Well now!
It's that time again! Today we're embarking on some live dates across this sceptered isle with the awesome Hildamay in tow. Here's the full rundown of the dates... Feb 6, 2012 - Newcastle, (UK) @ The Cluny EVENT http://www.facebook.com/ Feb 7, 2012 - Leeds, (UK) @ The Cockpit EVENT http://www.facebook.com/ Feb 8, 2012 - Birmingham, (UK) @ The End @ The Ballroom EVENT http://www.facebook.com/ Feb 9, 2012 - London, (UK) @ The Barfly EVENT http://www.facebook.com/ Feb 10, 2012 - Southampton, (UK) @ The Joiners EVENT http://www.facebook.com/ Feb 11, 2012 - Nottingham, (UK) @ Rock City TICKETS https:// Feb 12, 2012 - Norwich, (UK) @ Waterfront Studio EVENT http://www.facebook.com/ Ticket link : http:// At the London show, there are rumours of a cool afterparty, keep up with us on Twitter and Facebook to get the deets. You can find my Twitter HERE and Laila's Twitter HERE. Also, there are some big, very candid questions about where the Boom is going with our recent music, outlook and activity answered on my Tumblr blog. Give it a read if you are curious HERE .  As you read this, I'm in a freezing cold van making my way to Newcastle and there's nowhere else I'd rather be! Until The Sunlight Comes Barney x FREE SONIC BOOM SIX MUSIC FOR ALL! What's The Catch?! And Another Competition...
Hey you guys!
First things first, welcome to all the new members of the mailing list we've had over the last few weeks! Having a few competitions has really brought you guys in... good to have you aboard. Secondly, thanks to everyone who came to the show on Thursday night in Manchester. We played a lot of new material and everyone seemed to be suitably digging it and we were stoked with the response. Thank you to all at Sound Control especially Ben Taylor as well as Tonn Piper and James Kennedy. And big up to Raich Hype Photography for this keeper...  Right, onto the free stuff! Over the past week or so there has been a lot of debate raging about the SOPA issue (the US government's initiative to use the law to stamp out internet activity they deem unsuitable) not least on my Twitter. Whereas this forum probably isn't the place to get down and dirty with my opinions on the matter, let's just say that my viewpoint of it was a little less anti-SOPA than a lot of people might have expected. While I was brought round in terms of the greater issue after listening to you guys, I still feel that internet file-sharing is ultimately damaging TV, films and music. A few people took that to mean I was completely against copying and sharing music and pointed out that without copied music they would have never discovered Sonic Boom Six. Then, they argued, we've come to gigs and seen you and bought your t-shirts and all is well with the world. I agreed this was a good point! So, in an effort not to be considered the Lars Ulrich of the UK rock scene, I'm going to put my money where my mouth is and give away our awesome acoustic Babyboom EP to every subscriber to this mailing list. The link to join the mailing list is HERE! Hope you guys enjoy the record as much as we enjoyed making it (in a barn, but that's another story). So, where's the catch!? Well, there is none, but all I'm going to do is draw upon the words that have been bouncing at me after I grumbled about all the piracy of Sonic Boom Six records that goes on on sites like Megaupload. People have been saying that getting free music makes you more likely to come to a gig so now seems as good a time as any to point out that we have a few gigs lined up in the near future if you hadn't noticed... :) This brings us to the London Show on February 9th. After all your support (thank you!) at the last London show we've now got a few very interested parties talking with us about new record and this is going to be the show that is really going to be the exclamation point in making it happen. We hate having to ask you guys to go that extra mile for us (as you did at the last show) but a full room of you guys going mental will make all the difference. If you can come, please do, a sell-out in advance will look great for us. If the Babyboom EP sounds good and it gets across how important these dates and this show is then hopefully you'll consider coming to the gig. We truly appreciate it. What's more, support is coming from the awesome Hildamay and Wonder Villians so this is a must-attend event. Get your tickets HERE ladies and gentlemen!  