NEWS January 12th 2007 HAPPY NEW EARS and here's a NEW GIG! Now that our New
Years hangovers have receded (and we hope yours have too) we thought
we'd play another gig. Fancy coming along? It's on Friday 25th of
January at the Cockpit Theatre, Gateforth
Street (Off Church Street),
The real purpose behind this gig is that in the controlled environment of a college theatre we can get some tracks recorded and filmed. We're hoping to use a few for future releases, so please wear your smartest clothes and be as noisy as you want (see the example set by the Danish crowd above). Good quality heckling will be required too! We just added some photos of our December 07 Mini European Tour- see photos page. And looking at them all it really does seem like we've managed to play our instruments in more and more silly ways over the years. This lot are even sillier than before. In other news, we
had a bit of trouble last year with the Chat Forum, you'll be pleased to
know it's all up and running again, so drop by to say hello and feel
free to ask any questions about Switzerland that have ever made you
curious. Roo will be happy to answer them all for you. |

we might play a couple of new tunes and maybe some old ones we've not
done in a while- click on the contacts page on the menu on the left and
email us if there's an old Sack Trick song you'd like to hear at these
gigs. |

NEWS May 19th 2007 We've sold out of stock of Penguins
on the Moon CDs! Yes, it's amazing but they're still selling well,
that's the second pressing gone. We're waiting to get some new stock in.
Meanwhile Mystery Rabbits and Sheep In Kiss Make-up CDs are still in
stock and the new album is making it's way along the long path to
completion too. All the sizes of T-shirts are back in stock as well. We
had sold out of Skinny "Not All Sheep Are Cuddly" shirts, but they're
back on the menu again. See Mail Order Page

NEWS May 4th 2007 A couple of weeks a go, me (Chris Paulo Dale) and Robin Guy and Jef Streatfield recorded a few short edits of a couple of sack trick tunes for use on Total Rock's TV show called "Licensed to Rock". We're playing the theme music and a few other bits here and there. It's being broadcast from tommorrow (Friday May 4th) at 7pm on SKY channel 368. I think it's getting repeated a lot and will be on regularly for the next few months at least... We also did a
secret gig we weren't allowed to tell anyone about last month in
Lampeter in Wales. Sorry we didn't tell you at the time but it was top
secret. We promise not to keep any more secret gigs from you..... |

NEWS December 11th 2006 !!!!!ROCK CITY GIG CANCELLED!!!! We're very sorry to say our gig at Nottingham Rock City this coming weekend has been cancelled. We're gutted because it would have been a really good one (as were the ones in Denmark and London the last couple of weeks), and also because it's the furthest North we were going this year. It was cancelled by the venue for reasons best known to themselves. We'll try to make it up to everyone in the new year with the release of our fourth album and a slightly more comprehensive tour to follow. It only remains to say thank you very much to everyone who came to the London and Danish shows for making them so much fun (there'll be new photo galleries of them here soon) ....and to wish you all the best for the coming new year. MERRY KISSMAS!

NEWS September 28th
2006 To celebrate the fact that Paul Stanley has used the name of Rockin' Roly's band "Bittersweet" in the lyrics to one of the songs on his forthcoming solo album, we at Sack Trick are giving away a couple of copies of the Bittersweet album "Lying, Drinking, Losing" to the first two people who can correctly place the following Belgian Beers in order from Bitter to Sweet.... Hoegaarden Blanche, Timmermans Peche, Leffe Triple Send your answers HERE. The judge (that's me!) will have a go at drinking all three in a row to define the correct answers. The judges decision is final, but probably flawed. If you're not quick enough and don't happen to win you'll simply have to go to the Bittersweet Website to buy the "Lying, Drinking, Losing" album.... or go to Bittersweet's My Space Page to make friends with Roly and hear his new tunes... PS Don't forget our two upcoming Sack Trick gigs.... Monday November 20th at Camden Underworld, London and Friday December 8th at Gimle, Roskilde, Denmark
More details on those gigs below... |

