Its been a tough year and as a result we have lost a bit of momentum, but now we are back. Paul is walking at last (its taken him 26 years!) Ant is now fully fledged member of the ID rock show while Matt and Jez have just been sat twiddling thumbs, and drinking tea!

We are due to start gigging again Monday 27th November at the horns in Watford, see the gigs page for details. Please support us by signing the mailing list at the top of this page.

Sun 19th Feb..
And so the search for Paco's replacement continues. We have seen some excellent guitarists and may well be announcing a replacement soon. As a result of delays in finding the right guitarist for the job, we have decided to cancel gigs at west one four ( March 4th) and the Roxy (March 12th). As soon as we have guitarist onboard it will be full scream ahead, so keep up to date by joining the mailing list.

Rock Legend Danny Vaughn from Tyketto has given us his thoughts on the new album, these will be available on the press page of the site shortly.

8th February 2006
As annouced on Monday, our lead guitarist Paco will be leaving us to pursue solo projects. Therefore we will not be able to play ourt next scheduled gig at West One Four on Thursday 2nd March.
But we hope to return on the 12th March at The Roxy Club with our new guitarist.
If you would like to be considered for the post please email us at auditions@indigodown.com.

Appologies for the long silence. We are planning some more live shows soon, but havce suffered a setback due to paul being an old cripple!

More to follow on that soon Check the competition on the forum. A truly interactive idea this. You give us a song title and we write the song, you are then invited free to a gig where we perform it as a one off.
