The DeSotos
Hi again.
We haven't posted in ages!
In August we did a mini tour of the North Island (New Zealand) playing in Whakatane, Thames, and three different unique shows in Wellington.. 1 at the blues club night, 2 and a corporate gig and 3 an acoustic/unplugged Sunday afternoon session.
Paul has been recording new songs and that should be finished this week but it is a side project to The DeSotos but we will keep you posted.
Hope all is good in your part of the world.
Oh, and thanks heaps for your online support. :-)
Hi everyone,
We have just got back home after a North Island tour showcasing new material for our new album - yet to be recorded. New songs on the set list included 'Deconstruction Will Continue' - a song inspired by the earthquakes in Christchurch & Wellington (New Zealand), 'City Guy' - a quirky song about a 'guy' who loves life and spends all his pay cheque each week, and the chilling song, 'Cold Wind'.
Also on the set list, songs from the Cross Your Heart & Your Highway For Tonight albums.
Friday April 11, we are doing a live show that will be broadcast on SKY TV (in NZ). For info on that, check out our facebook page (expired link)
Thanks for your support.
