21/12/09 Firstly, a huge thank you to every last one of you who came to either the Leeds & London G Fest gigs, we had a really good time at both shows. Cheers especially to Dave Vendemmian, who put in a shed load of work to make it all possible, especially in London. Thanks also to Luxury Stranger, Rhombus and the whole of Vendemmian, who all put in a lot of work to make a success of the weekend and all put on great performances. As a nice extra, we got some good quality footage and audio from the London leg, which may surface at some point in the near future. 2009 has been a very good year for Legion. The belief that so many people have showed has been astounding and touching, thank you all for your support. There are a great many specific people who we owe a great debt of gratitude to. As those of you at G Fest will know, we handed out some previews of our newly recorded material - which is going to be pressed up nice in a nice and shiny package for all those that want it (possibly some new T shirts as well). We wish you all a very happy 2010, keep the faith.
Maisey, Natasha, Shelley & Tim.
A few places have already mentioned this news, but I'd like to just confirm that G-Fest was my last gig with Legion,and I have stepped down from playing bass guitar. There is no sinister conspiracy at work here, it's simply that between my full-time job and full-time degree, I simply don't have the time for Legion that they really need, especially now they're going from strength to strength. Rob has graciously allowed me to keep involved through the website and you'll see me at plenty more gigs - details of which will be coming up on the live page.
Thanks for all the good times. Let there be many more!

23/08/09 Greetings all We've uploaded some "bootleg" video footage from our recent concert in London supporting Rhombus and The Eden House, at our MySpace. The song is called Hereafter and will be available on the new CD planned for release towards the end of September. The footage was shot by DJ Pyromancer. More videos from the same, and from previous concerts, can be found at Youtube The band have recently gone back into the studio and are working on selection of new songs that we plan on releasing to the world on the aforementioned CD. In related news, we're currently in the process of setting up a webshop, which will be going online in time for the release of the, as yet untitled, forthcoming CD. Copies of our demo EP "Veiled In Mist" and the new "Smoke Machines, Drum Machines, Amphetamines" T Shirt have been selling well at concerts and will on sale online alongside the new CD. We're appearing live in concert over much of the north of England this Autumn, with several dates already announced. We also have plans for a return to London, alongside a very exciting lineup of other top class bands, more information on that excursion TBA. Regards

10/07/09 Exciting news on our upcoming London gig! So, you want to come and see LEGION play London? How about seeing us for two pounds cheaper? Fancy helping the band out along the way? If these sound like good choices, you'll want to save and print-out a copy of the flyer below, which will get you in for less, and get LEGION more! So, now you've got that extra two pounds, you won't mind standing the bassist a drink at the bar, right?
Update - Could we save you anymore money? We can damn well try. LEGION Management has a limited amount of advance-booking tickets available. Interested parties should contact Chairman Wisdom very quickly!

09/06/09 LEGION have been spectacularly busy, and have neglected to keep this website updated. For that, I can only apologise profusely and assure you that we will soon have some fantastic news to share with you. In the meantime, we'd like to thank Phono Paul of Friday Flock for organising the night, and Grooving in Green for playing it with us. An excellent time was had by all, and the feedback from you was both positive and informative. Ahead of a major overhaul, below you can see LEGION emerging from the mists of 1984 once again...

15/04/09 LEGION would like you to welcome to our operational line-up Natalya, our new Attack Guitarist. She has received a baptism of fire, playing back-to-back gigs in Wolverhampton and Leeds this past weekend - and excelled! In unhappier news, our gig with MAV at Misery of Sound has unfortunately been cancelled. We look forward to our next opportunity to play Blackpool in the future. Your next opportunity to see LEGION - or what emerges from the smoke - will be on May 2nd, supporting Inkubus Sukkubus. Note that the venue has been changed to - The White Rock Bar, at the Sheffield Ski Village. For addresses and maps, visit our LIVE schedule. Dress up warm and come see LEGION bring down avalanches of sound!

13/04/09 Legion would like to thank everyone that came to see us this weekend, both at The Giffard Arms in Wolverhampton and at Beyond The Veil in Leeds. We had two cracking nights and are still feeling great. Special thanks to WildBillButtock and Lisa for putting us on at the Dark Room, Vendemmian + crew for being a smashing band and smashing folks. Another big thank you to Trish, Rog and Dom at BTV - it was a fantastic festival and we'd encourage everyone to try and get to any future BTV events. Most of all, a huge thanks to everyone that came along to either gig! As for the future... We recently started laying down some of our tracks and hope to have an EP released within the next few months. Its been hard work getting to this stage, but it's finally looking like our first release is within reach. The band will continue to play live, as often as we possibly can, for the forseeable future: The beginning has just started.

12/02/09 Firstly, LEGION would like to thank everyone who came to the Bad Moon Rising gig in Bradford, on Saturday 7th. It was a privilege to support Lesbian Bed Death, and we look forward to the next opportunity! Special thanks go to Howard of BMR and Pyromancer Jack of the Inkiebus. Secondly, LEGION would like to apologise for their unintentional absence at the Primrose gig last night - 11th February. The current line-up of LEGION is changing, and Matthew Syberberg will be returning to his own project, The Hated Reign. We wish him well, and thank him deeply for his time with us - new troops are being mobilised to the front lines even now. Watch this space for more news.
