08/12/06 - They Want Us Back?!(Discuss This Topic)
  • After what can only be described as the worst gig in the history of live performances, we have been offered the chance to play the venue again. Details are up in the gig section, and Power will be on water until we get off stage.

  • The video of us performing E.O.M.D. at the Windows Live Sessions competition has been added to the "Live Footage" section of the downloads page. More footage from this gig to appear soon.

26/11/06 - Long Overdue Website Updates(Discuss This Topic)
  • The gigs section has now been updated with pics and details pages for the last 2 gigs (Nov 2nd and 15th). Videos for these will be coming soon.
  • The videos for the gig from December last year have now been added, how efficient am I! Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any pictures in existence from this gig, so the pics page has been removed.
  • The demo of 'I Am The Six Million Dollar Man' is now available to download from the home recordings page in the downloads section.

16/11/06 - Last Night's Announcement(Discuss This Topic)
  • Although not strictly true, when Power stood up and declared that this was our bassist's last show, he wasn't far from the truth. As from today, Stez will not be playing bass with the band anymore, but instead he will join Tommy as a lead vocalist. Bass duties will now be covered by Swanny.
  • The band will debut this slightly altered line up at the Bar Fever gig on the 1st December.

05/11/06 - What's Good About London...(Discuss This Topic)
  • The band finally got back from the Barfly gig on saturday evening, after an unplanned extra day in the lovely London area. As expected, we didn't win the competition. But we had fun playing the gig, and consider it our best performance yet. We have our own personal video footage of the gig which will be making an appearance on here soon. But the event promoters also plan to make a video they shot of E.O.M.D. available online.
  • The band has booked a gig for Wednesday 15th November at the Soundhouse in Bolton, more information on this to follow.

27/10/06 - London Barfly?!(Discuss This Topic)
  • It came as a bit of a shock to us all ("I've Just Shit" was a popular response when I phoned the guys to tell them). But somehow we've made it to the final of the MSN Live Sessions competition. Out of all the unsigned bands that entered from the UK, we were on the shortlist of just 10 from the Rock/Metal genre, and we have now been picked as one of 3 bands from the genre to enter the Final.
  • The final takes place at London's Barfly in Camden (Not bad for our 3rd gig). There are 3 separate genres, meaning that there will be 9 bands playing on the day (November 2nd). Its exposure and experience if nothing else, we hope you'll cross your fingers for us.

01/10/06 - Acacia Scripts Reborn(Discuss This Topic)
  • The band have now been practising for a few weeks, and have written four new songs. These along with E.O.M.D. will become a major part of the bands new setlist. All their previous songs will be disregarded now to concentrate on the new material.
  • A demo version of the first song from this new material is now available to members of the mailing list. Go to the contact page to sign up and receive the link.

11/08/06 - Acacia Scripts: Reunited(Discuss This Topic)
  • The band had their first full practise in over three months last night. It went quite well, with most of the time being spent on a new song. The band are looking to get some new material together, and start gigging by the end of the year when their set list is as good as it can be.

28/07/06 - Appreciation From Kerrang(Discuss This Topic)
  • The band has been selected by kerrang.com as one of the best entries in the Windows Live Spaces competition. Head on over to this page and download/listen to our songs so we get more votes.

27/07/06 - Acacia Scripts Plugged Back In(Discuss This Topic)
  • After getting together to work on the songs acoustically the band realised it wasn't something that would be easy, and some members weren't happy with the way it was going. With the possibility of proper rehearsals beginning again soon, the band wanted to concentrate its efforts on getting back to full strength, and so have decided not do the acoustic set.
  • On the positive side the band have booked their first practise since Power had his operation. They will be returning to Redbridge in early August to pick up where they left off.

18/07/06 - Acacia Scripts Unplugged(Discuss This Topic)
  • The band have been offered the opportunity to play an acoustic set in Bolton sometime in the near future. It will involve the full band, with power playing using brushes. The band are going to begin rehearsing their material next week and making any necessary changes for the songs to work well acoustically.

29/06/06 - We've Moved(Discuss This Topic)
  • I completed the move to the new server today. We now have our own domain name, forum, and many other new features. Don't expect these things to be perfect right away, as I have rushed this a bit, and I am still working on the site to make it better. All the downloads, pictures, and songs pages should work fine. If you run into any problems then please let me know, Cheers.

23/06/06 - CD Finally Complete(Discuss This Topic)
  • Over seven month's after it was started, the CD is now ready. If you want a free copy then send the band an email and we'll sort one out for you. All of the songs are available to download on the downloads page, or you can stream a few of them over at our myspace page.
  • The songs page has been updated with the new versions, and has been changed to be more like a discography page.

19/06/06 - Brand Spanking New Website!(Discuss This Topic)
  • The new website came online today. Hopefully there should be no problems with it, as i've spent much time testing it. Let me know what you make of it.

24/05/06 - Recording, Side Projects And Hernias(Discuss This Topic)
  • I know updates have been sparse recently, but I've been busy getting involved on a new project with Power and Tommy. We've started a side-project type band that will play slightly heavier music than Acacia. If you're interested in this then you can visit our myspace page for more information.
  • The band had to cancel the dates in May that were planned for recording, but have now re-booked them for the 22nd and 23rd of June. So touch wood, the CD should be ready shortly after that.
  • Power recently underwent his hernia operation, and is now on his way to recovering. Therefore there will be now be no practice sessions as well as gigs, for the next 3 months. But on the positive side, once he is back to full capacity the band will start gigging again.