But that's not all. Right now it's worth noting now that the show in Leeds has been moved up to the Cockpit 2 so thank you guys, let's keep those ticket purchases coming! And, straight from the Facebook of Jagermeister with another awesome competition... "Want to see Sonic Boom Six with VIP tickets? You and three friends could win tickets for the show at The Birmingham Ballroom on 8th February with your own VIP area, a tour of backstage to see what really happens behind the scenes at a gig and some cool Jägermeister merchandise." You can enter the competition right now HERE. Here's the full rundown of the dates... Feb 6, 2012 - Newcastle, (UK) @ The Cluny EVENT http://www.facebook.com/ Feb 7, 2012 - Leeds, (UK) @ The Cockpit EVENT http://www.facebook.com/ Feb 8, 2012 - Birmingham, (UK) @ The End @ The Ballroom EVENT http://www.facebook.com/ Feb 9, 2012 - London, (UK) @ The Barfly EVENT http://www.facebook.com/ Feb 10, 2012 - Southampton, (UK) @ The Joiners EVENT http://www.facebook.com/ Feb 11, 2012 - Nottingham, (UK) @ Rock City TICKETS https:// Feb 12, 2012 - Norwich, (UK) @ Waterfront Studio EVENT http://www.facebook.com/ Ticket link : http:// Rightio, that's that for now.

Hey guys
Just a quick one today but there's some significant things happening that bear repeating. First things first, Jagermeister UK are running a competition on their Facebook page to win Boom tickets. SB6 are playing the Music Week 'Breakout' gig on Wed 11th Jan at Proud Galleries, Camden, London and they have got 4 pairs of tickets to give away. Click HERE to check out their Facebook page for the comp... and here's a picture of some Jagermeister skateboards, just because they're awesome.  Remember, even if you aren't lucky enough to be the winners, we have 50 tickets in stock and you can buy the tickets direct from us AND AVOID BOOKING FEE COMPLETELY. That's just £6 a ticket. Click HERE to grab a ticket and we will leave one on the door for you.  Next on the menu, thanks to you guys, we have managed to add a gig in Newcastle to make up for the debacle of the Sunderland show last tour. The show is at The Cluney on February 6th (apparently, it's gonna be awesomely intimate and sweaty... yay!) and the Facebook event is HERE. This is how those dates are looking right now... Jan 11, 2012 - London, (UK) @ Proud Galleries - BREAKOUT in association with MUSIC WEEK Feb 6, 2012 - Newcastle, (UK) @ Cluny - February 2012 Tour w/ Hildamay Feb 7, 2012 - Leeds, (UK) @ The Cockpit - February 2012 Tour w/ Hildamay Feb 8, 2012 - Birmingham, (UK) @ The End @ The Ballroom - February 2012 Tour w/ Hildamay Feb 9, 2012 - London, (UK) @ The Barfly - HMV Next Big Thing with Sonic Boom Six + Hildamay & Wonder Villains Feb 10, 2012 - Southampton, (UK) @ The Joiners - February 2012 Tour w/ Hildamay Feb 11, 2012 - Nottingham, (UK) @ Rock City - February 2012 Tour w/ Hildamay Feb 12, 2012 - Norwich, (UK) @ Waterfront Studio - February 2012 Tour w/ Hildamay Finally, I've moved my blog from the old blogspot jobby to a fresh new Tumblr. I've got a good bag of questions to get through but I always welcome more. I've just written a big old blog on the gear used on the new album and my thoughts on bass-playing and I'm definitely going to be on it with this blog because there's lots of pretty pictures flying about Tumblr-land to keep my attention. Also, I'll be re-blogging media, videos, articles and the most interesting Boom-stuff you send me so it promises to be a lot of fun. Come and follow my Tumblr HERE.  Alrighty then! Until The Sunlight Comes... Barney x
