Voltage Video from Arkham

Just to prove that I was at Arkham Recording Studio with the rest of Voltage, I have to show you this video. This isn't anything in particular, just something I was improvising while they were sound checking the drum kit in the sound proof room.

I am not really sure what they meant when they said drummers are too loud. 

Don't Get Lippy on Youtube

Here we go...a world premier of the video for our new song Don't Get Lippy is now on Youtube. Check it out and let us know what you think (especially if you like it)

More Pictures from Arkham Studios

As promised, a few more photo taken at Arham, while we recorded the demo CD. You don't see much of me because the kept me locked in a sound proof room. Something about drummers being too noisy!

Recording at Arkham Studios

Last week Voltage ended up at the Arkcham Recording Studios at the Mad House in Birmingham, to record a couple of tracks for a demo CD. It was a long day, but something that was really cool to do. Alex Cooper dis a really good job of handling the recording. We have all been made up with the results- hopefully we can get it out there for the fans to listen to soon. 

This week we are going to recording a video shoot! I know...mad! I can't wait to show that off!

I will post some more pictures from the mad house tomorrow, and hopefully I can show some of the pictures from the filming soon. 

in other news, Voltage are hopefully going to be playing a local Rock and Pop night, but the date is to be confirmed. 

Voltage Rock a Scorching Summer Gig

I haven't much time so I thought I would just quickly dump a load of photos from yesterdays gig- at Cheswick Greens Party in the Park. Voltage rocked it up at an open air gig on one of the very rare sunny days. Great atmosphere and fantastic to play to a home audience. The crowd were really up for a good time and I think we gave them one. My hands are so sore today because I got blisters because my hands were sweaty. 

Photos from an Audition

Voltage auditioned for a slot in a talent show on last Saturday in Knowle, Solihull. We only got to do our new song 'Don't Get Lippy' before the neighbours complained we were too loud. Rock and Roll!

It was a pain having to set up and all that for just one song, and I would rather be doing a gig before an audience but sometime you have got to do these things. 

I am not sure if anything will come of it, but the photos came out really nice. 

The next gig is at the Road House in Birmingham on Tuesday 28th May (this Tuesday). We are really looking forward to this one as I am sure that it will be a good one. 

The Adam and Eve 24/5/13

Last Friday Voltage had our first proper gig for what seems like ages as the Adam and Eve pub in Birmingham  as part of a charity night to support Acorns Children's Hospice. 

The gig went really well, as everyone was putting in loads of effort, and we were picking up energy off each other. There were a few technical difficulties, with Jack loosing his voice, and with the sound man turning up so late we never had a proper sound check, but overall, it was a great night, and a great way to kick of our summer season.

Jacks voice held out, but we had to swap the set list
halfway through as he was struggling with the high notes. 

Aarg!...Too much hair!
