Hello all,
Things have been a little quite on the whole music blog thing the last few months due to various external factors but things now seem to be back on track. Quite a few things happening, I have seen next to no live music over the last few weeks. I caught the last 10 mins of the Indelicates on Friday night, saw Black Daniel the Sat before but both times I was pretty destroyed. I also watched the xfactor once. I will never do that again, I just wanted to see if I was wrong, or may be I wanted to be able to understand what the people at work were talking about, I wasn't wrong.
Anyway, Wayne, Jimmy 2 Shoes, Ciaran and I have been working for several months on a new project, Mayumi Carrex. We are going to perform live with it for the first time, we have 7 completed songs, mostly written by Wayne Rhesus. Jimmys voice is totally different to mine, I am playing bass and not singing at all on this. They are the kind of words that my situation has moulded into. We are playing on 5th November with the Fades in Whitechapel at Urban. (Never been there) but apparently good for a Friday night. Come and see us.
I am playing 3 songs from 1987-1991 with Zac Stephenson and Joe Fox at Bartock on the 3rd November.
This month I have purchased two beautiful guitars one day when I work out how to post pictures on here you will see some pictures. One is a 2002 Fender USA Texas Special Fat Strat, it has a scratchplate straight out of an Essex bathroom. The other is a one of custom build Heritage hollow body with Jason Lollar P90's and a 60's style bigsby unit.....asleep yet? Sorry.
Woke up at 5.30 this morning and couldn't get back to sleep so I set about writing the lyrics for a few songs that have been bubbling over. The last few weeks have been a bit weird so that has helped fuel the fire word wise. Thank you to everyone who has contributed and just generally been there. It never goes un-noticed.
We are going into the studio next week with Lamik 2000 from Black Daniel and we hope to get two tracks down to release on the Indelicates Corporate Recordings label over the next few weeks.
The tracks we have to play with are Bhambi a rambling song about being in a band (jesus that sounds f*cking cliche, there are no mandolins or ragamuffins, it isn't what you think), £12.75 (about a stripper I met but originally about something else), October (about a mish mash of things that have happened in October some good, most bad all confusing) and Gin (A tender love song about comedowns and broken glass). Not sure which ones we are going to go with. (I also haven't discussed this mail out, or any of the song titles with the rest of the band so these are subject to change)
We are playing at the George Tavern on Halloween(31st) too so next weekend is going to be quite busy.
The gig after that is guided missile. 13t November at the Buffalo Bar.
We really enjoyed playing at Proud for Zac last week, I think we may have slightly confused the crowd, the band before us were exactly the sort of PRS driven female fronted regional emo toss that seems to get on to most bills nowadays.
Please try harder bands, anyways. Have a nice sunday.
