Things we love....London & Artwork!

Aug 12, 2010 :: Permalink

We had a great time in London yesterday playing at Venue 229 'Club Fandango' night!  Thanks to everyone who came down, we are definitely going to get a lot more gigs down in the Big Smoke!  Love it!

We also love the artwork of Natasha Williams - who plays keys and backing vocals in our live band set up.  She's a brilliant abstract artist and has provided the single artwork for 'Black Heart' which is released on 6th September 2010 on itunes!

Check out her website www.nkw-art.co.uk

RIP Phelps "Catfish" Collins

Aug 10, 2010 :: Permalink

On August 6, Phelps "Catfish" Collins passed away due to cancer. While many might be more familiar with his brother Bootsy, Catfish himself leaves a long, storied musical career. I'll let the obituaries that are out there tell the story, but for someone like me who loves the music of P-Funk and James Brown, Catfish's contributions have and will always inspire me.

YouTube, new EP, shows, and a band...

Aug 7, 2010 :: Permalink

YouTube: So we're half way through the Live at Beatnik's YouTube spectacle and I wanted to send a big thanks out to everyone for watching, enjoying, subscribing, and spreading the links around! There's 7 more videos on the way so check back on Tuesday for the next batch! mmm, tasty videos.

The new EP: Since last year, I've been working on this odd-ball recording/sampling project and I'm proud to say it's almost complete! The EP will be called "And It Hurts." It's based on a song I wrote in 2004ish which was about 6 1/2 minutes long. Thanks to a glitch in my audio software back in '09 when I was mixing 'demo for the solo listener', I started piecing together what is now 3 separate tracks totaling 15 minutes. It's very organic in the sense that it grew out of mistakes and glitches and chance to inform this fully realized orchestration. And throughout the tracks you can hear the influence Danny Elfman, Days of The New, and Tom Waits have had on my music.

When this EP is pressed, the goal is to include rare tracks that I haven't even heard in 5 years. They are songs from the same time frame as the original 'And It Hurts' so it seems fitting to include them. I may re-record a couple of them because the masters/originals are lost on crashed hard drives. But you can expect 4 to 7 tracks on the EP. I am shooting for a Winter release.

Shows: So I've got a couple shows coming up. Mark yer calendars, kids.

Thursday Aug. 12 at Beatnik's 8pm
Saturday Aug. 21 at Ralph's 9pm
Thursday Sept. 23 at Beatnik's 8pm (this is a Birthday show for yours truly!)

Also, I'm still trying to get a band in order. I'll let you know what the deal is with that as we move forward. See you Thursday!

Watch the home demo for the groovy new song "No/Yes"

Aug 2, 2010 :: Permalink

 

This weekend, I was determined to write a song. As often happens when I sit down with my collected lyric notes, several songs start taking shape simultaneously. Today four songs were forming at once, but a single riff, chord progression and melody were stuck in my head.

"No/Yes" is sort of the flip-side of my song "Mulletman." Where that song is a goof on certain kinds of guys, "No/Yes" does the same for a stereo-type of gals.

Using the bass guitar my family gave me a week ago for my birthday and the RC-50 loop-station they got me last year (they spoil me rotten :-), I performed the song in front of my MacBook Pro only moments after I'd finished the lyrics. My exclamations were stifled so as not to disturb my neighbors (there are a couple of sorry-sounding "whoops!), but the moment was definitely captured. I hope you enjoy!

Mixing early rock n roll with punk, country and lots of beer, Christian D And The Hangovers do for rockabilly what Big Rude Jake does for big band music. After the well-received Life Gets In The Way EP, released in 2008, Christian D And The Hangovers had to go full length to build on their legacy. Build on it they have with the dynamic Shake It...Or Leave It! This is an album you can't put down.
