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 🙏

Hal, John, Lou & Matt

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.

First Gig As A Four Piece

After the video shoot last weekend we played our first gig as a four piece, with Hallam on lead vocals. And for this special first show Matt and John and I all sang lead on one song. We’ve had a great time putting this set together, and hope you enjoyed the new songs – as well as the old favourites and zombie songs. I wonder if we’ll get to play it again! Here are some photos of the night, taken by Richard Duffy-Howard and Mike Hood.
