i just posted some shows we have coming up before we head to europe. http://stoneaxeband.com/calendar.html there will be more to come.
we've been bashing our brains out working on these songs for the FREE tribute set we are doing in london. Free were a badass band and are the platform and blueprint for the stone axe sound. this has been a challenge for us and there is a lot of work to be done. we will probably do a FREE gig here in the states as a warm up for the UK set.
in stone axe II re-issue news: i am done with the sequencing and mastering of disc 2. it is about 64 minutes and includes everything that has been only on vinyl up to this point. including the three songs that are being released on the split 12" with wight coming out soon. there are 15 tracks total and once again there will be liner notes by JJ Koczan from the obelisk.

I've been very busy here at HeavyHead recording. Along with finishing up the Stone Axe songs for the split with Wight, I have been compiling disc 2 of the SAII deluxe edition 2 cd set. Disc one will have the original album and 4 bonus tracks including 3 songs from the Beat Club sessions and the video version of Chasing Dragons which has mike on bass and is actually the only studio recording to feature the entire live band on the same song. Disc 2 will be all of the music we have released on vinyl only, including the songs from the 12" split with Wight. Also included will be a few studio outtakes. This will be released on Ripple Music sometime around Feb./March 2012 just in time for our UK/European tour in April.
In other STONE AXE related news the first MOS GENERATOR record recorded in 2001 is slated for a deluxe release in November. I got the test pressing of the LP and it sounds killer! The re-issue will be released on Ripple Music and will be a deluxe set including a LP/CD/Digital down load with 2 hours of bonus tracks here the rundown from Ripple. http://us1.campaign-archive2.com/?u=c35d849247b42a2a6bac7b710&id=e3f45f6d2f&e=273e9d2a89
