Since the last post, we've played a further nine gigs and released a new demo CD.
Live appearances have been as follows: The Frog & Onion, Nottingham (21 April 2006); The Polish Centre (18 May); The Sumac Centre (9 June); Pride, Leicester (24 June); Pride, Nottingham (30 June); back to The Sumac Centre (8 September); back to The Old Crowne, Lincoln (4 November); back to The Frog & Onion, Nottingham (10 November); and a first appearance at The Rose of England, Nottingham (23 November).

Lincoln gig - 8 April 2006, The Old Crowne
Ahead of the 21 April gig at the Frog and Onion in Nottingham, Pointy Boss play The Old Crowne in Lincoln on Saturday 8 April, with Keith's side-project band Plastic Jack and Cutting Edge.
A gig at the Polish Centre in Nottingham is also shaping up for May - more details as things are confirmed. We've also approached Junktion 7 in Nottingham about a possible support slot with 999 in May, but have heard nothing back as yet...
Still, a fair few Pointy live outings are now in the offing :)

New studio session
Pointy Boss returned to Unit 5 Studios in Mansfield on Sunday 12 March, to record a stack of tracks for a new demo CD release - the first time that the Pointies have been in the studio with Shel behind the kit.
A mixture of old songs (like Nothing Here's For Sale), new numbers (like Runway) and tracks from Rich's past (including the Metro Youth classic H-Bomb) were all recorded in super-quick time.
A mixing session has been booked for early April, and the results should hit the streets (as they say) later that month.
The new CD is currently without a name. Suggestions please...
Keith. Riff-god.

Here's to a Pointy 2006!
All best wishes to our blog and BiG THiNG POiNT visitors for 2006!
The first Pointy Boss rehearsal after the festive break is tomorrow night, which will get us back into the swing of things, and give us the chance to map out our cunning plan for the year ahead...
There'll be a slight delay on the issuing of the See You Later CD, as we've a bit of a printing issue at the moment which is halting the production of the sleeves.
We hope to have this cracked soon, so that the demos can begin to fly from the production line.

Photos from The Old Angel gig added...
... to the Big Thing Point gig pages. Nice.
We've also taken off the java applet from the http://www.pointyboss.co.uk homepage, that was causing some problems with security-obsessive browsers.

Cheers to Gimp Fist and Wildcard...
...for putting The Old Angel gig together, for powering through their sets, and for making the arrangements on the night so easy and hassle-free.
The crowd was small, the sound bounced around the cavernous space, and our Durham hosts were left out of pocket, but it was still a good night. If you weren't there... well, you missed it...
Photos from the night of all three bands will be added to the BiG THiNG POiNT site as soon as possible...

New Pointy Boss CD - coming soon!
The new four-track Pointy Boss CD See You Later will be available soon, with selected content available for 'streaming' download from the BiG THiNG POiNT site.
The recording and mixing is finished, as soon as the sleeves roll off the production line, the sounds of See You Later will hit the streets...
This recording, which took place at the Pointy favourite Unit 5 studios in Mansfield, was the last done with previous drummer Brian.

New drummer!
Pointy Boss have a new drummer - Michelle (better know as 'Shel')! She's been rehearsing with the band for around six weeks now, learning and helping to arrange the current set. Shel had her first outing with the band at the Sumac Centre gig on Friday 18 November, and did us proud. She's behind the kit again for a second gig this Sunday 27 November, at the Old Angel, Nottingham, with GimpFist and Wildcard.
