Today I received a 25 page draft contract for the property of the studio. 4-5 clauses that need ironing out before signing which means further delays. In a bit of financial landside at the moment but hoping to look back at this in months to come and laugh.
Continuing to demo at home. Currently toying around with 4-5 songs now and resurrecting one that was even written back in 2008. The style did not fit my current outfit at the time but fits perfectly into whats happening now.
Still coming to terms with the fact that some of most important people in what was my life I'll be hardly be seeing at all.
The whole, starting a new life thing that I've seen people do, is really scary and hats off to anybody thats had the courage to take that step. But anyway, before I get anymore soppy, I'll shutup and re-blog when theres something more positive to report!

A short history of time
Yesterday was a sad day for We The Machines. As of now, it has come to an abrubt and devastating end. Detail isn't something that's worth going into right now as I'm sure a lot of you will hear this and that. Let just say, the fundamental elements, principles and infastructure in regards to lyrics, and relationship have since been undermined. Unfortunately I have found myself in a very dark hole of mistrust and lies, this was ofcourse, ironically, to protect the well being of an inevitable catastrophe which could have found itself in a much better position if truth was told on the outset.
Unsure of what is truth or lies I have reached the threshold for caring for what is and isn't. January 2010 saw me finally come out of a 16th month depression which was affecting my friendships, going out, enjoying shows, and enjoying life. I was ready to move forward and I believed I had the foundations and friendships to live a life I think that I deserved. I was wrong. Everything I had worked so hard for on my own was taken into massive jeporady. I was not prepared to journey back into a pit of depression, alcohol abuse, and alienation from my family. I've spent just under a year and a half of my youth battling and fighting emotions that I admit, have probably made me stronger, but still, I refuse to grow up like it.
Some may call this incredibly selfish and I admit, it is. But sometimes you need to be. When a clean break is required from certain people in your life, then sacrifices sometimes must be made. Such sacrifices I wish I will never have to make again, and sacrifices that have torn me inside and out. I've been told numerous times to move past certain people and move on, but this is very difficult when your immidiate peers hold on to them so dearly. I'm not prepared to give an ultimatum over who other people can and can't see. I need to be in control of my emotional state to a much higher degree, and we the machines, offers me no stability.

I did not take the decision lightly to leave what was so dear to me, despite my troubles, I've had a great time. I've met the most amazing people and bands, I've met some amazing and supporting friends and so many of you inspire me to continue in what I do in life, and musically.
Now, you're probably wondering what this page now represents. Well, I couldn't see myself not continuing music. I'm not going to let something like this stop me from achieving my dream. Whilst in a confused and mistrusting state within the past 2 months I had no choice to prepare myself a plan B. It gives me great honour to announce the birth of Evenu.
This is very much in the begining stages but lets just say, 2010 will be seeing things that I've always wanted to achieve and this time nothing, and nobody is going to stop me, or this band.
We are currently in the process of securing a property for a recording and rehearsal studios named "Empire Studios". This will be our central hub for writing, recording, and planning.
Once the studio is off the ground the studio will be open to the public and I hope that it will really help the thriving local music scene and give bands a high quality option to record and rehearse in Devon.
Evenu can ofcourse be found on

I look forward to presenting all this new music, and the future looks pretty fucking bright.
