Remember the Night of 1000 Drawings? Well, whether you were there on the night or not, here’s some exciting news. The Legion graphic gurus have compiled all of the pro photography for the event - mailers, promos, Paballo outreach stuff, and (most importantly) a selection of the artworks - into a gorgeous 58-page coffee-table book.

It’s going for 100 bucks and of course the money raised goes directly to Paballo’s outreach initiative. To get your hands on a copy, contact David at 1000drawings@gmail.com or give him a ring on 082-600-0011.

Trust seems to be a forgotten word these days. Or maybe not forgotten, but perhaps the power of the principle has been lost in the wake of the all-conquering trust demolisher: Scandal. We see so much of it in our daily news. Politics (Armsgate), Business (Fidentia), Sport (Bob. Sadly missed).

I was fortunate enough to crack an invite to Tree63’s pre-tour press concert on Thursday night. It’s not often that you get to enjoy a band of this calibre in an intimate setting like the Blues Room. It was a magical evening and I’m stoked to report that this is good ol’ Tree, all the way. These guys haven’t changed their formula a bit, and it still makes for a spectacular show. Go and see them - I guarantee you won’t be sorry!

Oh, and keep an eye out for issue #4 of Press On mag, which will include an exclusive interview with the band.
