Time to recap on the last week or so of music in this space time continuum I think?! Last Thursday I was back at Mill Studios in Alnwick for a solo session under the watchful eye of the engineer of rock Mr Ally Lee. This was almost like an experiment with the plan being to record one of my AcoustiCalendar tracks. But this time giving it the full band all singing all dancing sonic backing these songs truly deserve. So with the sound suggestion of Manager Clemmy Scotswood we decided that KEEP YA TiMBER iN AND YA POWDER DRY would get the full treatment. The song itself is the brief story of Ashington/Northumberland Miners and the hardship they endured back in the day. Anyway enough of the history lesson, we wasted no time in getting down to business as I laid down an acoustic guitar track to get things started. More electric and bass guitars were laid down as were drums and percussion and the track began to gather momentum. This was all very satisfying stuff as, even though suffering from an annoying cold the vocals were smoothly recorded too. Ally then pitched in with a requested joyous mandolin intro as well as backing vocals and within no time the song was complete! The transformation from the one voice one guitar demo, to the urban folk punk pop sing a long we now have before our ears was tremendous! This song ended up being nothing like I expected it to sounded like, but everything I wanted it to be! I can't wait for you all to hear the fruits of this session very soon! Watch this space! Big thanks to Ally as always :)
So onto Saturday and LoGOz at the Coquetfest at Druridge Bay Country Park. After a busy morning and early afternoon we were slightly behind schedule as we got on site around 3pm, only 30 minutes before stage time. As we strolled through the festival with our gear heading for the Tent it was good to see lots of familiar faces going the same way! As we quickly set up, the tent filled up nicely and was great to see people itching to see the band! Also cool to see a few members of local acts ST. JAMES INFIRMARY, FROM ORDER COMES CHAOS, COLLISION, and FLAMIN EIGHTS in the crowd lending their support! So after a quick line sound check we were off like a shot with an enthusiastic LONG TiME DEAD blasting us into action! Carl was again on fine form filling in for Harry who is still recovering at home with his lucozade and grapes, we wish him all the best and get well soon mate! A great set was played to a brilliant crowd so thank you everyone who sang along and came to see us! Your support is always hugely appreciated! Cheers to Tony Eastlake for putting us on. Also special thanks to Jill Bee :)
Back to Monday and yet again it's AcoustiCalendar time with Song #36 SOMEWHERE iN SUBURBiA. The title just came to me from nowhere a few weeks ago so I decided to write a song based on a few dark tales I've heard while growing up. Some totally true. Some exaggerated rumours. Some probably absolute horse shit. Who knows? Somewhere in suburbia it's probably ALL true! As ever the song will be available to download for Free from www.logozworld.com/52 for seven days until the next track is uploaded.
To finish off I'd just like to remind you all that it's just over a week until our headline gig at the O2 Academy in Newcastle. We really wanna make this an amazing night and prove that bands like us can pack the place and put on a brilliant event! If you haven't got your tickets then you can get them directly from us here at www.logozworld.com/contact message us on facebook www.facebook.com/logoz3 or email clemmyscotswood@gmail.com. This gig is also featuring our good friends THE HALF CUTS, THE FLAMIN EIGHTS and the recently added ACES & SINNERS. Welcome on board lads! This is gonna be a cracking night and you wouldnt wanna miss a bit of history :) Also one last thing, I just wanna say all the best to the guys in COLLISION who have sadly called it a day! We wish them all the luck with future projects and look forward to working with some of you again in the very near future :)
So that's it for now lads and lasses!
Remember...Keep ya timber in and ya powder dry :)
Cheers
