WARRNAMBOOL rock band Ginjan is looking forward to a big 2004, which it will kick-start with a gig at the Criterion Hotel tomorrow night. The band, which released its debut album Off With My Head last year, is working on a series of film clips it hopes to finish soon to further promote the record. Lead singer and bass player Nick How said the group had been adding a stack of covers to its set list of original songs to find more gigs around the area. “(Guitarist) Darren (Ely) and myself have been doing solo work lately as a way of funding the whole original music thing,” How said. “We’re having to compromise and play a few more covers to get more regular work,” he said, listing Iron Maiden, The Angels and Foo Fighters as some of the bands whose songs they’ve covered. “It’s a matter of making sure we keep in sight the main goal and that is we need to get out and do more gigs.” Ginjan will head to Portland and possibly Shepparton in the coming weeks to perform, but the big aim is to do a Melbourne launch for Off With My Head, where the film clips will hopefully be screened. A video for Try Rockin’ In Nepal, which features the band playing on a ski slope wearing nothing but the instruments, and one for Play With The Weather are almost finished. There are also plans afoot to turn Show Me The Money and Reality TV into film clips, as well as to record some new songs later in the year. Bodyjar marks its nomination
