BB has been branching out into other venues in 2008, including The Croft in Bristol, and Invention Studios in Bath. We're also putting on our own alt-acoustic nights at various venues across the region, starting off with The John Sebastian, which is an old lightship moored in Bathurst Basin - close to Louisiana, and our own local - The Barrel in Thornbury..

We're being approached by bands on tour, not necessarily the big names, but we have found some acts from across the UK, from Europe and the USA who we think are absolutely amazing. so we think we need to share these with you as well.

We've signed up with WeGotTickets, so for some of our gigs we're offering etickets online at £1 cheaper than the door prices. Buy your eticket online up to 6pm on the nght of the gig, then just turn up with your confirmation number and ID, and we'll check you on our list.

We also put on loads of gigs at The FLEECE, including our legendary SHOWCASE Nights. Go to our FLEECE page for details

Kali-Mist have enjoyed playing in a wide range of venues, and with a number of established artists such as Bad Manners, Hundred Reasons, Idlewild, Adequate 7 and Rachel Stevens.

At the '06 O'Neills Undiscovered live battle of the bands competition, Kali-Mist battled against over 700 bands, to reach the final 8 and come 2nd. The final was held at the Carling Academy in Islington, London and was hosted by Radio One Dj Colin Murrey.

The band has now recorded a new cd entitled KALI MIST, which was recorded at SKWAD HQ studios.

The cd contains 10 of their most popular tracks which always go down well at their shows.

After two weeks of recording and the sad departure of two band members, keyboard player Ga and Rez percussion,they have now released the cd and are still going strong.

So if you are to hear a little whisper in the wind that KALI-MIST are playing near you soon, do yourself a favour and just come along and join the party!

"Watching Kali Mist is like watching 10 close, highly talented, well-practised musicians having a party on stage which everyone is invited to." (Sam Birt - Glamorgan Gazette)
