THUNDER, HEAR, WOOL and JOSIAH

It’s the season to release your art.

First off, The Thundermonks released their Get Fed EP while I was beached in the Algarve. Josiah Michael Bonnet completed his year long journey, Lonely Man. Hear, Comes The Cavalry AND Wool And Howl have just been mastered and are planning their grueling (though absolutely rewarding) struggle to have their genius see the light of day. Can they do it? Stay tuned as we document their descent into DIY marketing insanity.

Which reminds me. Bri-anne Swan had this lovely little review at Amazon.com

“I saw Bri-Anne playing with just one supporting guitarist in a bar in Toronto (a fundraising event for Multiple Sclerosis) and I was captivated by her voice, her personality and the lyrics of her songs. I bought this CD that evening and it is simply beautiful (although a bit surprising at first to hear a backing band). On this evidence Bri-Anne is surely destined for a great career. The songs are mainly very personal but speak for what most have been through in love and life. And all sung in that captivating voice. Not so much variation in tempo, but each track is perfectly crafted. A real “find” – and one I would not have made if I hadn’t been stuck in Canada because of the airspace closure due to volcanic ash.”

But what am I doing right now?

Up to my knees in the muck. I’m working on Nicole Christian’s blues LP, Prince Perry’s EP, Emma-Lee’s demo recordings and foray into rocksteady (what out!), The Cavaliers, The Expos and have begun work on Nich Worby’s LP – where that leads – I dunno, but it’s great so far. No injuries.

And with that I’ll leave you with a live clip of The Bodysnatchers (named after one of my fave films), from the film, Dance Craze filmed in 1981.
