  1. We were in the studio on Sunday to do some recording for a new EPK. We also had some new photo’s taken. I would highly recommend Clarissa Debenham Photography if you are considering having some professional photo’s done. We have worked with her many time’s and she is consistently excellent in every way. Here is an outtake from Sunday’s session. Love these guys....
  2. Ticket sales for this have been the best yet. 400 advanced sold and the venue cap is 500, so if you’re coming, buy them now!
  3. Tickets available for the above gig this Friday. Support is Yankee Rose who I am also depping for. Gonna be a busy weekend (see other post for 23/11). Tickets here.... https://www.seetickets.com/event/changes-two-bowie-too-rex/chinnerys/1305645 (ignore the blurb on the See Tickets link about Too Rex supporting us - they’re out of action for the rest of the year)
  4. Very much so. Not that I want to, but I can’t get ‘rbbts’ out of my head. Proper ear worm.
  5. Her father died a little while ago. I think he would have been very proud of this new chapter of her life.
  6. I’ll buy it for you if I win the Euromillions tomorrow 👍
  7. Some of you maybe already be aware of Kate, but her new album ‘Trophy’ came out the other day and I can’t stop playing it. For those that may not have picked up on her, she has a bit of a complicated musical backstory which I’m sure you can Google if you’re so inclined. She came to my notice through the Postmodern Jukebox with a cover of All About That Bass in which she sings and played double bass (check out the solo).... Bizarrely, this enormously popular video sadly became her undoing for a while. She became contractually entangled with a label who wanted to market her as seen in that video and would not budge on anything else. She had so much else to offer and ultimately it was their loss. Now free of any obligations, she has produced her first proper solo album and it’s a gem as far as I’m concerned. Here are a couple of tracks.... Kate and her band are over here in January. As fate would have it, she plays Islington, London on Jan 25th, the same day I’m in Islington watching The Aristocrats! We will be travelling to Brighton the following day to see her there instead.
  8. Just saw this on Facebook. Those Hot Pink, Dorado and Shadow Gold basses look lovely. Must resist 😀 https://shop.music-man.com/catalog/category/view/id/176/?p=2
  9. He did buy it especially for this. He also bought a Mini May as well. No AC30. He’s all sorted on the amp front 😀
  10. I do have a wig courtesy of @martthebass, but it appears not everyone is ‘fully committed’ to the wig concept as I first was. I have been in contact with the owner of the pink shirt JD wore on the day who sent me some detailed images of it’s design. I researched getting the shirt recreated, but it wasn’t half as easy as I thought it was going to be, so have had to set that aside. I’m aware that the bass itself is an extravagance given the nature of the gig, but I’m so glad I had it made as it’s an absolute belter plus I finally have a P bass that I actually like.
  11. That was over two weeks ago and I’ve lost nearly a stone in 5 weeks, so I don’t think I can be caused of not trying 😉
  12. This was brought up the other day and it all revolves around cost. If we can encourage someone to do it for free, then yes. What will probably happen is a static camera will be set up next to the desk at the rear and we’ll use that. In fact, I’ll take my camera, so at least we’ll have something.
  13. So, gig day for this little venture is now just 4 weeks away and we started rehearsals about two weeks ago. Unknown to me at the time, the keys player shot a cheeky video of our first run through of Hammer To Fall on his phone which was propped up against the side of the PA. The performance was far from perfect, but it gives a good idea of what a thunderous beast the 'Deacy P' bass is. I absolutely love it.
  14. Have recently been asked for the weight of this bass. I have now added it to the main description. Weight is 9.48lbs.
  15. Despite trying to sell a few basses, I managed to buy another one last week 🙄, so this really does need to sell now. Sensible offers considered.
  16. Absolutely. Some might say that he's one half of an 'ok rhythm section', so it must be Flea that's letting the side down? 😂
