Well folks, the recording and mixing are over. This weekend I sent the mixes over to a very old friend of mine in the US to be mastered. We’re getting closer to making this happen! I can’t give you a firm date for release but I’m aiming at around December I think. Just in time…
Good day you lovely people! So we had an action packed weekend and no mistake. First of all we performed at the Dirty Bristow Village Fête on Saturday. Well, what a bonkers day out that was. We met some very wonderful and silly people, not entirely limited to but including: Glatze, Brumcast, Gavin Wray, Tom…
Hi everyone, haven’t posted anything useful in a while. So here’s an update on what we’re up to. Firstly, the EP is coming along nicely, if a little slowly. I’ve pretty much finished three out of the four tracks now. After I’ve finished the fourth and gone back through to check my work, I’ll be…
Spring it seems has finally sprung. As I gazed out of the window at the hailstorm, I decided to have a little practice live mixing in Ableton Live . Just made a nice up-tempo collection of dancey stuff. Nothing amazing or clever yet, just seeing what I can do with it. Need to get my…
Still working on “Fight in a Bus Stop”. I spent the week carrying the mix round with me and listening to it on everything I could find, phones, tellys, car stereos, my Zen, my work PC, through crap headphones, good headphones… everything. This is thus far without vocals as my throat has been a bit…
The Jamnesty gig in Portsmouth on the 30th April is definitely now on. We’re going to hire a minibus and road-trip. Get in touch if you want to join the party! In other news, I’ve been noodling about with an Atari ST and made this fairly repetitve demo. Going to turn it into something tasty…
Just climbed in to bed exhausted after a mammoth session on “Fight in a Bus Stop”. All the guitars are now recorded as is the bass. I’ve just thrown a very rough mix together with the synths and it’s sounding beastly. It’s a bit ‘wall of sound’ though, Phil Spector would be proud. I am…
Having started reworking ‘Fight in a Bus Stop’ I’ve had some ideas in my head that I might try out on it. I’d quite like to get more vocoder involved. I’m still going to keep the sung parts in, I might just put in some nicely vocoded backing vocals in. I don’t know yet. At…
Hello to you all. We’re going to release an EP independently but we need your help. We want to know what you want on it. You’ve heard the demos, seen the videos, been to the gigs, but which songs do you think we should record properly? I’ve decided that four songs is an acceptable length…
