   關於 Friends of the Stars

Friends of the Stars have never done things the easy way. Nor have they often gone the right way; at least, not before a couple of ambitious, ill-conceived or simply stubborn blind alleys have been ventured down first.

That’s why the appearance of “Lighting & Electrical”, their first commercially available album, is such a minor miracle.

Buy Lighting and Electrical from iTunes

Let’s start by admitting it has taken more than two years to release. The cool way of looking at this is they wrote, played, recorded, and produced the whole thing themselves... at home. They roped in expert technical expertise from kindly friends who gave of their time without charge... which kind of means you can’t tap your watch and look miffed at them all the time.

Basically, it’s homegrown. And you don’t rush ‘homegrown’.

The other way of looking at this - the less cool, “accurate” way of looking at this - is that Friends of the Stars can sometimes be guilty of being headstrong about things they later regret. Not tuning the guitars to a piano for the first two or three months of recording, rendering them utterly useless, is a good example of this.

Buy the "Lighting & Electrical" CD from CD Baby

Buy Now

In truth, both the cool and less cool ways of looking at Lighting and Electrical are true. All opposite things co-exist in the world of Friends of the Stars - right and wrong, a strong work-ethic mixed with sloth, acoustic and electric, English and Scottish, Anglo-Saxon and Celtic, country and folk, rock and the roll ... hell, even male and female.

The other thing FOTS comprises is a rare mix of songwriting savvy, vocal harmonies and honest musicianship. There’s nothing forced or flashy about FOTS - there never has been in their seven year history. There never was a need, when you can plug your guitar in, walk up to the microphone and start playing songs as good as “Old Souls” or “Been Down” or “Sharpening a Blade”.

But the album’s ten tracks tell that story better than any words on any page can. This is the first album the band have released but each song has been filtered through seven years of literally hundreds of songs, countless gigs, different line-ups, different priorities, different goals.

..right>

Just as a sideline - despite this wealth of material (little of which has been released until “Lighting & Electrical”) the band’s bloody-mindedness led to them playing four cover versions for their second John Peel Session in 2002. That’s “national radio” chaps, nati-o-nal ra-di-o!

The trio that comprises FOTS - Craig Hamilton, Anna Russell and Cam Docherty - share out the singing and songwriting duties. But, despite the different voices, there’s a unity of sound and a unity of purpose.

Thanks so much for listening...xxx

As you may or may not be aware SoundARC hold a charity gig every year at Club 85 in Hitchin in aid of the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, and this year we are going to try something a little different from previous years.

This year we are going to take over the club and host 37 acts in one weekend putting full bands upstairs and acoustic acts downstairs in an event that we are calling ARCfest!

It all starts on Friday 4th December at 7pm and then continues on through Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th from 12pm-11pm

As well as raising money for the Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, ARCfest will showcase all the different genres of bands that we at SoundARC have come across over the last 4 and a half years. Over this weekend a lot of the acts that you will see don’t get a chance to play a great local venue like Club 85, So as well as hearing new music you will see all manors of genres and styles from acoustic - Metal - Indie - Rock - Punk - Electro - Ska - Funk - Hip Hop/Rap - Alternative - Rhythm & Blues - Reggae - Grunge and loads more that I cant remember!
