02/11/2006 - Thanks

In the inspirational words of BH: "We've been on the road doing comedy for 10 years now, so forgive us while we plaster on a fake smile and plough through this shit one more time...." Ha ha! No, really, we've LOVED every minute and would do it all again 1994 times over. This is actually a 2-day premature thank you to everybody involved in our debut UK and Ireland tour. In no particular order, thanks to DC, TL, Bob Gold, Leslie (plectrum head possessor) Dee (D D Dee I tell you...?), Professor Griff, Pedro, Sam the ninja, the band related people we've met along the way, the many people who've made it out to the shows, the floor boards and the scoreboards. See you in Oxford tonight or Brighton tomorrow. My Alamo X

 

23/10/2006 - Tour Update

The band have been continuing to spread love across the UK since returning from the riotous Ireland tour last week. Having kicked off this leg in Leicester on Sunday 15th the boys have already played on-fire shows in Glasgow, Birmingham and Newcastle to name but 3, breaking a drum kit and a couple of guitars along the way. Touring until 3rd November, playing almost every night, it's highly probable they're hitting your town (or somewhere close) over the next 2 weeks. Check 'Live' section for details and ticket info.

 

09/10/06 - Galway show rocks!

Sunday night in Galway and an audience of 200 squeeze in to the 'Roisin Dubh' Alt/rock venue. A great gig for the hot and sweaty diehards.

The lads came on to Johnny Cash's cover of personal Jesus and kicked off the set with future single and live favourite 'My Friend Said', finishing with the soon to be released debut single 1994

Screaming for more, the crowd gave the band the best gig of the tour so far. Ireland and My Alamo are now new best friends!

 

05/10/06 - Irish tour underway

last night saw us kicking off the Irish leg of our debut tour @ University College Dublin freshers ball! The bright eyed 1st year students were rocked to the core the My Alamo way and Dublin town sounded better for it!

16/09/2006 - Single Release

Debut Single ‘1994’

Released in October on 7th Star Recordings via Universal to coincide with their first full UK tour.

My Alamo will release their corrosive debut single ‘1994’ with 7th Star Recordings in October, to be released on CD and a special limited edition 7” vinyl.

Haling from South Wales and bohemian Moseley in Birmingham, My Alamo are emerging as one of the UK's finest new alternative rock bands. Building on the rowdy triumphs of so many Midlands rock acts that still stand the test of time today, and feeding off the vibrant Welsh rock scene, My Alamo are raring to prove their mettle as rightful heirs and stand poised for pitched battle.

Currently recording at Mighty Atom in South Wales with producer Joe Gibb (Jane’s Addiction, Funeral For A Friend), the band are polishing off their soon to be released eponymous debut album which promises a caustic bite: the band’s trenchant songwriting demands large audiences and wide, open spaces, melding anthemic melodies with bruised riff-age.

Already being played on XFM and Kerrang Radio, the hotly tipped My Alamo embark on their first UK-Irish club tour following successful appearances at the Download and Oxegen festivals over the summer.

My Alamo are James Rigby (lead vocal and guitar), Zach Beckett (guitar and backing vocals), Dijg Simpson (bass), Nick Hobbis (drums and backing vocals).

17/07/2006 - New Signing

We are very happy to announce our signing to GAA Golds Artists (REM, Feeder) who will be booking all future live appointments.

 

16/07/2006 - Stuff

We've been a busy band. We made it across road and sea to play the Oxegen Festival which took place just outside Dublin, Ireland. It was really cool to play in another country despite having had about 4 minutes sleep on the tour bus.

We've also been back in a Swansea studio to record some more songs to add to the album already in the can, as usual Joe Gibb (FFAF, Janes Addiction) has been aiding and abetting in his own unique and marvellous way. The album is to be mastered at the end of this month.

 

22/06/2006 Festivals & UK Tour

Thanks to all of you sun-loving festival people sending your emails about our show at Download. Maybe we'll see some of you down the front at Oxegen in July or in some other tent-in-a-field this summer? We'll also be announcing the dates for a full UK tour very soon.

 

21/06/06: OXEGEN FESTIVAL 2006 (Dublin)

My Alamo have been asked to appear at the prestigious OXEGEN FESTIVAL 2006, the artist's and audience's ultimate music festival (apparently)!

The highest demand ever was witnessed for OXEGEN as day tickets, weekend tickets and weekend tickets with camping sold out completely in UNDER 12 hours.

So hopefully we will see the lucky souls with tickets at the "New Bands Stage", 12 noon on Sunday 9th July!

15-May: Thanks

Firstly...Thanks to Loz and Rob at Kerrang Unsigned for all your support so far (even though you got your play list wrong last week). We've been put forward for the chance to play to 7000 people, and open the Sound Station Festival.

Secondly...Thanks to everyone that requested for us to be put forward.

My Alamo

 

03-March: bonjour là!

We've been doing a lot of behind the scenes stuff lately, with this in mind we've organised a couple of shows to blow off some cob webs!

The gigs are as follows:
Mar 9 2006 @ The Actress And Bishop
And
Mar 22 @ Jug of Ale

Would be great to see you lovely people again!

My Alamo

 

21-Jan: Howdy

We've just emerged from the strobe lights and crosses of December with a brand new video which will accompany the release of '1994' (check out the audio clip online now) as a single sometime this spring (release date TBA). Clips of the short film starring us will be aired on here soon.

We've been enjoying our fist steps into myspace and you can check our page by clicking here. This is a great way for us to really connect with you blah blah blah.

You will notice that we've changed the audio clips about. We'll be doing this from time to time to give you an ever-revolving taste of the debut album and singles/b-sides.

Enjoy these until you can buy the whole thing.

Be cool

My Alamo of My Alamo fame!

 

16-Dec: Aloha Alamos

There’s a lot to tell you about so listen up/in/out.
We're really exited making a video for the track ‘1994’, which will be put out next year...Look out for teasers on-line.

25-Nov: Departure day!

Right...We now have our marching orders and are off to record our latest gritty little ditty "I'm not the enemy"...

To make this happen we will be using the distinguished, although slightly strange duo of Joe & Gethen from Mighty Atom Studios.

Smelliot put the kettle on, and go get me a Beef, Cheese and Mustard Baguette ya cont....

When we get back we'll put some sample mp3s, until then, remember to wrap up warm its getting chilly.

My Alamo.
p.s. Thanks for all your emails, we got a bit snowed under there for a bit.

 

15-Nov: We have a new site - that's news!

Other stuff we want to tell you about includes:

MORE Recording
Yep the big pointy hand will be hovering over swansea again soon - prepare to be Alamo'd ya conts. We're back in the box to record one final song for our first album.

That's it for now, we have some really major news for you, but at the moment it's a secret.

P.S. If anyone sees Mr Big will you tell him we need to see him.

Cheers, My Alamo
