"Xtreme Measures" blasted through several progressive explorations and concluded with two original compositions. Sam Aliano and band followed with two magnificent sets, including songs from Sam's "emalgamation" CD.

The evening was once again a huge success.

Thanks to: Cary Opie, Sam Aliano, Joe Cool, Luke Howard, Damien Murdoch, Chris T, John Castle, Luke, Dave H, WaDE S, the D'Ambra, Luttick and Carr families, and Gary and Peter from the 3PBS "Screaming Symphony" show.

RECORDING IN OZ:

Dean once again teamed up with Marc and Fotini for an eclectic/esoteric/eccentric(?) recording session while back in Melbourne! Armed with his WARWICK FNA Jazzman, the Bassman put down some slick and groove-driven bass lines to compliment the sensual vocals of Fotini and the infectious rhythms and harmonic brilliance of Marc. Working titles such as: "In The...", "Drive Me" and "Outside" were given the Bassman treatment in Marc's great new Pro Tools studio!

BACK IN BAHRAIN:

The Bassman is back in Bahrain (safely), playing 6 nights a week @ "Digger's" nite club. The band - "SuperkatZ", have a new line-up with the welcome addition of "Choc" on Gtr and Vox!

Let's rock!
