About The Cathode Ray

A Little History: The Cathode Ray started life in 2006 as a blend of the songwriting and musical talents of Jeremy Thoms and ex Josef K frontman, Paul Haig. Completing the line-up with former Bluebells and current TV21 bassist Neil Baldwin and drummer/percussionist, David Mack, The Cathode Ray released a one off double 'A' sided single titled "Whats It All About?"/"Mind" in late 2006 on Pronoia Records. Since the release of that first single, and the completion of the self-titled debut album, Paul Haig has left the project amicably to continue with his solo career. His replacement for live and future recording work is former Scars/Mike Scott guitarist Steve Fraser. A second single, "Slipping Away" was released to great critical acclaim in April 2009 on Re-Action Recordings (see Guardian review in blogs). A third single, "Train", will trail the album, which is finally due for release in October 2009. The new band lineup will be making it's live debut in the autumn to coincide with the album's release. More details as they emerge...July 2009
