The thunderstorm is 100% real, no sfx at all. We just sat at opposite ends of the room, stuck a mic in the middle, opened all the windows and what you hear is exactly how it happened. Sometimes life just deals you amazing coincidences really, especially as that night was our first practice
Your new songs are sounding good by the way... x Ellie
Hiya! Really hope you can get down to No.6 on THURSDAY 21st AUGUST for 4 great bands...
THE ASH & THE OAK "Lovely Songs and Lush Harmonies" KITES "truly epic, Kites' seven band members create an impressive wall of sound" THE PAGAN WANDERER LU "Strongly worded letters from a road safety fascist set to bedroom electro indie pop tunes" FEBRIA "harmonious rock n' roll quintet"
and a good old dance! Get the weekend started early ;~)
Take care, [Thee alternative - 3rd Thursday of EVERY month!]
Silver Spurs are still rolling along, just a bit more slowly and shambolically than before! I started doing this cos the guys were always busy with their other bands and I'd written a bunch of songs that didn't really fit into the Spurs template, it seems to be working out pretty well so far... x

Hey Christian, I really enjoyed your set at Mish Mash last night. Very brooding and interesting. My ears were happy. Our recording - low fi? Or... just plain bad? :-)
We're all keen to come see you again please. When? Where?
No worries VL it was a great night but will be more to come... speaking of which I'll be there Thursday bro, can't wait to hear your tracks blasting!! See ya thurs :D
the almighty fuhrer henceforth wishes to express his humble gratitude to you for taking the proffered hand of socalled 'friendship' anjd becoming his socalled 'friend'. we all need to stick together in these dangerous times. one never knows what is going to come hurtling round the corner at...one. anyway, i'm glad you accepted because i would have hated to subject you to the almighty BLITZKRIEG i was about to unleash on you and your kind if you had henceforth denied my such generous offering, patronage and offer of comradeship (which, again, i think was very GENEROUS of me). i will henceforth expect nothing but the deepest gratitude/respect/love/aDORation from your weak underling self and your fellow men. anything less than this sort of devotion will be met with the most vicious, bloody assault on you and your notes that the world will shudder when it hears my humble name. i will be forced to pick you up between thum and forefinger and squeeze you until you resemble more closely a pea, rather than the human being you claim to be. er...but i'm sure that won't be necessary! anyway...good health! i think we will are sehr SEHR gut friend! many hearty nights shall be ours and ours alone. we are the last descendants of the purest type of human. the only type! rejoice! your musique ist also sehr SEHR alright. REGARDS, A. H
