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...
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...
Minus 27 are currently putting the fnishing touches to the new EP "Impact Winter", which will be available around the end August / beginning of September, date to be confirmed. We're working with Paul Atkinson master of living room recording, and the track listing will be as follows: 1. Welcome Home 2. Hold On Me 3. Lonely Day 4. Welcome Home (Acoustic) We should also mention a big shout out to Graeme Curtis who's done some great drum tracks...
June has been pretty busy for us so far, particularly this weekend. As you may have read we've recently been doing some recording at Hall Place studios, Leeds. We're combining the sessions so that we also use our home based set up, allowing us to do more work on the track without having to pay for 'studio' time. On Friday we managed to finish our Track 'Hold On me', which in our opinion sounds well awesome - but we...
So we're heading back to the studio this Sunday to record a few tracks. We're both pretty excited to get back in there and produce some new tracks, and as soon as we're able we'll get them out on this website and on YouTube. We should also have some video content to get up here as the near-legendary Paul Atkinson will be accompanying us for the trip. If you've got any last minute suggestions...
Here's a little sneak peak, of new song 'It Is What It Is'. See you at Open Mic on Monday night, 9pm at The Queens, Apperley Bridge. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6ORS_WIAzI]...
