Northern Lights.

Sadly, SOUTH PARADE as we know them have split up.

From their site:
“south parade are no more. Fuelled by personality clashes and musical indifference the band have deceided to call it a day.

The lads would like to thank ALL of the bands that have supported south parade over the past 3 years, everyone who has been to the gigs and of course everyone who has viewed the website. Everyone in the band will go away with great memories of some amazing times.”

According to sources close to the band, James is going to be engaged in DJ’ing and mixing, including remixing some of the local indie scene’s tunes. Shaun continues to play with his covers band Relish, and I’m sure it won’t be long before sensible “Fingers” Freeman is back on the local indie circuit. He’s too good to lie idle for long.

Which leaves Oli & Tim who have gone on to form a new band, the NORTHERN LIGHTS.
Included in the lineup are Tim’s brother Pete Chapman on lead guitar and the mighty Dave Sprawka on bass. It’s early days yet but already web gurus Jamie & John have sewn the seeds of the band’s new website which you’ll find with a single click around about here: www.myspace.com/northernlightsgy

There’s already the beginnings of a great new tune called “Bring It On” on the site for you to hear, but just wait until the lads have it recorded with the full ensemble, It’s gonna rock. You’ll see more on the development of the band here on the newts.net, but be sure to check out the band’s new site and leave them a message or two.
