Hello all, and welcome to the latest in our Stay at Home Sessions. Sorry for the delay, it turns out that working from home and taking care of baby twins into the bargain is time consuming. Who'd have thought it? Thanks to Wilko and Jules for the request. This is a song we have been playing together for 20 years. It's from the album Stunt by Barenaked Ladies and it's an absolute classic. We've always...
We've been taking requests for the Stay At Home Sessions, and we thought we would start with a song we often had requested at gigs. We both love Barenaked Ladies, and our version of their song has been in our set list for years. So this one is for Mandy and Suzanne, thanks to you both for the request. If anybody has other requests please let us know. If you're looking for some more musical...
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...
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...
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...
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]...
[caption id="attachment_90" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Photo by 'Rusty Sheriff' via Flickr Creative Commons"][/caption] This week is again a busy 5 days for Minus 27. Tonight is our regular spot at The Queens, Apperley Bridge, 9pm. Wednesday sees M27 return to the White Cross in Guiseley and Friday (you know that free day off) sees us back at the West End in Kirkstall, and then later on that day we're back at Cellar V to give bank...
Getting fairly busy at camp M27 over the last month or so, and there's no signs of it slowing down. We're hopefully going to be working alongside Absolution Films for the second time and filming some new videos. The initial aim of the project is to get a video completed for our track 'Welcome Home', and then further our live recordings. And thanks to code name "PGTips" there may be a brand new version of...
