Hey folks,

Well, bad news first I guess..

Unfortunately, due to financial concerns, this year's GenConOz convention in Brisbane has been cancelled. We were looking forward to putting on the Rock Band stage there and I'm sure you were all looking forward to attending, but sometimes these things do happen.

Let's just make sure we all give them our support and pre-register for the 2011 event to ensure it goes ahead.

The good news for the week is a 3 pack of tracks by Avenged Sevenfold for all you hardcore rockers out there, including classic track "Scream" and new cut "Nightmare" from their just-released album. Get your kick pedal foot ready, as Mike Portnoy from Dream Theatre is sitting in the drum throne as a replacement for A7x drummer, The Rev, who sadly passed away last year.
