Aside from third-person (occasionally acoustic) rockage, let's go steaming into first-person blazing rock action. Well, maybe not blazing rock, but still…. Recluse (well, Tom and myself) played our first ever Recluse acoustic gig (ahem…..Reclustic) which went down well, so well in fact that we may record a vinyl only acoustic EP with reworked songs in the near future, below is the setlist we played in Globetrotters bar last weekend, the song titles are lyrics from the songs, so we could test Charchy on his Recluse knowledge….a test he FAILED getting only 2 out of 5, tut….tut. Kudos to you if you can name the songs from the cryptic setlist below!
3am
The Dirty Ground
The Devil's song
The Kindly Ones
Turpentine
Pretty Vulture Sees
With a short encore of Ryan Adams / Old Samuel Songs:
There's this girl I know
The Hardest Part
Jeanne
The Engine Running
This month is our three year anniversary as a band! Ah the days of old, recording in my old house in a room the size of a biscuit tin, with girly practise amps and an electronic drum kit that Charch battered into submission within weeks….costing me £250…yeeeessssssss. I have bought a secret gift for us all to celebrate our time together, pictures will be appearing in our next blog!
Also, I have come across a cache of pics and vids of us at various gigs on various cameras and phones flying around my flat so they will be uploaded soon.
Our backing DVD was a success at our last couple of gigs so that will be a mainstay for our shows from now on, so the crows don't have to stare at our ugly mugs for an hour.

A harvester of the sea
Before all my days are done
I want to be…. a fisherman'
