Hi Reader!!

Well, what a weekend it has been! Probably one of the most successful weekends we have had in deepest, darkest Somerset.

The vast array of amps used to get that tone just right.

We managed to lay down the guitar tracks for Stepping of the Train and Wrong Side of the Tracks, with Mark managing to lay down his on the first take (after a few hours of “Getting his tone right”!), and producing one of the most blistering guitar solo’s yet! All amps and speaker cabs were lined up, ready for Mark and Ben to test every possible variation; including an old, wooden, and defiantly retro ”box” amp (belonging to my brother, Tom), which Mark immediately fell in love with.

Along side this, we added a new intro to Wrong Side of the Tracks, with Mark and Ben producing riffs, tones and effects to transport you back in time. The 1960’s called guys, and they want their psychedelia back!

Finally on Sunday we set out to practice and learn a few covers, but all those thoughts were pushed to the side when the first jam produced a new song, a bit desert inspired, and a whole lotta rock. It’s over six minutes long (a rarity for us!), called “Anything More Than This (Never Could Be)” and we can’t wait for you all to hear it!

Hope to see you all soon!

A small, old valve amp that we found in Jack's attic! Sounds surprisingly good and is built from 5 pine trees

Yellowgroove @ The Joiners

We’ve recovered from our intense R’n’R period and got back into the groove last Wednesday night with an interview and unplugged session on Bournemouth’s local radio station, Hope FM. The session also included an exclusive preview of our final masters for the upcoming EP The Somerset Sessions, which will be available to download from our website from Monday. For gig-goers who purchase a copy of our debut single, you will receive the digital EP download for FREE! Hoorah!

In case you missed the radio interview, it did clash with Eastenders after all, we will be making the whole hour available to download, also for free, from our website. Stay tuned for that. Free stuff on free stuff.

Our leap back onto the live stage begins this Saturday at Eastleigh Recreation Ground, where we will be performing at the Young Persons day, for, er, young people. We’ll be bolting off in a cloud of Transit van dust shortly after to go and do some more recording in Somerset, but we will be back in time to entertain fresh freshers at Southampton University on Monday, for RAGfest.

There are plenty of other gigs booked up for the autumn-winter period, so if the fall of leaves is starting to get you down, take a look at our gigs page or myspace to check the listings, come down and see us, and get your wee hands on our debut EP!

Our thanks go out to all those who came down the Joiners on Saturday night for a great night of music. The free tasters of the Somerset Session EP were snapped up so eagerly that we completely ran out. However, you can now hear three new tracks from the EP in the music section or on our myspace page.

The Somerset Session EP will be available to download before the end of August, so keep checking back for more updates. The track-listing is confirmed.

1. Shoot You Down
2. These Times
3. Fading Out
4. Blood On The Flag

We are very sorry to say we are taking a few weeks off for the less good type of R’N'R. In our down time we will be working on even more new material that we all hope we can debut very soon and maybe release in another new EP. There are new dates for September and October in the gigs section including another show at the Hobbit.
