Another week spent in the Big Smoke has passed. We went down to record with the brilliant, and brilliantly funny Sam Frank also known as Tony Mazorate (“I love big bass”). The session was great, and the Lamb Tagine from a street vendor on Ladbrooke Grove was, in one member’s eyes -no name mentioned- even better. In two days we managed to put down a recording of ‘Ivory’, and its sounding as sweet as the apricots that set off the street Tagine.
Never ones to rest on our laurels – which is probably the reason why we hold such contempt for our work – we popped down to Finsbury, a very plush borough of London, and quite simply, we hustled. I’m not going to give anything away now, for that would be folly, and I love any opportunity to tease any soul that allows me the pleasure. Please refrain from twisting your knickers, all will be revealed in due course.

Ok, so the Victorian water pipes that surround our lock-up burst during the Arctic snap at Chrimbo, and after day’s of despairing about the state of our equipment, one by one everything came back online.Tom’s pedal board which looked like a make shift fish tank, with little metal fish-pedals floating around made a miraculous recovery. Today was the first chance to take a look at the PA, friend and engineer Tony (Hare & Hounds resident) took time out of his day to re-loop un-looped cables and gate and compress the channels on the mixer, all very technical but h’absolutely necessary! So this is a shout out to Tony for saving the rest of our week. Cheers mate. x

So, the weekend just gone can be hailed as the first point of depature for us. We spent the weekend in a leafy part of west London, although we didnt spot any leaves, only dogs with jumpers on – desingner jumpers darling – and very wealthy Russian families. I think the trendy term is oligarchs, clad in haute couture to get the weekly shop in, utter decadence! I digress, the true reason for us being there, was not to stare at dogs and their owners, it was to put down some initial demo’s, we did. So once they’ve been mixed a bit we’ll post them on here, for all - who are willing to have a listen.
Must dash, my dry cleaner has called, the Lacroix suit is ready, and I’ve ran out of tinned sardines.
Ciao.
Samuel
