24th Sept 2008 -Theres never been a better time..........
Hey guys,We've had a really busy last couple of months so thought it was about time we filled you in on the latest Basement news and gave you a new song to listen to!
Since we last checked in we've been to Grimsby, Leicester, Wrexham, York, London, Devon, Southend, Brighton, Mexborough, Derby, Cambridge, Hastings and played at the Beached Festival in Scarborough and the Bloodstock Festival at Catton Hall too. We also had the pleasure of playing with Blind Melon at the LA2 in London a couple of weeks ago....All of those shows were awesome so a massive thankyou to everyone who came along to support us!
Inbetween the gigs, we've been in and out of the studio working on all the new songs we've written which we'll be playing a few of at the Metro Club in London next tuesday night. We're really looking forward to it, anyone who wants to get a ticket can follow this link

or click the flyer on the site. It'll be well worth your while getting there early as Tequila Rockinbird and Wired Desire are both bands you'd be a mug to miss! Doors are at 7.30pm and we'll be onstage at 9.30pm....Judging by the messages you've sent us it looks like it's going to be a proper good night!
We also now have the online merch store up and running for anyone who wants a tshirt but hasn't made it to a gig recently.....there's a couple of different designs to choose from so go check them out here

they're printed on vintage wash tshirts so they look cool as fuck and girls look damn hot in them too! They'll also be onsale at all gigs from now on.........
Over the next couple of months we'll be back in the studio to finish off the next batch of songs and we'll be heading out on the road for the next leg of our gargantuan 2008 UK tour! Coming up are dates in Kettering, Glasgow, Dumfries, Fort William, Nottingham, Wrexham, Chester, Peterborough, Stafford and Grimsby. More details on tickets, stage times and directions can be found on the tour section of the myspace and the website.
.....then we'll be back out on the road with Thunder and Get Vegas for some monster gigs all around the UK. This is a tour we've been looking forward to for ages, it'll feel great to get back out on some big stages and tear it up! We're looking for some people to help us out with promotion at these shows.....so if you want to join our Street Team and help spread the word about Heaven's Basement, send us an email telling us your name, city or town you live in and we'll write back to you to explain everything.....here's the email address
streetteam@heavensbasement.com
we look forward to hearing from you!
Last but not least, we've uploaded a brand new track for you called 'Such Is Life' on the main page so go have a listen and let us know what you think!
Hope you're all doing mighty fine, we'll see you soon
