Hi everyone,
I've been a long time browser of the forum but this is my first post, so Hi to everyone who reads it!
Just a quick post, I play in a instrumental Garage/surf/rock 'n roll band from a little seaside city called Swansea, Wales, UK.
If you have a few minutes, we filmed two videos the other day, Maybe you could have a look.
Singapore Slingers.

Thanks for checking them out in advance and I hope you guys all have a great christmas and New years.
Cheers,
Al

Cheers Al!
I played both videos back to back 3 times. What you are laying down is excellent! Welcome aboard and please post more. Dancers too, please 
PS. I've been to Cardiff several times on business (back when I was employed) and always wanted to visit Swansea. Never got the chance because the guys in Cardiff insisted on continuing negotiations over weekends. But I loved the warmth of the Welsh people I met (except for the bastards I was negotiating with), the countryside and the hospitality.

@djangodeadman- Thanks alot man, That would be great, would love to play some gigs with you guys sometime! I had a listen to the tracks! Really dig them!Drop me a PM or message me on FB if you have one.
@RobbieReverb - Cheers for the welcome Bob! I'm really glad that you like the stuff! Please keep in contact via facebook and here etc!
@Madscientist You're right, Bob is a great guy and has helped Hangmen a lot with spreading the name via his Surfking site! Thanks for the kind words.
@Bobwalk cheers Bob! you rule!
@ Stokemon- Ah man, Thank-you so much, I'm really stoked you played both of the videos 3 times back to back! I will definitely post more, I think we're hoping to do a few live shows with the dancers, so hopefully I can post some videos of that when it happens! If you PM your email address I could send you a couple of tracks over if you wanted! No way! Small world! Shame you didn't manage to get down to Swansea, In my opinion the Gower has some of the best beaches in the UK! If you're ever over in these parts again, Look me up!
Thanks again to everyone who's watched the videos or watched the songs super cool of you guys.
Al
