Taking a Break…

April 19, 2011

There’s been a whole lot of changes recently in the world of Miscued Vein, and the guys have been doing a lot of soul searching to go along with it.

Two of the band members became proud fathers recently, and with the hectic demands of the music world constantly calling, the guys took the hard but understandable decision to devote more time to their families.

Just like students taking a Gap Year from studies, the band as a whole have decided to take a step back and enjoy a bit of a break.

They’ll be taking a breather and regrouping, before coming back stronger in the future.

A Proud and Fun Year

It seems amazing to think that this month of April 2011, actually only marks the 1 year anniversary of the band hitting the road, and it makes it even harder to believe, when the guys actually look back upon their journey during that time.

The guys somehow managed to squeeze in an incredible list of opportunities with sold out gigs, festivals, competitions, photo shoots, newspaper interviews, radio, and television appearances.

It has been non-stop for 12 months, with countless memories and giggles along the way.

And supporting them at every step on that journey, has been the truly amazing people that have been behind them wishing them the best, and enjoying the performances and the music.

To you folks, the band simply can’t thank you enough, and they hope that you’ve enjoyed the journey half as much as they have.

So until the next journey starts with the Miscued Vein train, thanks a million and see you in the future…

An Amazing Cause

March 24, 2011

After learning that the band had made it through to the next round of the International Surface Festival, the guys were delighted to learn that another of their top tracks was also being played on the radio.

A big shout out to Aaron Phillips from The Rock Show on Amazing Radio, for choosing to play the band’s song Healing Cause – sung of course by the band’s bass player and new Daddy Bear – Kev!

You can hear the radio appearance in the player below, or by visiting the Audio Section on the website – HERE.

It’s all going on, so make sure you don’t miss any news…

A Full On Show

March 7, 2011

Yes!

If you kept up-to-date with all of the live updates and live pictures on our Facebook page, you’ll know that Miscued Vein won through to the next round in Saturday night’s competition in Glasgow for the International Surface Festival.

The lads were delighted at the result, and are looking forward to the next round, which is getting scheduled for some time in May. Details to follow…..

Thank you to the mad crowd that headed in to cheer on the band; you guys REALLY made an impression on the organisers! Especially when the head man Andy started to try and thank the band for their performance, and the crowd started up an off-the-cuff rendition of the PRAY chant to drown him out.

Live & Unsigned – a full on show

This Saturday of course sees the guys performing at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall (oooh!).

This is the Regional Finals of the massive Live and Unsigned competition – THE biggest UK music competition for original bands and singers.

The huge show will be getting filmed and is done in the style of the hugely popular X-Factor, but this time it’s for original music. So the guys have to put together a tricky piece, merging one of their own original songs into a popular cover song, to prove they have the creativity and musical skills to make it past the judges.

It’s a full on night at the Concert Hall with loads of bands and artists trying to make it through; should be a great night out.

And the night is completely open TO ALL AGES.

Tickets normally cost £7.50 but Miscued Vein got a strictly limited batch
that you can buy for only £5!

You don’t need to be there for Miscued Vein; just enjoy a great night out. Mind and check your make-up though, as you could be filmed!
