Happy New Year
2004 already - where does the time go?
You will all be pleased to know that the new NMA studio album is our #1 priority for this year. Work is under way at the band's studio in Bradford and we will keep you up to date with how things are progressing
North America
Plans are underway for a return to touring in America. As we stated before, the plan is to come back with Justin & Dean and carry on where we left off.
It is looking likely that we will start in New York on or about April 15th and then go south and east - taking in Virginia, The Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Louisiana. We hope to then hop further west and do LA, San Diego, Tijuana, Tucson, Albuquerque, Denver, Salt Lake City and Las Vegas.
As before any suggestions for suitable venues (150 - 400 capacity with good house sound system) more than welcome. Please mail thoughts to

Astoria DVD
Those of you who made it to The Astoria on Dec 16th will not have failed to notice the cameras. There were 8 in all, including a madman who spent all show in the pit, and the rushes (previews of each cameras shots) look great. This DVD is being produced by a third party so we have little control over the timing but we hope that it will be out sooner rather than later.
As we have previously stated, the DVD will come packed with an audio CD of the same concert.
South Africa
Details are confirmed and as you have probably read elsewhere the full band will be playing two shows in Johannesburg on Friday and Saturday, 19th & 20th March, at the Newtown Music Hall (previously known as The Mega Music Hall). Advance tickets are priced at 185 Rand.
There will also be a warm up show, on 17th March, when Justin (possibly accompanied by Dean) will play at the Doors nightclub. Tickets for this show are very limited and are priced at 100 Rand advance.
