Well,
another year, another blog! what has been going on, I hear no one cry. Well, I'll tell you. Due to excessive snow and all the xmas jazz, we haven't played any gigs since James' party (epic fail on the way back). Been pretty much partying and playing Zelda, but what's that got to do with anything?!
A new CD, limited to a certain amount (can't remember how many, not many) will be out soon. Consisting of our two newest songs, and currently, my two favourites- Minor Arcana and Bat Company. After getting endless back pain from carting all my FX around, I thought, maybe it's time to live in the future and run my guitar through the laptop. If this happens, be prepared for some freaky new guitar sounds (i'll try not to get carried away). It may look less impressive, but at least I'll still have a working back at 22.
Also, I got a new (very cheap) bass, so expect some BASS RIFFS (a beforeiexplode first). Also just about to start blogging for GigJunkie, so expect to see us up on there soon, in some form or another.
New guitar tutorial to follow soon. It might be The Skeleton Song, which is a very old song but probably one of the better ones on guitar, if you have any suggestions though PLEASE let me know and i'll be more than willing to make one ( piano/keyboard ones also). Even though my friend Joe takes great delight on trying to make work mates or just mates watch them when I'm around, so everyone can laugh at my awkward nature.
Sophie has been without internet for a while, which for us is like a life support machine, so I imagine she's prangin out (word of 2010). Anyway you crazy cats, look forward to our new songs, and please, if you haven't...BUY EP 2. It costs four quid. We make about a pound each out of each cd sold, so yknow, we really would appreciate it. We don't have much spare cash.
Anyway, here's some random and stupid photo of my new bass. I'm so shit at this I can't figure out how to upload the other photos.
love and stuff

oh and when we get some money, i'll be investing in a korg nano controller, so we can have live keyboard playing back in the mix!
