We also would like to formally announce that we have a fourth member, Matt Humphreys has joined us on second guitar and you can see the four piece ALASKA in action at the Seacroft Gala on the 2nd of July. Stage time 1.20pm.



Should be a right lovely day...

REVIEW

Hello there everyone, Alaska stomped on stage and rocked out on the 18th of march at the 360 club. We had a blast and it seems some other people did too...

Can Be Found

At the library pub on the 18th of March, which is a Friday. Tickets are £4 advance can be bought at Jumbo records, or directly from us (alaskasounds@hotmail.co.uk). Or £5 on the door. But be warned! This is a weekly night that regularly sells out because of its awesome sound and line up, so get in there early!

We will also be at The Hop on granary wharfe on the 27th of March which is a sunday. Details to come to light soon I should imagine.

Footage

Some mysterious footage has emerged of Alaska's Last Stand of 2010. An entire set infact. Here is a cut from the set. Reptile.



Needless to say that this is a rock song so it should be turned UP.

Hats off to Brendan for pounding the living shit out of that drum kit.

And thanks to Ruth for doing a great job on filming it.

Remember to check the last post for a free download album.

Retrospective

This time last year I was beginning to write a kind of concept ep/album, or at least, a collection of songs that had a common thematic thread. I recorded a few songs for it at home and at hope house, as demos. Two of which already appear on this blog. We're into 2011 now and the band are in the midst of recording the chosen songs in the studio. I thought it would be nice to put up a free album of some of the demos which didn't make the final cut, or that have no real home right now. We're into the new year so here is a misfits retrospective of 2010, 11 tracks and some artwork I cobbled together today to fit it. Far out. Copy the link into your address bar and download in confidence. Please enjoy.
