Hello! I hope 2009 is going well for you musically and otherwise? x A little update!
The forthcoming 4-track EP is nearing completion, and I cannot tell you how different this sound is from the demo's, not in terms of sound but having been given free reign on drums, bass and violins with expert production, it has exploded in savage tribal style :p Prepare to rock to the rhythm. This is the band sound.
Alternative singer/songwriter based in London, a blend of haunting melodies and ethereal magic, on the fast track to a fully banded, savagely tribal sounding EP, which may prove surprising to some. Falling under a spell, prepare for nostalgia in these personal insights. Currently expanding into a band. The EP is due for release early 2009.

dont spose you could send me the bass tabs to songbird ... i made my own version then altered ... so bleh but i wanna see what its actually like ... the first bit not the terry bit :P
take it easy n keep producing great songs
i think those two new songs (i think theyre new either that or im just completely oblivious :P) are awesome. sorta sums up how ive been feeling lately
Damian, I don't get to My Space much these days and just listened to you new songs. They are so awesome and you are also. I think back to almost a year ago when I had the pleasure of seeining you perform. You just get better and better. Thinking about you with lots of love always. Auntie Susanxoxo
Damian has been played on the It's A Frog's Life Acoustic Podcast Show 65 - Precious few heroes. This show features an interview and three tracks from Leon Rosselson, one of the UK's finest radical songwriters. Leon's contribution is complimented by some more great acoustic music from artists across the United Kingdom.
Thanks for listening and for your comments. If you get the change then please log on to iTunes and leave a 5 star review. If you do I'll give you a special mention. If you leave a review and you're an acoustic musician from the UK I'll play two of your songs on a future show. How's that for an incentive?
