Hmmmm. It just took me about about a thousand years to remember my blog username, which is probably a sign that I don't update this enough.

The last Louisiana gig went very well, we're definitely playing better than we have in any previous incarnation. I'm really enjoying myself, particularly in relation to the greater dynamic range that's available to me now I'm not confined to the old acoustic. Positive reactions abound, which leads to the classic "so...have you got any recordings of the new stuff?" questions, to which I have to reply "erm...no, sorry" which I hate.


I really like the last two demo EPs I did, but that's the point - I did them. Self produced, self recorded - although the material is still valid (and the songs are certainly crop up live), the approach isn't really. And it could definitely be argued that what we've got recorded doesn't represent the full range of what we do. And it would be a good argument. I couldn't argue back, I'd lose.


So, I really want to get some full band stuff recorded. So someone offer me cheap studio time, cos I'm broke...

Mark's just gone off to Sweden for a couple of weeks (during which he'll hopefully be on the lookout for some promoters/venues for our sort-of-planned December trip), then it's a month of rehearsing/thinking about recording, then back to gigging in October hopefully. We want to work some more songs into the set, some old and some brand new, so we can alter the setlist as much as we feel like each time we play.