September 4th 2006 We're going to do a couple of gigs around Kissmas time. Not loads just a couple. We'll probably do more when the next album comes out (see below). The gigs we've confirmed so far are- Monday November 20th
Friday December 8th We'll let you know more about doors and stage times, support bands and ticket prices closer to the time. But before you say "I can't get to either of those gigs", just bear in mind a flight to Denmark from the UK with Easy Jet or Ryan Air can be extremely cheap if booked in advance (I've just had a look at Easyjet.com where they've got London-Copenhagen return for just over £35). Why go to Denmark? Well, there's a good reason we keep going there... it's top fun! Oh, and we forgot to tell
you but we just played Sark Carnival! It's the biggest festival on the whole of Sark!
It's the only festival on the whole of Sark! Thank you
to everyone who's made friends with us at our
MySpace
page... it's really growing isn't it? So how's this new album
coming along? Well, we're just coming up to the two biggest hurdles... Roly's Bagpipe solo and Robin's vocals... wish us luck! |

NEWS July 12th
2006 Glad that World Cup's over, we all turned into football hooligans for a minute there! One of the good things about having so many people in your band is that you always win the World Cup. Well done Sponder, Italy triumphed just like we knew "we" would!
You might also notice lots of tiny changes to

NEWS June 2005 Sack Trick have gone World Cup Crazy (crazy, crazy, crazy nights) !!!!!! Even watching Kiss' home nation, America (population c.298 million) get thrashed 3-0 by the Czech Republic (population c.10 million) couldn't put us off. So what exactly have Sack Trick members been doing to celebrate the Football World Cup? Chris Paulo Dale along with fellow football pundits, Jussy (Scotland fan) and Nando (fairly unbiased Brazilian) have been hosting a "World Cup" section on the Sack Trick chat forum. If you've got an opinion on the World Cup (or even if you haven't) click on the "Chat Forum" here at www.sacktrick.com and go to the "World Cup" section and let us know what you think (or don't think). Meanwhile our three pundits will be giving their expert opinions match by match! Keyboardist, Dave Cheeseman (along with his Pillow Talk underling, Jimothy Jirgens) has written, recorded and released a World Cup song (somewhat optimistically entitled "Come on England"). But don't be too harsh on the Hull Tigers supporter, it's all for "Sport Aid" charity, hence they've even allowed Twin Zero drummer Si Hutchby to play on it. You can order your copy now through www.pillowtalkweb.co.uk or something..... Swiss Roo Gotto and Benny the Calvert have celebrated the Football World Cup by playing live at the metal equivalent of the greatest sporting event of the year- Download Festival at Donnington. Roo played guitar for Johnny Truant and Benny played drums for Killing Joke all in the name of football (and/or metal). Sack Trick percussionist, bag pipe player and Bittersweet founder Rockin' Roly Bailey has been doing his bit for the World Cup by drinking an average of four pints of Guinness per match. For his part, Robin Guy has left the country, but will return after the Football finals... OTHER

NEWS March 30th
2006 Great news for all
Roo
and Cheeseman stalkers! They're just about to start a UK tour with
their band Twin Zero. See Twin Zero for more info on the tour (including free giveaways) and their new album "The Tomb to Every Hope" I'm guessing everyone's already familiar with You Tube? It's a website where you can view loads of cool metal videos. It's also got other videos there too, but they're rubbish. There's now loads of Sack Trick and related videos up there. Have a play around in the search bar.... Sack Trick also have
a planned tour of Sark (yes, it's another tiny channel island)
coming up in August... |

NEWS February 26th 2006 The new Sack Trick recordings have entered Phase 7. Phase 7 is a very tricky time for any album. It's when you take a quick half time break from the main album and consider the bonus track (or tracks). Previously Sack Trick as had something of a reputation for its bonus tracks and we'd like to improve on this for the next release. Ideas are in motion, squares are turning... In the meantime people are discussing what their favourite Sack Trick songs from past albums are at the Chat Forum under "Something about Sack Trick". What's your favourite Sack Trick song?
