Hello guys!

It's that time of the year, and in today’s blog, 2025.1, we are going to let you in on everything that’s been going on with our year so far.

Let’s start by telling you about our show at the St Moritz Club. 

Our first gig of 2025 took place at the St. Moritz Club in Soho, on February 8th.

The St. Moritz Club is hands down one of the most legendary rock venues in London, operating since the 60s, bands like Deep Purple and many others would perform there.

It was common throughout the 70s and 80s to find rock legends just having a drink and hanging out with friends there as well, and the place is full of old framed pictures capturing some of those moments.

One of the rock legends there regularly was none other than Lemmy, who has a famous picture found all over the internet taken right there at the St Moritz Club, sitting by a fruit machine. 

The spot where the picture was taken is exactly the same as it was, now with a framed copy of that picture hanging on the wall. Everything about this place really takes you back to that golden age of rock'n roll.

This is a place where we perform every few months, having had many very special shows there. 

A special thanks to our dear departed friend Mark Williams, who was the promoter responsible for bookings at the venue, and sadly passed away last year. 

We send our thanks to Max Mitch from Wired For Sound, who is currently responsible for sound and for bookings. 

And this legendary place is the one we chose for this special gig.

Our frontman Rafael Miranda's birthday is on the 5th of February, and that is also Breno Val's birthday, lead singer and guitarist for Lost Gravity, an amazing London band who's been on the road for over fifteen years.

So over drinks after one of our gigs there at the St. Moritz Club a few years ago, Breno and Rafael, who are long-time friends, decided to organize a birthday party/gig there at the St. Moritz, so we could do it at the same time the two things we love the most: playing rock and roll and celebrating with our friends.

And so we did, the party has been a yearly success ever since, and this year’s show couldn't have been better!

A big thank you to all of our supporters and friends who joined us that nigh. 

Each band delivered a one hour set, with plenty of originals as well as covering some of the best classics.

The place stays open until 3 AM so after the bands there is always a DJ ready to keep the party going, and the later it gets the greater the influx of people pouring in from all over Soho.

We'll be performing at the St. Moritz again really soon, so stay tuned, come down and check it out.

And by the way, we are also very happy to announce we are for the second year in a row confirmed to perform in one of the most prestigious blues rock festivals in the UK: The Great British R&B Festival!!

On Saturday August 23rd, in the lovely town of Colne in Lancashire, in a warm August bank holiday, people will be flooding the streets and some of the best musicians in the UK will be performing the very best of rock, rhythm and blues in the several stages of the weekend long event. 

We will be performing on two stages of the Official Fringe on Saturday August 23rd, with the first show in the afternoon and the second show at night, stay tuned for more details soon to come!! 

Don’t forget to check out their website (bluesfestival.co.uk) for more information about the festival. 

Stay tuned for more shows soon to be announced. 

We have also been working on the final touches on our EP. 

In case you hadn't heard, we are currently recording our second studio release: a brand new EP, with the first single to be released within the next few months.

Our first studio album was an absolute success, with results and feedback from the public much better than expected, and if you haven't already don't forget to check it out on all digital platforms: Black Wolf Blues.

And now a couple of years later, a lot of hard work and preparation has been put into this EP, with some of the songs having been in the works for years, now finally ready to be released.

Just to clarify for those who are not too used to the nomenclature, the only difference between an EP and an album is the number of songs, with EPs usually having up to 5/6 songs, with anything more than that being an album.

Our EP will consist of 5 songs in total, but they will be released in singles, with the first one set soon to be released. 

Recording technology has evolved immensely in the last two decades, giving many independent artists the opportunities that once only big studios and labels could offer.

The music industry has also changed, allowing for artists to distribute their music directly to all digital platforms accessible to anyone around the world, as well as interact directly with their fanbase online and on social media.

And in case you didn't know, our guitarist Jake is also a certified music producer, fresh out of one of the best music universities in London, and he will be in charge of the recording and production of our EP.

Taking all of this combined with the amazing creative output we have been getting from our new line up, and all the beautiful material that has been coming out of it, means that this EP is only the second of many releases yet to come.

One thing that really amazed me personally and that became one of the funnest parts of the whole thing was the writing and recording process.

The writing and recording process we established in this new line up is better than ever! And on top of it all, the dynamic we established between us as band members during the writing process and during the planning of this recording project as a whole is something that finished closing the bonds between us as a band.

We are really excited and working on this project every single day, it will really blow your minds.

You will naturally also get to see the artwork of the EP - which will be awesome - from the very first single, as well as the name of the EP.

We also have a new logo and a whole new visual identity prepared for you! 

Check out our Instagram, Facebook and YouTube for some of our videos, pictures and exclusive content.

New videos and pictures are regularly uploaded to our YouTube channel, so don't forget to like and subscribe so that you don't miss out on new content.

We also publish a new blog a few times a year, to let you in on all the latest news. So stay tuned, rock on and have an amazing bank holiday weekend!
