The album is now available on presale from our merch store

Any albums bought on presale will be posted out free of charge - and will be posted the Thursday before the launch - so you will get to have a listen early :)

Linky no worky!! 

hmm, how very odd :|

if you copy and paste the link into the browser bar it works :S

it is definitely the right address though haha.

Its because of the font tags that seem to be stuck at the end of the URL.

Should work. Or as you said, copy and paste.

Gazza to the rescue with his technology skills once again!!

You can now download our new single 'Your Own Mistake' for free from www.orestea.com

the new video is up too :) Tour dates will be up at the weekend :)

 
Hope to see some of you out there!
 
Heres the facebook event page for the tour: http://www.facebook.com/oresteaband?ref=ts#!/event.php?eid=197292980294571

Thought I'd pop a link to this on here because I saw a lot of boardies out on tour :)

Part 1 of our Tour Diary :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MYyc6Tu2UI
 
parts 2 and 3 will be up soon :) keep an eye on our facebook page (www.facebook.com/oresteaband) if you want to catch it.

We are going to be doing a Live Video Chat tomorrow night at 8PM to give people a chance to ask us some questions. 

If you go to http://bambuser.com/channel/Orestea and sign up - then you will be able to chat with us during the live broadcast and ask any questions that you have about the band (or just general questions...can't promise we will know all the answers though!) 

Even if you don't want to sign up - you can still watch the broadcast live. You just wont be able to chat with us during the stream. 

(lets be honest....signing up and chatting with us is going to be WAY more fun for everyone :P) 

If you aren't going to be around at the time of the broadcast, but have burning questions for us then leave a comment on the event page below and we will answer them during the session (which will be available to stream at a later date :))

You guys are playing my home town (eeek!!!) will come and introduce myself. Look forward to it!!!

Awesome! Where are you from?

 I sort of forgot about this thread. May as well slap the tour poster in here:

 

Also, we made a music video for our new single 'Ruthless' : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPpCmbZtO7M 

aaaand we have new shirts/vests for tour :D (http://orestea.bigcartel.com

 
(disclaimer: this dude didn't agree to having the shirt design photo shopped onto him. Our design guy found this picture online and edited the original shirt design out.....apparently it said "Thug Life" on the front ha!)

exciting times! 

Taunton.
It's not often we get a stellar line-up down these parts - I saw Sondura supporting Malefice, Panic Cell & 3 Inches of Blood, so really looking forward to them.

We are extremely pleased to announce that the newest member of the Orestea family is Jack Slade!
 
Jack has most famously played with the bands Symphony Cult (UK) & Dangerous New Machine (USA).
 
He has toured with Sevendust, Kittie, Inme, Breed 77, Fozzy, Katatonia & has performed on the second stage at Download Festival as well as a number of European festivals.
 
His biggest drumming influences are Morgan Rose (Sevendust), Matt Halpern (Periphery), Steve Judd (Karnivool), Jose Pasillas (Incubus) and Ray Luzier.
 
Jack is endorsed by Paiste (cymbals), Vater (drum sticks) and Evans (heads).
 
He also loves sushi.
 
Jack says “"I am very glad to be a part of the Orestea fam! Let's make some noise, eh? It's clobberin' time!"
 
Jack will be playing his first shows with Orestea early in 2012! We are very excited to have him on board!

‎!!!! SALE TIME !!!!

We are having a Christmas clear out to prepare for some new merchandise in 2012!

50% off EVERYTHING in our webstore until the end of the year! Bargain!

http://orestea.bigcartel.com/
 
a lot of stuff has sold out since the sale started - but I have put little warning notes next to the sizes that we are running low on :)
 

We are in the running for the Red Bull Bedroom Jam competition.

It would be really nice if you voted for us.

In short:
- you can vote ONCE a day
- leaving comments on the band's profile also counts towards the 'Buzz Chart' thing
- if we are in the top 100 by April 26th then it goes to the 'judges' and they chose 15 bands to go through.

Thanks guys :)
