Just in case you didn't know.. outroads play CHILE!!

If you didn't quite catch all the information in the radio interview...
Outroads do Chile!!

How? Well, Geoff - with the help of his lovely wife Kate - submitted 2 Outroads songs to Chile's biggest song festival in November. One of the songs featured his sister Rhian Walsh on vocals.
It seems the panel were won over by the latter, as it has been officially entered as the UK's contribution to the entire competition!!! Woo-Hoo!!
So, things have snow-balled pretty quickly for the band and are continuing to do so as the competition is held less than 2 months away in february 2006. Running over 6 days the Vina del Mar International song festival will be broadcast to 22 countries live from the most outstanding ampetheatre, which holds 15,000 people... glug!

Christmas Party!

Where were you???!!! No matter, the place was packed, and rightly so. The four acts supporting Outroads at the Lescar were quality.
The gorgeous Sarah Jay (Massive Attack) with Dougie, Baby Long Legs winning everyone over with their bonkers, totally addictive and strangely moving music. Sean Mack braving the stage alone, belting out his acoustic gems. And warming up the night, Richard Weston and Rhian Walsh, experimenting with a really, really expensive guitar. Class.
Outroads were watching the clock a tad, but thanks to some last minute engineering (what a legend) and a more than up-for-it crowd, they managed to perform the songs we all want to hear. Lizz pulled out some corkers from her bag of tricks, and despite the muffin-spewing, the band were on form...teasing and spitting and grabbing your sensitive bits as only they know how.
Nobody left dissapointed. All senses were reached tonight by this diverse line-up. The crowd left fatter than thay arrived for sure.Nice one. Once again though, where the **** were you???!! Your loss : )
