Today we had our last practice with new drummer Rob before we take him out on the road and it went very well, all told. He's sitting nicely in the songs, really getting over the "must hurry" thing that appears to afflict all new drummers and generally the songs are sounding very together. I've had to teach my fingers to get used to new bass patterns after years of locking in with Mic's way of doing things but I've got there more or less and we're sounding like a fairly solid rhythm section now. That's just as well because we've got a few shows coming up:

Saturday 4th November we're at The Boiler Rooms in Guildford (at last! Guildford has a proper music venue!) sharing the bill with the amazing Big Wednesday and the immense voice of Rob Reynolds in what should be a brilliant night out.

Tuesday 7th we're at Bracknell's Cellar Bar - one of the traditional early gigs for new Sequoia members (my first show with the band was there, two and a bit years back) and a nice little venue. If you're in Reading that night, why not come over? Do you hear me, Shanks?

Monday 13th we're playing at Madame Jojo's in Soho. This is an industry showcase set up by our management and there will be a lot of people there that we really need to impress. If any of you are in the London area and can make it we shall be very grateful as an enthusiastic audience often makes the difference between a great show and a merely good one.

As always you can find more from the Sequoia site or hear the tunes over on MySpace.

Did you play there back in the early days of Sparks?

I don't know, maybe the guy from Sparks could tell you, seeing as he was there before I was born, presuming the club was there in the early 70s..

I believe it was actually a brothel back then. As a crazy boatman of the temporal streams such as yourself doubtless remembers.
