Silvanito Nights @ The Jericho Tavern
Last month’s Jericho night was arguably our best to date. It was a really busy night and we’re hoping to carry on this month in the same vein. Filling the acoustic opening slot we’ll have the immensely talented Gabriel Mesh, who we met at our recent Comedy Pub gig in Piccadilly. Our guest band is local outfit Drunkenstein performing their sonic version of buildings collapsing in slow motion.

As always you can get £2 tickets in advance - http://www.wegottickets.com/event/44991. Please note these will come off sale on the afternoon of the gig, as we have to print off the list, so book early to avoid disappointment.

New Material
The creative juices are flowing freely in the Silvanito camp at the moment. We’re working on three new tracks ‘Last Fandango’, ‘Unrepentant’ and ‘Headful of Stars’ and hope to have at least one to present at The Jericho on the 23rd.

Sanna’s Studies
Sanna is away in Brasil at the moment undergoing rigorous study of the rumba and other Latin rhythms. Such commitment to her craft is to be applauded - no doubt she is managing to squeeze in a bit of time to enjoy the carnival season, which happens to be running at the moment.

Twilight Trailer
Twilight has been a recent cult hit and, as some of you may know, coincidentally features a heroine named Bella. One of our devoted Silvanites has decided that our song complements the slick vampire film perfectly and has created a video compiled of trailer clips available on the web. Check it out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqVv8MTKilA and let us know what you think. You can leave feedback on the youtube page itself or via our myspace site.

The Twilight frenzy isn’t likely to end any time soon; New Moon is released later this year, based on the second novel in the Stephenie Meyer series. If we can stir up enough interest, perhaps we will make the soundtrack...

It could be You!

This month’s lucky winner of the Silvanito prizedraw is Mae.

A lot of People have been asking us...

What we feel our greatest need is at the moment. Unquestionably the answer is management. We’re in great shape at the moment. The set is the strongest it’s ever been. Performance wise we’ve hit a new level of consistency of late. We’re really excited about the new material coming through and we are getting a fantastic response wherever we play. Self managing, it’s hard to know what else we can do to take the next step, and touting oneself is never easy. With the right management working with us, we’re confident that worldwide domination would be our next logical step. Yes friends, we are ready.
