Happy June everybody. We thought we'd give you a bit of an update on our forthcoming EP and a run-down of some excellent gig news. Are you sitting comfortably? Then we'll begin. Ahem. The EP is only short of vocals at the moment (although I'm sure we'll find an excuse to add a shaker-egg somewhere) and we've booked off tomorrow daytime to fill the front room with recording gear and annoy our neighbours for a few...
Hello Internet, how are you? We are fine, thank you for asking. Spring has truly sprung in West Yorkshire. We can tell because it's raining. Luckily a lot of what we do involves being indoors, so we're relatively dry - again, thanks for your concern. You're all so lovely. Anywho, on to the news. We're pressing on with our new EP, and things are going very nicely. All the instruments are down (touch wood) and we've...
Hello! Just a quick post tonight with an update on our next EP and a gig reminder. EP update The vast majority of guitars and other fiddly instruments about which I know nothing have been laid down for our forthcoming EP, and made to sound even better by the masterly Paul Atkinson. Despite my best efforts to disrupt him, Mike has recorded some super-cool guitar tracks and all that remains is our vocals. And if I'm good,...
Hello again! Last weekend we had ourselves a road trip to wonderful Cambridgeshire (thank you for having us) to meet up with Absolution Films and shoot our first ever music video for Lonely Day - track 3 on Impact Winter. We filmed at beautiful RAF Upwood which I believe is currently taking bookings for your wedding / family celebration (on the understanding that you're a fan of broken glass, inventive graffiti and mouldy animals)....
Hi guys. Sorry for the extended silence - we've had a mad November, including some recording, a little holiday for Rik and an epic road trip to Cambridge for a washed out attempt at busking. It may have rained a lot, but the good people of Cambridge were very nice and seemed to enjoy our stuff as they tried not to get washed away. We've just recorded a few new covers for the You...
Ok, so it's been a while since we posted. We've been busy, real busy. Rik has been getting his zombie on for 2.8hourslater and yes there is photo footage : I think we can all agree that this should now be full Minus 27 get up for gigs? Speaking of which, another gig coming your way is on Wednesday 2nd November at The Hop in Leeds. We'll be covering for Matt Belmont, who I believe was mistakenly sacrificed...
So it's Sunday night again, and we're getting ready for 3 gigs this week. Tomorrow we're back at The Queens in Apperley Bridge for Open Mic. Last week the turnout was excellent, as was the quality, so hopefully we'll see you there to help us shake off the Monday blues. This Thursday the 15th September we're playing The Coniston in Idle for the first time. We've heard it's a great pub for music and...
Well, it's Sunday night and we've had a mad bank holiday weekend. We've clocked up around 280 miles in 48 hours and consumed a ridiculous amount of coffee. Cellar V Guiseley (Friday night) was a great start to the weekend. We played a barn at the top of a muddy field somewhere north of Pateley Bridge on Saturday - probably the strangest venue we've ever played and a top night, and a massive bbq...
Another date for your diary or maybe your smartphone calendar. 24th of September sees Minus 27 support Luke Leighfield and Jose Vanders at Escobar, Leeds. The gig kicks off around 8pm and is free entry. you'll have the chance to get your hands on 'Impact Winter' our debut EP, and the opportunity to hear a couple of new live songs too, plus the chance to buy us a beer afterwards! Hurrah! ...
We've spent tonight checking in with Mr Paul Atkinson and finalising the mix on Welcome Home, all that remains is for Paul to tweak the cover art (thanks Paul!) and Impact Winter will be ready for printing. In giddy celebration we decided to play a couple of songs and have a coffee. We filmed the songs, not the coffee. Incidentally, if anyone would like to see a video of us drinking coffee, let us...
