Happy New Year

It's a Happy New Year from all of us in The 286! And what a year it was!

2011 - the year that was!



Last year was an amazing year for us. First of all we recorded and released our debut EP 'A Victory For Battalion 286'. We are really pleased with the results and dead chuffed with the promotional video filmed for Hello. If you still haven't bought the album you can buy it directly from Mile High Music for an ridiculously cheap £2.49. Click on this link to hear the songs and buy the EP http://the286.bandcamp.com/



We also set up our own live music night, in partnership with the Bonjour Mosquitos DJs, Terry and Mickey. The aim of the night is to get some great bands together, keep the door entry down to a minimum (at the moment it's FREE ENTRY!) and basically recreate a party atmosphere in a live music scenario. The first night, at The New Cross Inn in SE London went down a storm. Ably supported by The Wild Hunt, The Greater Good and The Fruitful Earth, we put on a great show, which included a snow machine and Christmas decorations!! I've been down to the New Cross Inn quite a few times and I can't remember it being that busy for a long time. Pictures from the night can be found on our facebook page (www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150504403414553.419466.244161049552&type=1)

What's New In 2012?

We're hoping that 2012 has even more to offer than 2011. We'll be posting more information on future gig nights very shortly, plus we'll be back in the studio looking to work on our next release. Expect to see a 286 website on the horizon shortly, plus some new songs at future gigs and some more promotional videos.

For now that's it from us - see you all soon
