Native State

Hey there !  We've been pretty quiet on here since the heights of the MSN Live Sessions final but behind the scenes we've been gigging away and we're now about to go back into the studio to finish work on our 6 track EP.

Chameleon EP should be finished by early June ready for release in July.

Watch this space as there's sure to be a launch party a-coming !!!

Cheers

We made the short list and got down to the last three, chosen by a panel of industry judges.

Although we didn't walk off with £10,000 in our back pocket, we had a great time, got some great reviews and the promotional video of the final is now being shown on msn video until the end of January 2007. Check it out here

Ruth from Native State played the Radio One Open Mic slot and went down a storm at the BreakInTheCty event on Saturday 28 October at The Bridgewater Hall.

Open Mic was hosted by Radio One's Huw Stevens.

It was filmed by Channel 4 for their S4C Music Show 'Bandit' and will be broadcast on Thursday 9 November at 9.30pm. S4C is on Sky channel 135
