Tuneful indiepop with a social conscience.
Live video of Bangkok recorded @ The Arches in Sept 2008.
Please excuse the poor vocals, I had a sore throat and there was no reverb or vibrato control option on the mixing desk. That's the excuse I'm sticking to, anyway!
..
Local blues/rock band JCT37 kindly provided backing on 'Guilty Until Proven Innocent' and 'Bangkok' which were recorded, mixed & produced by Martin Roberts @ MARJEL MUSIC, Barnsley. The other 4 tracks were recorded using Band-In-A-Box software.
If any unsuspecting venue wants to take a chance on us and give us a gig, then we'd be ever so grateful. Anything considered, from Alisha's attic (who was Alisha anyway?) to the Royal Albert Hall....weddings, funerals, barmitzvahs....anything.
**** BANDS WITH STREET TEAMS ARE NOT WELCOME HERE, GO AWAY ****
GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT: If you can't serve the time then don't commit the crime.
EVENING ALL (Satchmo's Song): Anti-social comment on the state of the nation. It's amazing what you can do with 2 chords and band-in-a-box these days.
BANGKOK: A paen to the pleasures & pitfalls of the far east, and I'm not talking Great Yarmouth here folks.
THE GREAT UNWASHED: Agoraphobia is a crippling illness, both mentally and physically. I've seen it first hand and it's painful.
SOMEWHERE SORDID: This song like most of the ones I've written is open to interpretation, but I can reveal that there is a car keys in the middle of the coffee table wife swapping element to it, resulting in the pain and guilt that dabbling in such a practice no doubt entails
MY ALTER EGO: A simple song about a complicated relationship.
Örnsberg releases weekend lights April 20th and Redlinespotting his debut album April 27th on Perfectly Charming Records. check out the link to iTunes to hear the tracks.

We've had a few reshuffles lately. Well, that's not strictly speaking true. We lost our bassist (who was only helping out as he's in 9 zillion other bands), and have parted company with our drummer, although we hope this will be temporary as he's a novice and struggling a little with the expectation of gigging and recording. We're preparing ourselves to record with a machine/samples, which I always swore I wouldn't do. But I'm getting too old to have principles. Drum machines? You really do get more right-wing as you get older ;)
Glad to see things are picking up for you. That gig together might be a possibility next year, I hope.
