Shameless Promotional Material

This is Shameless Promotional Material.... so you can't say you weren't warned!

K-10 rocked!

Yes! The opening of K-10 rocked to the awesome tunes from BGS! With a special encore of the vocal track (with actual singing)!

We had 10 on lead (and vocals!), Kendra on the drums, Anwen on bass, Stacy on synth and Maddy on keys!

We kicked off at 10:30 (slt) with a modest crowd then watched as more and more arrived! Opening with a track for the upcoming album, we then followed with some of the familiar classics. The smoke machines started, the lights began and we were well underway. The usual mix of banter followed, along with a mix from the old album and some new and exclusive tracks!

The lights and music continued for over 2 whole hours of fun, hijinxs, atmosphere... and even music!

Some of the photos are below!

Gig Time!

Yes its just an hour til we play at the opening of K-10 (aka our new permanent home!). Rock up and join us, tickets 100L in advance, free on the door! Join us!

OPENING K-10

Yes!!! the time has finally arrived! We are back and gigging! Not just gigging but we are playing the opening of the fabulousK-10 Dance club! It all kicks off at 10:30am (slt/pst) so make sure you come rock up and join us. We have our usual magic, fantastic set up, and not just the first album, but also some brand new tracks! Then after us the fabulous JenniferLee O Djs for the rest of the night. So lets give K-10 an awesome opening by rocking it BGS Style! Hope to see you all there!

New Gig Spot!

All the great bands have to start somewhere. We still have our tour for the most sensational sims in the lace, but now, the travelling BGS have finally found a place to call home (or at least, we have found a place where we can leave things and be noisy and the owner hasn't thrown us out of yet!). We have a warehouse of our very own, at the awesome K-Ten in Tsurington. Come take a look!

Finally!

Yes!
Finally!
We HAVE done some updates!
Its been a few months of a hiatus, BUT we are back, with a whole new look, new music, but still that same great BGS you know and love!

The downloads section is FIXED (we fired the webmistress and brought in a new one who knows what she is doing), so you can download all of the awesome first album Dreams of the Unknown for free! (Who says your favourite band don't give you anything!)

So get on out there, break some G strings, party hard, and catch us at our next set of gigs!

New Stage!!

We have put a NEW Stage up at EDEN in anticipation of the upcoming rock fest.... aka BGS gig there! There are some pictures below or go check out the stage!

Do NOT adjust your monitors

REPEAT: Do NOT adjust your monitors! We HAVE updated the site Because we love you (and we finally sobered up enough to do it) We have: A) started posting again B) Updated the look of the site C) Started work on new tracks D) Almost finished revitalising the downloads section. As always comments are enabled so please let us know what you think of the new look site!

DONT WORRY!!

Don't worry - your favourite rockers were not brought up under legal charges after the after-party tales....and we haven't forgotten you!! We are lining up some more gigs for you, some special appearences - and yes the download section will soon be fixed! So keep watching this space and now real life might let us get back to what really matters- rocking out some great music! As soon as we have our tour details confirmed, we will let you know....but unconfirmed reports suggest a return to the fabulous Silver Pearl Beach!!!

