Album Launch: We would just like to Thank everybody that came to our launch and helped make it the Huge success that it was!!! Being a Pretoria band we were thrilled to see how many Great fans we have in Joburg!!! DD4E had one of our best shows ever, so much so that we ended up playing a set twice the length of what we originally planned. With the crowd pumped up there just was no way that we were going to get off stage. We would also like to thank everybody at Rock Bar for all their efforts!!! This has to be one of the best, if not the Best, band venues in South Africa!!!

UJFM SA Charts: "Left Outside” has been on the UJFM SA Chart for the last 12 weeks and made it all the way to..... NO.1!!! We thank everybody that has been voting for us!!! If you want to see D-Day reach No.1, AGAIN, then SMS your request (D-DAY 4-EVER : Left Outside) to 34954 or vote on the UJFM website ( www.ujfm.co.za ).

Album in Stores: Currently you can buy our new album, "The Hand That's Dealt", at Music Moods and Phase 2 in Centurion. More retailers will be added shortly.

Elaborate Sound: We have been getting numerous mails from people who missed our acoustic set at the Blues Room. Because of this we will be doing an acoustic set as part of the Elaborate Sound Fest at Ridgeback in Centurion on Sunday 26 Oct. We will also be doing a full plugged set on Friday 24 Oct at Zeplins (this performance will also be part of the Elaborate Sound Fest).

Album Launch Date & Venue Moved: Rock Shack Centurion has temporarily closed the Live section of the venue for some forced renovations. This means that the Joburg launch for our new CD will now replace this gig until such time as Rock Shack opens again. The Joburg Launch will take place on 6 Sept 2008 at the Kick Ass new Rock Bar in Melville. For those of you who haven’t been to the Rock Bar yet you don’t know what you are Missing and what better way to find out than to attend the Launch!!! There will be LOTS of give aways and promotions (too many to mention) on the evening!!! Time to ROCK the Rock Bar!!!

UJFM SA Charts: D-Day have been climbing the UJFM SA Charts! “Left Outside” has been on the SA Top 10 Chart for the last 6 weeks and is currently at No.3 If you want to see D-Day reach No.1 then SMS your request (D-DAY 4-EVER : Left Outside) to 34954 or vote on the UJFM website ( www.ujfm.co.za ). The success of “Left Outside” on UJFM is one of the reason why we decided to do the Joburg launch first.

27/08:
Unplugged Tomorrow: Thursday night will be DD4E’s first acoustic show at the Blues Room in Sandton. Come sit back, relax and be one of the first people to see and hear D-Day in a completely new way.

26/06:
Album Launch Date & Venue Moved: Due to legal issues between the venue where the launch was to take place and local radio stations we decided to moved the launch to a new venue and date.

We are sure that all of you are just as disappointed as us but don't worry! The album will still be available in selected music shops from the beginning of July.

Since we are deep into winter now we decided a Spring launch will be a lot better! Also after rocking the Rock Shack last week we are convinced there is no better place in Pretoria to do the launch.

To get your daily dose of D-DAY you can now request the new version of Wishes (ft Jenna Phillips) on Tuks FM. Just SMS the song name and our band name to 34996!!!

Keep Rocking and Hope to see All of you at one of the many upcoming gigs!!!

Are you Ready for D-DAY?: It has been a hectic couple of months for DD4E hence the lack of updates on this site. So what have we been up to during this time? In the last couple of months we have finally finished the new album, booked a launch date for the album (Sat 28 June at Foundry Fly Lounge), had meetings with CD shops to make sure you can get your greedy little hands on the album, appointed Fate Productions as our new booking agents and rehearsed until our fingers bled.

"The Hand That's Dealt" Launch: The new recording was done at B# Studios with legendary SA producer John Paul DeStefani and features a new version of "Pieces", now called "Lost", as well as a new duet version of "Wishes" with Jenna Phillips from Scarlet Box.

Come join us for a Rocking Launch on 28 June at Foundry with lots of drink promotions. give aways (incl tattoo vouchers, DD4E & Not Sheep clothing, copies of the new CD) and much, much more!!!

"The Hand That's Dealt" CD: R100

Keep an eye on this space for an opportunity to Pre-Order a signed copy of the album for the Bargain price of R90!!!

Left Outside first official single: Left Outside will be the first official single from The Hand That's Dealt. The track will be submitted to radio stations during the course of next week. Make sure to keep an ear open and request it on your local radio station!

The current demo versions of Hello Afrika and Wishes which are currently playlisted on Tuks FM will also be replaced with the final album versions. Wishes now features the very talented Jenna Phillips of Scarlet Box.

Due to the "Easy Listening" format of some of the radio stations in Pretoria, Wishes will also be submitted to some of these stations as an acoustic alternative to our regular more Rock driven tracks.
