Woa-ha it's been a VERY long time since we populated this little blog with some Worm news - apologies for that! And do not fear - all has NOT been quiet on the Western front - we have been busy Worms. Check out what we've been up to:

Getting Funky with Kathy Raven

Kathy Raven and Can of Worms - anniversary gig 2016

We've been quiet on line for a few weeks while the worms all beaver away at getting the much anticipated first album completed in the studio. Last weekend saw us pop up to celebrate our one year "Gig-iversary"- that's right! 12 months since our first ever gig! We marked the occasion in style at a private event hosted at Tea in the Trees in Chintsa, which also celebrated April (our woodwind maestro) and and her husband Johnny's first wedding anniversary.

Can of Worms Pre-Selected for SA Indies Music Week 2015

On Friday 30th October Can of Worms joined the Independent Music Exporters of South Africa team at auditions in the Eastern Cape Audio Visual Centre (ECAVC) in East London. The auditions give unsigned bands and artists the opportunity to present their music to the IMEXSA who in turn hand-select a number of artists to take part in music and industry workshops in Johannesburg over SA Indies Music Week from 16-20th December. At the end of the week the IMEXSA team, along with international representatives from music events and festivals, will again choose their favourite artists who are guaranteed to play in an international event in 2016.

On Sat 31st October Can of Worms hit the studio at Legends Contemporary Schools of Music in East London, with sound guru Gary Ndlovu to lay down a radio and release friendly version of our first track Mother Earth.

You can read about the recording session on our previous blog "Recording of Mother Earth".

Credits go to Thomas Sokolich for mixing and Gary Ndlovu for mastering. The team worked hard to meet our deadlines and their support and creativity is hugely appreciated by the Worms - thanks guys :)
