Daddy's proud :)

Album songs

A quick one!

- Werner is now either self-employed or unemployed (have not cleared that up yet), which might mean the progress on the album printing and music video conversions and stuff will progress a bit quicker.

- We are shooting another video on Saturday, with our beloved friends Shotopop, whom are here from England to enjoy sunny (yeah right) ZA!

- We have two songs up for download:
Beware
Sinners

Gotta catch'em all!

Sinners: Video Debut

If you've missed it, the album is called Slow.

We got the masters back the weekend before last! I am so happy with how it turned out. We had to get the master version of Sinners to Louis Minnaar, so that he could put his pretty with our pretty, and now it's ALL pretty.

If you have not seen it yet, here you go!



We'll be putting it to Beta ASAP and pushing it through to MK as quick as possible.

The artwork for the album is pretty much done, we'll probably see a final mock-up on Thursday, and then it's printing time baby! Hell yeah!

We had a blast playing with brilliant new friends, Eyes Like Mirrors, and old friends, The Ocean Doesn't Want Me, last Friday... Had some fun with a cover of Queen's "I want to break free". Never really realized it but that song has some desperate lyrics to it.

There is still hope for me and you

Ah, Longweekends: Video & Gig & Day 9

We have not uploaded any new songs in a while; please enjoy this one:

An easy battle, a lost war

We took Thursday off from work to visit what can only be called Louis Minnaar's torture dungeon. He made my spine bend in directions that it was never meant to go.
After a delightful 6 or 7 hours spent under scorching lights, dressed in black from head to toe, he finally listened when we used the safe-word, and it was home time.

We drove to the city of Johannesburg in pouring rain and pouring traffic to get to the Bella vista lounge. After a two hour nightmare of a sound check, we played our set and the response was pretty okay, especially since we're not even sure where our songs are going at this stage.
The recording process has definitely messed with our live performance. But we'll sort it out. We stayed for Tale of the son's set, which was pretty damn awesome (made me think of IfyouarewhatyoueatIcouldbeyoubytomorrow). I was really disappointed to miss "Eyes like mirrors", but it was that or asleep at the wheel on the way back to Pretoria. We'll definitely organize something with them in the near future. Thanks to Riaan and the bands for the opportunity to play.

On Friday, we hit the studio again. My voice was shot by this stage, so we decided to postpone any vocal recording and focus on instrumentation for two songs: a reworked version of "Kids in bad water", and a reworked version of "Christmas card". Jacob played us some of the work he has been doing on the mixes, and I am enormously excited and proud to have other people hear this album.
