Further to a call at 5.30pm on 1st July Pallas have had to cancel their performance at CRF 10 - the good news is they have a brand new record deal, the bad news is that it has to be released in September so its straight off to the studio for some solid recording sessions right through August! Hey - Thats Rock n Roll

Following weeks of speculation, Pallas are finally pleased to announce that their new vocalist is fellow Aberdonian Paul Mackie. Paul who is probably known throughout the world as one the vocalists on all of the Grand Theft Auto games, culminating in GTA Vice City’s very own fictional Scottish Rock Band “Love Fist” This band was put together to record several songs co written by Paul and various members of Rock Star Games talented staff. Paul has toured extensively regularly playing to rowdy audiences throughout the UK in venues such as Nottingham Rock City, Glasgow Barrowlands and various Carling Academies etc. Whilst playing in a small but extraordinary Blues machine called Blues Deluxe, with Colin Fraser of Pallas, it came to light that Pallas were looking for a replacement vocalist for their new album XXV and forthcoming gig commitments. Paul accepted the challenge and looks forward to playing to and meeting Pallas’ fans and promises that he will give his all to them. “ I am so happy to have been asked to join such a workhorse of intelligent and passionate music. Pallas came into my life when I went to see them on Stage with UFO and Shy when I was a lad. It is hard to believe that here and now is a chance for me to blend all the things I have learned and I guess only now, at this point in my life could I take this challenge and do it the justice that both the band and their fans deserve. I hope they take to me as I hate rotten tomatoes.” As previously announced the band are currently hard at work in the studio on their next album XXV, a thematic sequel to the bands 1985 debut studio album The Sentinel and due for release in the autumn. Whilst working on the album the band will be taking a break for a number of UK live shows to introduce Paul to their fans. The first of these shows will rightly enough be a hometown introduction at The Tunnels in Aberdeen on Friday 23rd April with support from Jo McCafferty. http://www.thetunnels.co.uk/home/ Following this the band will be playing Progeny 3 on Sunday 9th May at The Assembly in Leamington Spa along with Twelfth Night and Mick Pointer’s Recital Of The Script. http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=209670129080
