Jon came by today to record some final bass parts. Here’s an obligatory ‘studio’ photo. Note Jon’s sexy new bass (slightly wonkily distorted by the app I was using). I think he’s extremely smitten.

Greetings everyone! The new recordings are now a little bit closer to being finished. Please contain your excitement! On Sunday Johnny came round to the studio (or the spare room if you’re following conventional room-based naming structures) and recorded drums for ‘The Ballad of Richmond Town’, the last track to record. He even managed to nail it on the second take.
There’s a few more parts to come back and then the small matter of the guitars and vocals, which are in various stages of completion. I need to stop dawdling and get on with it basically.
We’ve recorded twelve songs. One of which is almost definitely not getting past the guide guitar/vocals stage. The others all sound ace.
Here’s a photo of Johnny, distracted by my CDs when he should be listening to the drum take:
Video – The Ballad Of Richmond Town – live
So, here’s a video from the Bournemouth gig a few weeks back. Mr Jon Zarych on bass and Master Johnny Yeates on drums. Totally unrehearsed. I think we sounded pretty damn good. Enjoy!
Who wants to play bass?
So, it’s that time of year again, where I ask if anyone would like to play bass in my band. So, er, who wants to play bass?
Naomi isn’t leaving the band immediately (we have plans to do some recording soon) but I thought I’d get the word out early that I need a replacement. Ideally London based and up for gigging/touring (usually weekend/long weekend trips rather than quit-your-job-and-starve affairs) and recording.
If you’re interested or know anyone who might fit the bill, please get in touch:

Youtube is being rubbish with the live video of this song, so I’ve uploaded a version of ‘Exceptions’ from practice to give an idea of what the band sounds like, for anyone who might be interested. Oddly, Naomi is out of shot for most of it, save for a brief glimpse of her headstock…
All in the Reel of the Summer
Check out the new video by Roscoe Vacant and the Gantin’ Screichs. New album out on 8th August and I for one can’t wait!
My productive Sunday…
Just recorded a rough demo of a new song. Working title is ‘You probably shouldn’t keep it all in’. This is what it looks like in Pro-Tools:
