    Record Store Day 2025

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Me and my son Joe queued for a few hours at Casbah Records in Greenwich last April For the 2LP limited edition of Ian Hunter's Defiance Part 2 - Fiction which had three tracks not on the original release. It was an OK experience and they had someone from the shop coming down the queue whenever a RSD release sold out so that anyone wanting it could bugger off !!. I got a copy which I was glad of, the kicker is I don't have a turntable so I haven't even to be listen to the three tracks 😂 but I am a bit of a completist when it comes to Mr Hunter who's my favourite songwriter !! :D

    Well my gig last Friday certainly turned out to memorable as it's the last time I'll play with my band for sometime, possibly ever. Nothing to do with the gig but on Tuesday I learnt that my blood cancer which had been in remission has kicked off again so I'm likely to be facing 6 months of chemo which will keep me out of gigging and rehearsing. Bit of a bugger. And my lovely Father in Law passed away the day before so all in all a bit of an iffy week.  

     

    So sorry for your bad news, I hope the chemo puts you back into remission :)

    We supported them in Nottingham earlier this year - they were lovely! We chatted to them for ages...

    I'd initially written them off as a cheap titillation band, but despite being very skimpy in dress, they're decent musicians - and have a horrendous gig schedule!

     

    Yes they gig a lot !!, though last year their USA shows fell through because of Visa problems, they paid someone to sort out the paperwork and the company messed it all up, then they toured Europe in October & November and had a lot of problems with their van. I'm looking forward to seeing them live this year as I've not seen them at a show yet, their albums are terrific and they have amazing voices, thanks for the reply :)

    My favourite musical highlight of 2024 was discovering the band 'The SoapGirls' who have independently released 4 albums so far with a new album due in 2025, they do fantastic and fun live streams on YouTube. The band is two sisters Camille (bass & lead vocals) & Noemie DeBray (guitar and lead vocals) who were born in France but live in South Africa, they write terrific Alternative Pop/Rock music with great melodies, lyrics and riffs, below is their latest video release of the song 'She Don't Wanna' from their fourth album 'In My Skin', terrific band :D

    New band is at the 'record some stuff to show venues and get gigs' stage. So we did. Go pro in the corner, silent-ish rehearsal with everything into the desk. Run a few takes of each track and pick the best one.

     

    The drummer has just finished giving it a bit of a polish and syncing the audio & video up. I think he's done a pretty good job:

     

     

     

     

    This was wonderful, superb playing and what a beautiful voice your singer has, excellent, good luck with the band :)
