wow, this one sounds so 'western'
rock n roll man
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:15am
Matt from Springfield:

I know, this one sounds like Brit/Aus rock!

"One of the country's most durable rock bands is Bedrock (The Band In The Sand). Formed in 1994 in Oranjemund, the band has released four albums of original material over the years: Recovery (2001), So, Where's The Party? (2003), Simplicity (2008) and Desert Rock (2010). They describe their sound as Desert Rock, an eclectic mix of styles from 70's rock, blues, pop and folk. A feature of their compositions is the subtle thread of humour which underpins most of their work. The opening song of their debut album, Rock 'n' Roll, was voted by the South African Rock Digest as one of the Top 30 South African songs of 2003. It was also their first song to gain radio play. Despite numerous personnel changes over the years the band continues to thrive, playing regular gigs in and around Oranjemund."

the lancaster band poster is 240 x 410. Not too big, not too small. If most other images are roughly the same aspect ration, that could be your norm. just add
