Hi, welcome back to another Tuesday and my Behind the Strays.

Friday 13th of February and tonight we are playing Metal to the Masses at the Underground in Stoke on Trent.

Load in is 16.00 and so we figured we…

Well its been a little while, but I’m back with my legendary ramble’s, blogs and behind the scenes of all things Wild Strays. Well from my viewpoint anyway, but alas.. lets do this.   

A new year and new beginnings along…

Hey, welcome back to another KT Tuesday. 

Last Tuesday I had no internet after moving to my new house in Birmingham... 
Yay.. I’m back in Birmingham. 

To be honest, I have lived in lots of places across the UK and…

Hey and welcome to another KT Tuesday.

Hey and welcome back to a "KT Tuesday" blog.

But honestly, it's great to be back and already there has been plenty of adventures, laughs and new memories made.  

I could write a whole blog…

Hey and welcome to another KT Tuesday.  

It’s been a busy few weeks for us all, I was only talking to Tanya while driving her home on the Sunday morning about how crazy it is that our next gig…

A Wild Strays Special.  

We were very lucky to be featured in the Christmas edition of the new and rapidly growing WildSpiritz Rising Magazine.

Wild Winter Part 1 of 3. 

Three back to back gigs leading up to Christmas and the first one kicks off with a revisited trip to the one and only Giffard in Wolverhampton.  

My alarm woke me at…

*sneaks through the door quietly* 
Hey shush it’s a KT Tuesday and I kinda haven’t done my homework... :)  

I think this could be a little thin on the ground.  
Basically since the last few gigs and rehearsals, we…

Welcome to another KT Tuesday and today had the all the hallmarks of being an epic day.  

We also had Spice back for this gig which meant we are back to full strength. 

We have had this particular…

A new dawn.  

Welcome back to another KT Tuesday and today we take a look back at last Saturday’s gig.  

Two big things were happening.

2. Our new…

We are finally here, 

The Flashback Series has now caught up with all the blogs on the website and what better finale for the series to finish than with the crescendo of the gig of all gigs. The Wild…

Hey welcome to another Flashback series.  

We pick up from the last episode, now with the first gig of 2018 and..Spice’s Début gig.  

As you may remember from a previous Flashback episode we landed this gig from playing back in November 2017 at a new venue in Birmingham called “Get The Fear”  
Our promoter Adam Ward had booked us again after our Début show with him at this venue a few weeks before.  

But this time we were on the bill with a band called Terrorsaurs and of course other bands.. But we had not met Terrorsaurs until this time. We opened up the night, played our set and finished the show the Wild Strays way. Then we took our gear off the stage to then enjoy the rest of the night.   

Ian the bass player and main driving force behind this band approached me after seeing our show.  

He said, Hey, KT, I really loved your set. He continued to say there is no way you guys are a 7pm band and asked me if we would we be interested in supporting them on their last show in the UK before they headed off to tour America.  

Well of course I bit his hand off and said we would love too.  
He said, great. I thought you had a great sound and stage presence and yeah.. I’ll send you the details of dates and a venue location.  

I shook his hand and pretty much ran straight over to the other members to tell them the news.  
(For the full story of this night, please head back to Flashback Part 3)  

Skip forward to the 7th of April and here we are. 

 A new drummer and the new line up for the Wild Strays is here.  

In the afternoon we headed to the studio for a quick warm up and I remember the mood was full of excitement to get onto the stage.

We knew we had grown in strength over the last three to four months with Spice being in the band. I even remember someone coming up with the crazy idea of turning all the lights off in the practice studio and just having the torches on our phones...so we could practice in pretty much complete darkness to get used to playing in the dark.

It was good fun and after a quick rehearsal we headed off to the venue.  

I used to work not far from this pub called the Wagon and Horses in Digbeth, Birmingham. So I knew the parking well and all the streets surrounding the venue.  

However when we pulled up, and there were people everywhere. This Picture below doesn’t really do it justice but it was really busy, in the pub and outside.  

Now we knew this was Terrorsaurs last gig in the UK before heading off to America.  
But we were not expecting such a massive turn out.  

There is a real beating heart in the Wild Strays.  

The clocks go back.  
Maybe it’s time to look back.  

I was going to do another Flashback series tonight... I do really enjoy doing them. The last one…
