| About Thrashing Marlin |
|
Yes we are back.We've been busy, check out our day job at www.plan9music.co.nz
A while ago the urge came upon us again to write some Thrashing Marlin type songs (one of our many side projects that now has 3 albums and a 10 year history) and play and record them with our favorite musicians. "Wits End" is the result.
You can check out our previous 2 albums and other albums by us and our friends at the BRAILLE RECORDSs site connected to
www.plan9music.co.nz
We are based in Wellington New Zealand Aotearoa and as well as working as screen composers we still play in various bands such as "The Labcoats", "The village idiots" and more recently perform the show "the songs of Kurt Weill" in a six piece band featuring many of the "Wits end" musicians and fronted by the vocal talent that is Janet Roddick.
We aren't planning any immediate gigs with Thrashing Marlin as our extended band is spread far and wide ( Wellington,South Island sheep station manager, Rome, Wanaka, Australia Indonesia Oh year and Jonny has gone to pursue his love of throat singing in Mongolia) but check out our blog to see what we are up to with our other projects which we will update here.
Some of the talent featured on "Wits End" is Janet Roddick(Six Volts) David Long(Muttonbirds) Chris O'connor(Don McGlashan)Jonny Marks and Anthony Donaldson(The Village idiots) Riki Gooch(Trinity Roots, Neil Finn, Bic Runga etc etc) Jeff Henderson(Happy bar host and multi mentalist)British blues and avant guard legend Mike Cooper(Howling Wolf, Sun House) TimPrebble(sound designer extroadinaire) and some great post humus vocal samples from Len Lye.
To make up for our lack of a live presence with Thrashing Marlin we are adding some video to give you a bit of visual stimulation ( and bacause it's fun) We will be uploading more as we finish them.
You can purchase our albums from www.smokecds.com (they ship internationally) or www.realgroovy.co.nz if you are NZ resident. You can also buy downloads from www.amplifier.co.nz if that is your preference.
Well enough about us. Feel free to leave a comment. or contact us we would love to hear from you.
