Hola,
Leslie Nielsen, Pete Postlethwaite (I remember him most fondly from Dragonheart) Gerry Rafferty (THAT one hurt), these are huge losses to the media industry, and yet with each loss there comes a time of rebirth, and about to be de-wombed is our first full length studio album. The writing and planning has been completed and now is the time for rock (throw horns here) It was tough working out which tracks would / wouldn't make the final cut but we think we've got it right, some rockers, stompers, Norwegian influenced acoustic folk ballads…..ahem……
Not sure when the release will be yet, doing all the marketing / recording / art sorting / releasing independently is a little tinker for time consumption but we (well, Tom) give 100% to these things so it'll all be groovy in the end.
Our producer Mark 'Campfire Beans' Tambini is a hottie as well which helps, as I sing to him in the studio, lost in the smokiness of his eyes….also kids, Mark is a DIE-HARD fan of 12 bar chugga-chugga blues so please constantly email him with essays on that very topic.
Also, a very sad time for local independent radio here in Wales, AFAN FM who have supported us a great deal in the past have had to close their doors to make way for….a generic dance radio station (Fewf, for a second there I thought that an awesome, volunteer run local radio station who heavily supported independent music was being replaced by a style of station that is ten-a-penny) so we wait for Hash & Hannah to resurface with another perfect musical outpost sometime soon so we can steal more two hour radio slots from them :) Well you can hear the tracks that we selected but weren't aired here http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=178098015548571
I bought a new 'axe' recently, a Fender Jaguar Blacktop HH which is definitely affecting the tightness of my trousers, it's strange not playing my Guild M-70 but I daresay I will use it on the recording at some key parts for nostalgic purposes. I heartily recommend the Blacktop series from Fender, tasty sounds at tasty prices. (I'll want payment for that slogan, Leo)
Now get to bandcamp and download Tiny Revelations! www.recluse.bandcamp.com
RIP AFAN
