The band are moving forward with rehearsals and are also working
hard to get the new CD out in time for the Summer. As mentioned we
would love to see you all at Hachfest in July. It's in aid of
charity and there will be many other bands to experience as well and
we are hoping for some more live dates to come forward soon, so
maybe some nearer you.
Best Wishes
Kara.

Greenwood and a bit of juggling around of instruments i.e.

June 2005
Kara now have a bass player in the form of Mr Paul Davis and so
we hope to be playing in the Autumn alongside the release of our CD.
Sorry that the guest book is not working. It will hopefully be
operational by the end of the week, soon to be replaced by a better
looking site full stop. Pictures of Paul will be up soon. There will
also be a longer section of the demos as I think feedback would
suggest they're are a little too short.
April 2005
The band would like to thank a great audience at the HLC on
Saturday 16th. We were bowled over with your enthusiasm and
generosity and we'd love to come and play for you again sometime
this year - with a bass player as well. Many thanks also to CRS
staff\Dave Kennedy. Danny from HairlessHeart and to Magenta for not
only playing fantastic set but also being a nice crowd to play
under.
We had some enquires about a CD and we are putting this together
over the Summer, so we'll most certainly keep you posted and also
keep you updated of any confirmed gigs over the summer.
As a foot note we also awaiting a photo of Andy which is why he's
not with us on the front page, so it's not an engineered
oversite.
March 2005
Kara is currently seeking a bass player to complete its line up.
If you would like to know more about the position then please check
out the demos and if you feel you can really add to the sound,
please call the Cardinal Promotions on 07778 751164 or email us.
