Hi Tara,

Thankyou for your kind words.
It is being released online through Pocket Change records sometime in July.
Available for free download.
But i'm also going to be releasing a hard copy of it.
The songs are recorded and packaging is ready.
I was just hoping to release it after i'd played a few shows.
Which is going slowly.
Aparently I am playing on July 17.
I'll see what happens after that, and try and get more things booked.


You music is amazing by the way.
I hope to see you at atleast one of your upcoming shows.



Max.

Hey Tara,

Sorry about running off the other night. I had a rather large bag hanging from my back and a friend waiting for me. I hope the show went well and it was lovely to see you.

Hope you don't mind some ruthless self promotion but I'm playing with the band at The Globe on Saturday 26th April and would really appreciate it if you'd post this comment in support of the show. Special guests will be Asa Broomhall plus Peter B (faq) and the Homeless Souls. Thanks in advance for your support - Peace, Ben :)

I was looking at your page and the live recording of 'Domino' plays automatically and because it starts with you speaking - "This is my last song for the night..." - it scared the crap outta me. It's midnight, dark and quiet and my speakers were pumped.

your music is nice for writing cheques to.
unfortunately none of these cheques were written for me, or you.

but you know. i'll keep playing it in the hopes taht someone will spontaneously want to write me/you a cheque.

a big fat one.

cya next week darlin. xx
