Slow starting I know.Had a delightful few , giddy, suspended weeks after the mad rush to jump from a cliff that comes over you late December. Doing nothing much.Freeballing.
Now things have gathered apace.
Clare Moore is dangerously close to finishing off the DAMES album. Sounds great. Ten songs, five of them sung by Clare , three by Kaye Louise Patterson and two Kaye instrumentals.
Harry Howard and the NDE's album "near death experience" is also set for March 1st release on Spooky records. Thats harry on guitar and songs, Edwina Preston on organ, me on bass and Clare Moore on drums.
As to dave graney and the mistLY , we have been working on the material and head into a studio next week to put down a dozen songs. Some have been demoed for a long time. Others have been in our live set for the last six months.

Its all sounding great. I'm playing electric 12 string and have been working on my amp and sound in a quite maniacally obsessed way for the last few months. It is a hot rod. The sound is singing. Going to be a guitar pop album. bass, drums, guitar and vocals. Sounds mad I know!
Theres also a track I've recorded myself which may turn up called king of the dudes. Its a freaky groove.
