Why the Dickens

haven't we posted anything here for so long?

Much apologies to both of you (I think we've already tried that joke!)

There are 3 new songs to sample at our Myspace and on the official site on the jukebox.

Kooky Girl is an infectious pop/funk number, Meredith shows our serious, sensitive side. Invisible sees a cheeky 80s synth-pop ditty .

Once again, hopefully something for all. Versions will be remixed and mastered and then up for inclusion on our second album, out in 2011.

Tally ho

Hear the album

Privileges ordinarily offered to mailing list members and people called Jeremy are now available here.

Will the album ever be ready?

A session at a different studio in Shrewsbury has got half of the songs mixed with the others finalised at HQ (Binester studios, Church Stretton).

Hopefully there will be no need of further alterations and the album should be out in late May. However, do not count your chickens dear follower, as our perfectionist streak may mean a June release. Bah and double bah!

However, the setup at HQ will be different for the next recordings. New resources to wet our pants over....

But let's glory in the forthcoming 'The Scarlet Club' for now...

Not long to go

The final phase of the album 'The Scarlet Club' is upon us. Two more mixing and mastering sessions are planned in the next fortnight.

Then all will be complete and we can take over the world...
