blue sky band

And then there were four..... At the beginning of 2005, our indomitable trio of Matt Simpson (lead vocals and bass), Andy Simpson (guitar, piano and harmonies) and Rich Sallnow (drums and harmonies) were joined by a fourth member, local axe legend, John Westwood on guitar. Like a Little John of rock we found him hiding out in a leafy glen of the Forest of Arden, causing havoc amid the locals with his rhythmic right hand and lightning speed up and down the fret board. And now, ladies and gentleman, he is ours, all ours.Since that fortunate addition we have moved on up to higher things, the evidence of which can be found right here for you to pleasure your ears with. The old songs, which you may remember if you've seen us before, are now but a distant melody on the wind of time. Songsmithing and recording took up all our sweet time during 2005 and with the new year we decided it was time to get off our studio arses and get back on the circuit. Many thankyous to those of you who came to witness us unleash the new set back in April. Like a tight back four we returned to the stage with a stormer, charging forward to score the winner, if you pardon the stretching of the football analogy. Our appetite for playing live returned with gusto so if you didnt make it in April, fear not and turn your attention to the gig listings for details.So listeners, dont fear change. All that was good remains, all that is new will, we hope, astound and enthrall you. Like Brummie Geppetos we've been slaving away in our workshop creating some music that were really happy with. Its Pinnochio, but with guitars. No lie.We'll be taking our new material across the country over the next year so come and wrap yourself up in it. We'll be regularly updating what's available on myspace, so keep in touch.Los Bandidos de la Cielo Azul
