For the Rogue Sharks fans that have purchased the 'physical' album, you have the bonus of a hidden track!!
But its not hidden at the back of the album or in between songs. It is actually at the front!! How did they do that?
Depending on your CD player, the best way to find it is to rewind from the first listed track "Door Knocking". You will hear the track playing backwards but you must stop rewinding at around minus 4:45 to catch the intro of 'In for the Kill'.

Rogue Sharks have signed to major digital distribution company AMPHEAD who will manage their online distribution world wide as well the physical distribution throughout Australasia.
The international album release date is set for September 8th!!

We will post info soon to let you know where you can purchase the new album.

It's nearly here!! Just waiting for printing and replication of the first batch of CDs so stay tuned. We'll let you know when you can buy your own copy.

Blair and the guys from Rogue Sharks congratulate Doug Thorncroft (seen here with Blair) of the WA Bon Scott Fan Club for the brilliant efforts in staging the Bon Scott Celebration Concert at the Claremont Showgrounds on Sunday 25th February 2007.
The concert was in aid of raising funds for a statute of Bon Scott to be situated in Fremantle, Bon's home town in Western Australia.

The finishing line is in sight!!
Adam at Sonamax has finished mastering the album and it sounds ****ing awesome!!
Thanks Heaps Adam!!
|
At long last the pre-masters are finished and have been sent off to Adam at Sonamax in Sydney. After Adam has applied his mastering expertise the band will then decide on the final track listing and send off the master for duplication.
Not long now!!

The boys have submitted three songs off the new album for review on the 'unearthed' website on triple j fm radio.
You can either listen directly from the site or download.
Go to the link on the left. Please feel free to add a comment for these songs.
The single 'Let Me Go' has also been included in the ArtsTas compilation album "Amplified 2006".
|
Unfortunately things have slowed up a bit. Partly due to other band commitments and some studio downtime for equipment upgrades.
But it’s all up and running again with the home stretch just around the corner.
|
The guys are just about the halfway mark in mixing songs at Mixasaurus. Dracula Bed, Cyclone Tracy, Forbidden Forest, In for the Kill and Door Knocking are completed so not long to go now!!
|
The boys have just finished recording the lead vocal tracks for the new album. After many hours in front of the microphone, Blair has cut vocals for 14 of the 15 new tracks with Steve's lead vocals featuring on the song 'Underneath'. From these songs the boys will choose the final track list for release hopefully in the next three months.
|
It's all happening in March!! Blair is flying in to meet Mick and Steve at Mixasaurus Studios to record the vocal tracks. All the drum tracks are back from Frank Basile in the U.S. so it's all go.
Mick Shelley will be at the helm and Mick and Steve will be there to lug the beer fridge up the stairs so that the boys don't run out of life-giving, throat-saving liquid refreshments.
The new songs 'Dracula Bed' (Check out poster preview), 'Warhead', 'Cyclone Tracy' and 'Shark Arm Murder' are stand out tracks and the boys will post them on the Free Songs page as soon as they have been mastered by Adam at Sonamax, Sydney.
