On a boat with Mumiy Troll

And then this happened last Tuesday. Someone it seems found a position behind the band setup and took this video of Long Time Citizen in action. And posted it on Youtube. Apparently we were ok. This was taken aboard the Barge Sedov, a Russian sailing vessel currently on a trip around the world, hosting the hugely popular Russian band Mumiy Troll. Great guys.

Tattoo Convention Pics

Flying Horse Photography has posted some shots of the Cape Town International Tattoo Convention. Nice shot of the Citizens with Willim Welsyn in the background, and also found a cool shot of our stable mates The Ratrod Cats doing the business.

LTC chats to Gary Cool

LTC featured on Gary Cool's 2 OCEAN'S VIBE radio show last week. Here is the full show as featured on his blog. Gary's own words below:
Last night’s Rock Dimension was packed with the best and latest Rock and Metal singles out. I kicked the show off with long time rockers, ‘Long Time Citizen’ who jammed on air and chatted about the
music industry and The Cape Tattoo convention where they will be playing alongside bands such as Shadow Club and PH. Fat.

Getting ready to go Up The Creek

So we've decided to do a bit of special expansion for Up The Creek. Joining Greg, Marsh and Lance will be the inimitable Willim Welsyn on guitar. Welsyn is a SAMA-nominated cat, whose band Willim Welsyn en die Sunrise Toffies have been all over the MK and stuff.
Willim previously stepped up with LTC for a few tracks at Rolling Stone South Africa's first birthday party, which also featured Arno Carstens and fellow Up The Creekers Ballistic Blues.

Long Time Citizen and guests play Up The Creek 2013 on Friday at 17:00.

An awesome shot of Greg in Green. The Donnellys of Galway would be proud.

Who's gonna bang our drums?

The Fire and Ice Hotel pool floor doesn't entertain drums well. So our regular drummer Lance Brandow (below) made do with a tambourine. Prior to that our stage was invaded by Rolling Stone South Africa's publisher Mohammed Khan, who's a bit of a closet rock n roller...