After Party

After being advised by our legal department that to put up the full details of the last backstage party would probably involve legal sanctions, loss of prebookings, jail sentences and the resignation of said legal department.....the Broken G Strings would like to issue the following statement (as amended by the legal monkey).
Tales of the after-party
The Broken G Strings afterparty had so many people it broke Health and Safety was well attended. Copious amounts of, much, Some alcohol was consumed, in the process of numerous drinking games, which may explain the following actions. After the events of the last party, the instruments were carefully locked away (the band cannot afford to replace another synth or explain to the insurers why 'the drums wanted to go for a swim' a second time....)....
***** which was when Maddie a band member someone thought it would be a good idea to duct tape one of the groupies to the ceiling. They were NOT aware that this is an innapropriate use of duct tape, see earlier alcohol comment. The duct tape appeared to hold and therefore it is NOT their fault when it later gave way. The groupie only sustained some a few broken bones minor injuries when they fell onto the crowd below. The band claim to have a very good albeit drunken some fuzzy NO idea as to how the TV was thrown out of the window. There is no idea either how it landed on the cat. As for the other TV, DVD player and everything else they could find other valuable electrical items... both pirate Captains claim they were not taken by them the crew any recognisable pirate and most definitely were not sold on the black market for rum.
*** **** ***** **** ** *** **** **** ***** ***** *** ********** *** ************ ******* ****** *** *****. ***** *** **** ******** **** ***** %!£#ing ****** *** 10 **** ***** *** *** ******* over 14 ***** *** *****!! ***** *** ** ***** ** **** *** ** ************* ** *** ****** ** **** **** *** *** **** ****,((removed for legal reasons)) but maintains that being tied naked to the lampost was the ONLY legitimate option.
Kendra The drummer would like to make it clear that the actions with a certain crowd member, her wife Snowy who should not be named for legal reasons, are only illegal in many some a few select states, and that she will NOT unless they offer enough L$ be selling the video although the DVD remains to be debated. It is a point of pride with deep regret that Anwen barely remembers her actions and is being forced to must apologise for them. She has been warned is very aware that serenading loud singing, off-key, at 4am, will not get you into their bed is not always appreciated by the neighbours, and has promised it will not happen again until the next time.
****** following this **** it was felt the only fair polite thing to do would be to drink all the remaining alcohol in order that others should not be fooled. Stacy does not wants to apologise for the mess made when attempting to make cocktails, the curacao and tequila should wash out....the burn stains are not that noticeable if you close your eyes. It is not her fault she forgot you set the cocktail alight AFTER you make it, not during, and the fireball was MUCH bigger than expected. Nobody was seriously injured
The band have NO idea where the aligator came from or how it got in the swimming pool, but are now aware that there should have been some warning given. They are also very confused as they swear they stole....acquired....found a little baby monkey and would like to warn any future occupants of the room that it may still be in there.

They apologise on pain of non-payment deeply to the management and all others to whom they may of caused offence there are too many to list.

Silver Peal beach Gig Report

Despite the Lindens, the servers, lag and RL we rocked the wonderful Jazz house and sim that is SILVER PEARL BEACH! Our first gig since the debut album 'Dreams of the Unknown' released for download (to the right of the screen under downloads) drew an amazing crowd (yes we love you too :-))) With the amazing musical Maestro 10 Gumbo on Lead, the magnificent Maddi on keyboard, fantastic Kendra on drums, awesome Anwen on Bass and sensational Stacy on synth, the band kicked off with a few songs from the recent album. They followed this up with some of the new songs from the forthcoming album (oh yes 10 works hard.......its not all backstage parties and fun in the tour bus!) Next followed 2 hours of pure unadulterated ambient rock.....music to take your clothes off to...and banter between the gathered crowd and band..... the atmosphere was electric with the crowd dancing, sunbathing, enjoying the fantastic sim and hospitality of Connie, and the band proceeding to drink, laugh, and play.

Broken G String return to Silver Pearl Beach

The crowd gathered at Silver Pearl Beach this morning at 1slt. The stage was set, the band assembled, ready to play amidst the friendly heckling. With offers of rum and threats of nudity, they began to play that unique, melodic, ambient rock that is making a name for Broken G String throughout SL. The music as always, is written and performed by 10, recorded and then performed by Broken G Strings. Opening with tracks from the latest album, the crowd were in great spirits, joking with the band. Viewers were set to Midnight, the stage lit in different hues of red, yellow, green and blue, with smoke and fire flashing out at the crescendo’s of different songs. The set started with some tracks from the new album ‘Dreams of the Unknown’, (three of which you can hear right here on our blog).

As the band got into the groove, the crowd were on their feet and began to dance. The beach rocked to the Broken G Strings ambient rock music. Applause, cheers, and smiles greeted a few new tracks, and when the subject of alcohol was mentioned an even bigger party got started. The beach partied for a whole two hours, and then the audience cried for an encore.
