We’ve written a song and we’ve got our 5 tour dates!! We want everybody to learn the song and come and play with the band on one of the five dates. This is going to be amazing. As always the TV cameras are going to be with me. I’ve even had an offer from a sound engineer who’s going to come and make sure we record everybody playing on the track. This is getting really exciting now. Let me know if you can come, invite everybody you know. I can e-mail you the tour poster for each city – it would be brilliant if you can put them up to drum up some support!! Here we go…
We're plotting all the band members on to a map for the tour! E-mail me a photo of yourself, what instruments you play and where you're from and I'll add you. joshward84@myspace.com
Click on map to see the Superband so far!
About me: I was about to play a gig with my band (I play the bass) on Brick Lane in London, and they were filming little clips of people for t-mobile adverts. I reeled off a stream of consciousness about starting a superband (with the promise of £500 if I were to get on an advert!). Now I'm on posters all over the place, and they've just said that if I do start a band, they'd very much like to follow me around with cameras to see how I do :0) Today they've given me a little camcorder to film when they're not around. All in all, I'm having a really good time of it!! I'll still play in my other band but this is another project, a bit of an experiment. I'd love to meet as many of you as possible if you think we can play together! Just get in touch, I check myspace every day.
LOOKING FOR BRISTOL LOCATIONS, DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY GOOD SUGGESTIONS?
Yo! I know Dimitris originally from the Magic Tombolinos- our paths have crossed quite a few times. Have you seen them play? He is a top guy yes and also a fantastic and inspiringly dedicated musician. Has he got involved in the project? He'd be a treat for the cameras!! :-d xxx
hey, just stopping by to say hi - hope you're doing well. I've got a new video up on my page at the moment, as well as my new single, The Waiting. If you get a minute, I'd love to know what you think. Just spreading some love your way - Thanks and catch you soon! Kevin
Hey! How's it going? This is really awesome what you're doing, good luck with all your future gigs. It's going to be difficult for me to make any gigs but if audio files are good, I may be able to send something? I don't physically play any instruments but I do compose melodies on Logic PRO. Would that be the kind of thing you're asking people to send?
hi Josh, happy to see its going well ;-) well done! Couldn't come by on sat, was mad hectic day launching my album, but really do wish you the best with it all. Thank you for the top friend btw, i see Dimitris is there too.. we are friends as well.. blessings and love Milli xx
Cool you like it Nanoo Nanoo. Wrote it in 30 minutes and 5 or so years later all my niece's and nephews know all the words. Sing along too! lyrics are on the dayonesong page on Myspace. http://www.myspace.com/dayonesong Big love. Liking the bus top tune tis upbeat and happy.
“walked past the lake after work, yesterday...imagining an ocean my stage, full moon as a spot light, stars above are audience, and jumping fish as roses”
i'm so sorry! I couldn't make it to London in the end, People got stuck in Epsom and we couldn't have made it, really sorry :( I tried to call you but I couldn't get through:( I hope you had fun though (: Much love H xxx
Hi Josh, really enjoyed playing the hurdy gurdy on the song in London yesterday! What a great sound! Great idea for encouraging live music. If anyone wants to hear more wild folk sounds come along to the CD launch next week. Cheers Damian from Pressgang
