The Big Announcement!

Well well, it would appear Timshel is entering into a new chapter. All names have been omitted in the following recap: When we formed in march 2003 as Screaming Tricks we were a 5-piece. We became Timshel in around September 2004 as a 4-piece. In June 2008 we split, reforming with new drummer and additional guitarist in around October 2008 under the name Sola. Then, going back to a 4-piece in Feb 2009 we re-took the name Timshel. Then we lost that drummer and found a replacement in about July 2009, then our original drummer rejoined in around September 2009. Now our bassist is swapping 4 strings for 6 to become an additional guitarist, paving the way for our new bassist to make his entrance. Makes us sound like Spinal bloody Tapp doesn't it?

So, Timshel is a 5-piece once more! Paul is rocking us on rhythm with his new Epiphone Dot and Fender Mustang. The new man is Adam Hill. Now I've known Adam for donkies! He is a man of many talents including, as well as bass, trombone, sound production, orchestration and arrangement, composition and a frankly intimidating consumption of Coke Zero. We're chuffed as nuts to have Adam on board, it's a bit like Jet Li joining a junior school judo team.

We kick off this new era with our Hobbit Bank Holiday show. Timshel will perform their last set with the old line-up giving a 45 minute Zep set. It was a one-off new year treat back in 2007/08, then reprised for the same occasion 2009/2010,now for the last time this August. The last time because you can't do Zep as a 5! Don't worry though, it kinda paves the way for that long awaited Pearl Jam tribute night doesn't it? 

Anyway, once we've done all the favourite Zep classics, Adam will swagger on and blow your puny minds with his rock gurning and a bass hung so low it will be practically scraping the floor!  

There it is folks, the latest instalment of the Timshel Saga. Truly hope you enjoy the new band.
