We have to announce that the Mayan prediction was wrong and
that the World has survived. Not to worry, our End of the World gig
was not wasted as we kind of decided after the apocalypse failed to
appear that we liked this world anyway despite its faults. So we'll
probably carry on doing more silly musical things next year. In the
meantime enjoy these photos of our Tigers Live

Those were a couple
of fun metal gigs weren't they? Thanks to everyone who came
along and made them all the more fun.
We even got a
review of the Camden gig. And guess what? It's quite a good
one... See
Pure Rawk
Tragically, we
got stranded in Denmark for three days because of the snow
and "sort-of" Arctic conditions. Aeroplanes were literally
frozen to the ground, seas had become shark infested ice
rinks and we were cut off from human contact in a makeshift
tent on the outskirts of Copenhagen where we'd had to eat
our last pack-horse (except Roo, he had brought a
veggie-pack-horse. I tried some, it was quite nice). To save
ourselves from thirst we brewed a form of Guinness from the
condensation icicles that formed inside the tent (see photo
above).
Shortly after
dawn on the third day, Grav spotted a husky on the horizon.
After we'd tracked him down and eaten him, we found he had a
phone number on his collar of a local emergency rescue
service. So we rang them, and they picked us up.
Phew! That was
close....

year.
Sunday Dec 12th
Camden Underworld LONDON
Friday Dec 17th Gimle ROSKILDE
Both of
these gigs are going to be quite fun...
The Camden Show
is supporting Nightlord. For those of you who missed
them the first time around, they were the most awesome
thing about the UK Underground Thrash scene in the late
80s/early90s. Forget Xentrix, these guys were the real
deal and they've reformed for this exclusive one off
gig. We are honoured to be on the bill with them! So, I
guess with that kind of bill we won't get away with a
country banjo set. We'll have to do Metal Trick, drop
the keys, twin axe attack, foot on the monitor, heads
down... let's 'ave it!... well, maybe... Doors are at
6.30pm. Fracture Pattern and Crowning Glory are on
first. Sack Trick will be on at 8.30pm and Nightlord at
9.30. Tickets are £9 from Ticket Web at this link-
Ticketweb
The
Danish Show, well you know the score by now.
Every year we pop out to Gimle in Roskilde, eat some hot
dogs, play a twin drummer gig on a big stage to a few
hundred hardened Tuborg drinkers... then listen to
Slayer in the disco till the small hours of the night.
Could it get better? Probably not... Every year a couple
of folk trickle into that gig from the UK or other
Scandi countries. They have the best night out ever.
Flights are cheap (try

Roskilde and
Gimle is a
short train ride from Copenhagen airport, trains run
every hour), accommodation is cheaper (try
Rova Hostel...,
that's where we'll be staying) and there's a lovely

else has been going on? Oh yes, Robin Guy's
joined Tigertailz! We knew it would happen one day...
see
Tigertailz.co.uk for
tour dates but before that he's got a GMT tour with
Bernie Torme starting next week, see

Elena have been recording a secret project together in
LA, but I've told you now so it's not a secret

STOP PRESS....
Penguins on the Moon 9 1/2 Year Anniversary reaction goes
global!
It seems we
always underestimate the reaction of people to Sack Trick.
We didn't think anyone would notice that we'd re-issued
Penguins on the Moon for its 9 1/2 Year Anniversary really.
But it seems they have...
Firstly, the
Classic Rock Magazine Website
made Penguins on the Moon their Track of the Day and
reviewed it without us even asking. They said we were like
"Monty Python’s take on Kiss". Thanks very much Classic
Rock!
Secondly, the
only library in Antarctica (on an American base) has chosen
to stock a copy of Penguins on the Moon! Can you believe
that? People in Antarctica are listening to "We're On Our
Way Back To Live In The Snow". I can't believe it but its
true...
Then the
Montreal Antarctic Society (I didn't know there was such a
thing) wanted a copy of the album and told us they'd
reviewed it years ago as part of their
Antarctica Experienced Through Music
project. They said it was "an
entertaining and well played musical trip, with illustrated
cartoon lyrics, from a group of crazies".
Who are they calling crazy?
Now tickets are
selling fast for our only show this year. Again it seems
we've underestimated you! There's people travelling from the
UK, Finland and Sweden for the show.
Gimle Club,
Roskilde on Friday December 11th

Why not come
along too? Book yourself a cheap flight to Copenhagen, get a
train from there. You can get really cheap rooms at the
hostel (see

) just around the corner from the venue. It's a great place
to see a gig, lovely people, fancy dress, rock club till
late (the DJs already promised he'll definitely play any
requests from people who've travelled for the gig)... what
more could you want for a pre-Christmas outing?
And finally
thanks very much to everyone around the World who's already
ordered their Re-issue Penguins on the Moon CD. See
Mail Order Page

Oh, and one more
piece of news Trivia, there's a new book out by sometime
Sack Trick friend, promoter (and singer a couple of times, I
think) Robert Fields. Robert's book Minstrels, Poets and

heavily features Sack Trick/GUN guitarist Alex Dickson and
SackTrick/TANK singer Doogie White's early careers. For more

HAPPY NEW EARS
and here's a NEW GIG!
Now that our New
Years hangovers have receded (and we hope yours have too) we
thought we'd play another gig. Fancy coming along? It's on
Friday 25th of January at the Cockpit Theatre,
Gateforth Street
(Off Church Street),
London,
NW8 8EH (see
cockpittheatre.org.uk
and
multimap
for location). Tickets will be £5 available on the door. The
doors will open at 7pm, our mystery support act goes on at
about 7.45pm, then we're playing quite early at about
8.45pm. The gig will be finishing at 10pm. This means that
if anyone has to catch a last train home there's plenty of
time. The reason I mention this is that the gig is within a
quick walk of both Marylebone and Paddington train stations
while Euston, St Pancras and King's Cross are just a short
bus ride down the road, so a night out in London to see Sack
Trick could be quite possible if you live in the West,
Midlands or North of this fine Kingdom. Of course a 10pm
finish also means you can pop into the West End for late
night drinking.
The real purpose
behind this gig is that in the controlled environment of a
college theatre we can get some tracks recorded and filmed.
We're hoping to use a few for future releases, so please
wear your smartest clothes and be as noisy as you want (see
the example set by the Danish crowd above). Good quality
heckling will be required too!
We just added
some photos of our December 07 Mini European Tour- see
photos
page. And looking at them all it really does seem like we've
managed to play our instruments in more and more silly ways
over the years. This lot are even sillier than before.
In other news,
we had a bit of trouble last year with the Chat Forum,
you'll be pleased to know it's all up and running again, so
drop by to say hello and feel free to ask any questions
about Switzerland that have ever made you curious. Roo will
be happy to answer them all for you.

I'm guessing
everyone's already familiar with
You Tube? It's a website
where you can view loads of cool metal videos. It's also got
other videos there too, but they're rubbish. There's now
loads of Sack Trick and related videos up there. Have
a play around in the search bar....
Sack Trick
also have a planned tour of Sark (yes, it's another
tiny channel island) coming up in August...
More details to follow....

...PHASE 7...
The new Sack
Trick recordings have entered Phase 7. Phase 7 is a very
tricky time for any album. It's when you take a quick half
time break from the main album and consider the bonus track
(or tracks). Previously Sack Trick as had something of a
reputation for its bonus tracks and we'd like to improve on
this for the next release. Ideas are in motion, squares are
turning...
In the meantime
people are discussing what their favourite Sack Trick songs
from past albums are at the
Chat Forum
under "Something about Sack Trick". What's your favourite
Sack Trick song?
