The venue had four cancelled bands on Saturday the 30th, yet Hush came alive at night when Mynas took to the stage.

Special Guest At Blah Bar Gig Dec 2010
Joining Mynas on stage at Blah Bar on the 20th will be re-known local saxophonist, Katie Needham. She we help recreate the seldom-heard Much Talk Behind My Back. Practically labelled Latin 2 by the band, this track relies heavily on Katie's meandering sax over the instrumental section, as well as the extra pace and atmosphere she adds to the final chorus.
MFEST Battle Of The Acts PostponedDec 2010
Unfortunately the weather conditions meant Heat 2, including Mynas, had to be postponed until the 26th January 2011. New songs will have been added to the repetoire by then. If popular, they may be the ones to take Mynas to the next stage!

MYNAS RAPTUROUS RETURN TO BARNSLEY Nov 2010
Having toured Leeds, Castleford, Doncaster and Sheffield since their album launch, Mynas returned to their local haunt, Lucorum in Barnsley. The crowd lifted the band and the band reciprocated, generating the best atmosphere for Mynas since the album launch. Hopefully, a taste of what's to come.
A fan said "I got the album at the launch gig and it's great to hear my favourite tracks live and be able to sing along.... ....It felt like being at a famous band's gig, you know what I mean?"
Mynas would like to thank everyone at the gig, without naming names for fear of missing many others, all of whom made the night so special. Despite the next Barnsley gig being cancelled, Mynas will return this year.

NEW SONGS COMING SOON Oct 2010
The good news for fans of the debut album is the promise of more new material in the near future. Along with a few fan's favourites already in the live set, three new songs are at various stages of rehearsal with many more already on paper from the pen of Miller. Mynas will be back in the studio soon after completing their current promotional tour. Join our mailing list or Facebook page to be kept up to date with all our gigs and future releases in 2011.

ALBUM LAUNCH GIG Sep 2010
Many thanks to the large crowd, who made the atmosphere at our album launch the best of all our gigs so far. The band performed two sets of seven songs, including three songs not on the first album, one of which had never been heard live before. The appreciative audience demanded encores, where "Retreat" was accompanied by a more impassioned performance of the new song, "Dent". It's safe to presume there would have been more to please the demanding crowd if Mynas had not already treated them to their entire repetoire.
