Standland Cablegram
While it certainly was nice playing a few gigs back in the States last month, preparations are being made for another series of gigs and then a full return to the road in the fall. We expect to be in America at the end of June to have tea and cakes with a few potential production partners and to put the final road map plans down for a full push of Travel Light. All must know well that once we pressed the record we were anxious to get it and ourselves “out there” but overriding family concerns lead us back to Eire to attend to non musical obligations. That being said, the office has the wheels in motion for a full campaign to get the disc in as many hands as possible and take it to the stage. At the same time, we are writing away and expect to let new songs be run through the tube amps this summer.
In other news, of which there will be plenty soon, we ran completely out of copies of Transmissions. Before we phoned in another order for the store, we sat down and pondered just what is was that made us a bit reluctant to do so. Suffice to say we as a band decided that in the chaos of the times that were, certain songs and the sequencing itself were a bit out of kilter so we put it back in the hands of the great and wonderful Emily Lazar at THE LODGE. Back it came like a boomerang….re-mastered, re-sequenced, a song or two back on the shelf and two songs added. We hope you like what we did to it. We feel it now reads like the book we read when we made it. If you have it, you are getting another. Anyone who bought it before can email us and off it will go in the mail. It should be here in 2 weeks and we will send a mail out on its arrival.
Something else groovy happened on the way to the butcher. We were moved to take Dressed To Kill to a London producer/re-mix master of note by the name of Guy Cupper (aka GoodGuy) and let him do his thing. No instructions…just do what you do, Guy. The result is 5 Mins and 30 secs of dance floor beats that we trust will have the club world turned right round baby right round like a record baby…..you get the pic.
See you in June in certain cities and in the fall from here to Auckland.
