We do this for kicks. We have no intention or delusions of ever "making it" We plan on gigging at least once a month, maybe more, and hopefully accumulating something of a small following.
We write all our own stuff, except for one odd ball cover in the shape of Chic’s "good times", where the vocalist and drummer put a rap on the number.
New songs tend to start with a rough studio draft and then other musos stick their mark on it/ ruin it with extravagantly long guitar breaks and the like, but hey thats life in a band. (Check out the break in Justice - live)
Our genre is pretty much straight ahead rock, possibly elements of traditional/ contemporary prog (or so weve been told by members of the audience on occassions).
We usually play a pretty long set, roughly 1 hour 10 minutes or so.
The numbers on the page were recorded at Captain Toms (live recording deal) on a pretty much one take basis, so any fuck ups couldnt be ironed out. Pretty good mix for four blokes in one room playing at the same time. The other recorded versions were done in a homestudio
So this is a first punt at a myspace page, and tbh I’m shit at this sort of stuff, but I’m guessing it will evolve into something better.
Did battle of the bands on Monday 24th, that was a lot of fun, debued a new number, Blind Alsatian, seemed to go down reasonably well. Congrats to Estrella on getting through, too bad to Headlight, Velvet Audio and the Underkills who all put on a blinding set.
We’ve just posted a really chilled instrumental number we did recently, hasn’t even got a name yet. Might wind up in the set some time, who knows...
peace...
