Beyond the Blues Thank You

Thank you to everyone who has bought and shared our new single ‘Beyond the Blues’ this week, for supporting new original music and for great comments, all very much appreciated. Some of you may remember the tune from our last tour. For the single, we recorded it with Hal’s original lyrics. This is his backstory: “It’s both a celebration and a lament, about age, death and the passing of cultural icons. Seeing how the passage of time makes the past recede, I was feeling conscious of the way that the cultural power of rock music was slipping into history, hence all the name drops referring to the heyday of rock, psychedelia and hippydom – when these things all felt so vital and relevant. (See if you can spot ’em all!).”

If you enjoy our music, please help us get the word out, follow us, and and pass it on 🙏

Video filmed by Simon Baxter of Factor Fifty Films. If you’d like to buy the single we’d be very grateful. It’s on all the usual digital platforms, and Bandcamp is the one we recommend.

We filmed the video at O’Rileys, Hull. It’s an independent venue where we play, rehearse and have recorded the drum tracks for the new album. We’ve been back there this week recording the last few album backing tracks.

Podcast Chat to Greg in Texas

I was invited to talk to Texas podcaster Greg Shanks for his Pale Blooms And Beyond show the other weekend. So, here I am burbling away about Red Guitars and other musical escapades. Thanks to Greg for the invitation.

I watched a few of his videos, very entertaining and insightful, Paul Trynka and Dave Wolfenden both notably good, so have a click around his channel for more. (Lou)

Thanks Folks!

Thanks to everyone who has watched, listened to, bought or shared our new single Blazing Zombies so far. It’s been great fun to record it and make the video.

But there is a serious side to the song too. This is Hal’s backstory:

“Blazing Zombies is part raucously cathartic rant, stirred by so much anger, disaffection, and hatred in the air, and part personal reflection on our complicity in the systems that drive that division and disconnectedness – and the dreadful effects that it can have. A response to the everyday dissonance of extreme mundanity (‘please prepare to push your trolley off the end of the conveyor’ playing on repeat in a shopping mall) and apocalypse (‘please prepare for climate catastrophe’ playing on repeat on the news). At the end of the song the zombies express retrospective sorrow and regret at the havoc caused – a smidge of ironic humour and optimism survives!”

Yep! Please help us get the word out and pass it on:

Two Years Ago!

Two years ago we were in the middle of our first UK tour since 1984. We had a whale of a time! Seems longer than two years ago 😮 Here’s a selection of photos from the tour – O’Rileys dress rehearsal, Leeds, Manchester, Glasgow, Hull, Brighton, London and Birmingham.
