I wish the guys all the best, hope they conquer London and move on to expand through Europe successfully, if things change for me I hope to join them next year!

Hey brother!

Im sure London will love them!

As for being a little lonely, kind of I guess, this mob were my brothers, closest friends and rumberos for many years and my main band for the last 3 years.

But alas, Ive got a few things up my sleeve :;): project wise, which will proove to be very interesting, and as far as getting another gig, Im very well known in the Sydney scene, landing another gig wont be a hassle, Im already getting calls and stuff to come fill in/join other bands.

Son Veneno was very well known in Sydney, their sound has been imitated, but never replicated.
Having been with them has given me a good profile ontop of the one Ive had for many years in Sydney.

Looking forward to continuing my current projects and moving forward with the new ones! :cool:

Well those are facts of the music/business,where musicians feel the necesity to move in other to grow,The Bee Gee,Olivia Newton John,etc., are some of the cases where musicians had started there,but went some place else.other musicians and bands would come along.Dr. Zaragemca
