Summer Hols...

Dave just wanted to say hi. Hi!

Green Head Man are on an enforced break at the moment due to an operation that Ron has had. He is fine and is recovering pretty well - I know this because he is already itching to play the drums again!

A couple of the band are on their Summer hols and things have quietened down a fair bit since the frantic and really enjoyable first half of the year. More to come too!

So we are chillin', but anyone who knows me knows that I can't really do that! Before the op we went into the studio (see earlier blog) to record a few songs. Canadian Dave and I have been having a listed to the film equivalent of the "rushes" (whatever that is) and are quite optimistic that there is some scope for a few nicely laid out songs. We want to maintain the vibe so are pushing for limited overdubs if possible.

Keys are pretty good (even if I say so myself) with only 1 notable gaff but we are not sure if that song is going to make it onto the EP yet anyway.

We recorded 4 songs at the session, 3 compositions of Little Dave's and a cover by the Open Mind. Watch out for "Human Zoo" that's going to slay you! (I hope, ulp).

So now its mixing and all the things that this entails. there is a little too much overspill due to the live record environment so we may reproduce the awesome acoustic track again with the gorgeous Rode mic to get the warmth out of it that we want.

I popped over to see Canadian last week and it was great to have a chat about everything, as he points out two thirds of the time we spend carrying equipment and the other third playing so its good just to talk a bit of crap (and fix the odd laptop for him) once in a while :-)

So, we're here, we're still psychedelic get used to it!

New CD EP our this side of Christmas, Ron on the mend, gigs booked from October onwards, venues ringing us up for more dates in the new year, new Piano operating system and sounds library just waiting for me to install, so we are as happy as we could expect to be whilst not actually gigging.

Hopefully people will turn out to see us play after the break??

Lets hope we still have our Mojo (if not a Sherbert Dib Dab)
