Curly with the lovely Coventry ladies - Ooooow Yeah!

Words From The Front . . .

Hey, I'd like to say hello, I am Curly, the new lead singer with Desolation Angels.

It's a privilege to be a part of this great band, helping to take it forward, contributing to writing new material whilst maintaining the quality, drive and energy that has appealed to and rocked fans in the UK, Europe and the U.S. since the 1980's!

The first DA track I listened to was 'Fury' and it blew me away! I had just completed 30hrs recording at a studio in Birmingham and the record company who hired me were dicking me about and trying to wriggle out of paying me. The lyrics of 'Fury' expressed the aggression and rage that was welling up inside me, I wanted to hurt these f-ckers, make their lives a misery for what they were trying to do to me. We have all had times in our lives when at some point we felt we could lose it, and 'Fury' said it all for me; this is when I realised I was on the same wave length as DA and could relate to what this band was all about, raw, living breathing emotion, expressed through explosive, heavy riff driven rock n roll!

I spent a couple of months learning lyrics for my audition and when the day came I was blown away by the thunderous 'live' sound of DA in the studio and the sheer power and energy that they deliver!

The rest of the band and I hit it off straight away and I knew the audition had gone well when Rob said "You are so right for this band, this wasn't like an audition, it was like we were rehearsing after you had been with the band for a few months!"

So, here I am, a cold can of cider in hand, all fired up n ready to get out there fronting the awesome 'Desolation Angels'! I drink to your health and look forward to  sharing a few cold ones with you at our live shows in the UK, Europe, U.S. and beyond!

Rock on, 

Curly

Heavy Metal

Always the happy mob . . . Just add dry ice, pyros, beer and we got ourselves a party

With these . . . all is cool in the Rob household.

At last - Drums are now back
in the fold, welcome Sean.

Hi there people . . .

Well its been awhile . . . So lets have a bit of an update then . . . Dave Wall and the lyric writing for the four new tracks that we were going to put together with our American friends at Silver Cloud – What happened Dave?! Never heard back from you, never had any reply's to my emails or texts? Yep, nothing? I guess sunning down at Santa Monica takes preference? (just kidding ya Dave) You have your reasons I guess, let me know though if you are still going to try and creating something before the end of the world comes to us all?! . . . But realistically,  and just for now the project has been canned. Shame really, there where some good songs there, and having all the old crew on board would have been cool. We will however, be including a couple of the songs in the live set though.

We are about to audition more drummers, (honest, they really are exploding one after another!) one guy in particular is looking good at the moment, will he go up in smoke too?! Humm, I'll let you know how that goes, we’ll see if he really has the balls to join?!

Also, a new singer coming on board too . . . Should be interesting!

Lastly, Keith bought (not another one) his seven hundred and thirty fifth classic, vintage, retro, God like, succulent, lovely, to die for, epoch, historical, keep ya bloody hands off it, period Gibson SG . . .

Check out the image and letter from the seller. Nice one Keith.

'Hey Keith,

I did a little research on Desolation Angels last night (multi-tasking whilst consuming lots of beer), and I am amazed to find that you are a genuinely serious act !

Websites, tours, women, albums, drugs and merchandise. Wow !

I didnt realise that you were so famous, otherwise I would have picked you up at Lime Street in my Aston.

But now that I know you are famous, I have been straight on to the The News of World trying to sell an exclusive of how Keith Sharp arrived with groupies, smashed up the train, did plenty of lines of coke in my living room and all those other things that you wild rocker types get up to. Unfortunately a message on their ansaphone said - sorry due to a bit of naughty behaviour we are now closed - forever.

So I tried the Hereford Gazette and they just said he does that sort of stuff here every day.

Anyhow, I am really, really dissapointed that you never brought me a complimentary 5 CD box set of your work. I mean, how could you come and relieve me of one of the best SGs on the planet for a pittance and not cough up a freebie of your CD collection?

I demand an explanation, at once !'
