THE CHAMBER SHOW!
It is official! The Chamber show has been booked and ready to go, keep your diaries open! The Chamber Show will be happening on the 21st of July 2007 at ZANZIBAR, PRETORIA! The Line up is SWARTSKAAP, D-DAY 4-EVER and SCARLETBOX. We promise to make it a spectacular evening filled with lots of free promotional stuff. We are also planning to launch out first Music Video that night.

SWARTSKAAP
The guys from SWARTSKAAP are currently finishing up with their own personal recording studio, and a independent full album should be ready long before December 2007. As you now Swart.Wit.Grond EP is currently available to be bought from the Band (Fritz 0723890465).

DD4E @ STRAB FESTIVAL
Leon tagged along with D-Day to Mozambique for the STRAB festival. Apart from the distance, cold, getting stuck in sand, border patrol and pink rum, it was a great festival! Leon will definitely be going again next year since SWARTSKAAP might be playing there.

SIX CHAMBERS PRODUCTIONS
Six Chambers is now expanding its wings and will be doing video production as well. Charl Louw & Dirk Boshoff has joined the Six Chambers community to make this possible. They are two of South Africa’s best technical / commercial photographers and together with Leon, they will form the video team. We are starting off with a music video which will be filmed in exactly one month’s time from now.
