Thanks Folks!

Posted on by Loudhailer Music

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:

The official Blazing Zombies video was filmed in the Meka Space gallery and Black Lion in Bridlington and O’Riley’s Music Venue in Hull. 

We had loads of fun making the video. We played our first gig as a four piece at O’Riley’s and invited the audience to dress as zombies for the live shots. Our fans certainly came up with the goods. You were terrifying!

We have a stunning new single ready for release titled ‘Blazing Zombies’ and it’s one of the best things we have recorded to date. It’s crying out for a crazy video and it would be such good fun to get all our old friends and fans involved to help us out. We have booked O’Rileys Music Venue, Beverley Road, Hull for the shoot on Sunday evening April 27th. It’s free entry, the only condition is that you come dressed up e.g. as a blood soaked zombie, Halloween character, or something from the Mexican Day of the Dead. It will be terrific fun, the bar will be open, (but not free) you can drink alcohol (not blood please) and we will play you a few of the new songs from our forthcoming album. It promises to be a great night out so please get the Heinz tomato sauce out, rip up an old shirt and get on down.

Free Entry, doors 7.00 pm, music 7.30 pm, event over by 10pm. Please note that by coming to the event you agree to be filmed and footage on which you may appear can be used, published and broadcast as part of the ‘Blazing Zombies’ music video for both commercial and/or non-commercial purposes.

Red Guitars Live Videos – More Classic and New Songs

Posted on by Loudhailer Music

Thanks to Tim Bourne for his videos from the 2023 tour. First up, the last track of the last gig of the tour, the encore, Paris France.

In Tim’s words, “Red Guitars played a scorching final gig of the tour tonight in Brighton, blowing away even the high winds and heavy rain lashing down outside! I sang along as if I could actually sing (not just shout). I bounced along (as if my knees were young again). Fingers crossed we get to do this all again and soon, please, folks!”

The second new track, Trickledown at Brighton Chalk

And the third of the new tracks we played on this tour, Ten Seconds of Fun, at The 100 Club

Video Shoot Photos

Posted on by Loudhailer Music

We had a brilliant time filming the Good Technology 2023 video with film maker Simon Baxter.

We’ve been saving these photos until the video is released – which it is, so here they are, have a look through the gallery, photos by Richard Duffy-Howard.

Watch the video which accompanies the extended re-mixed and augmented edition of Good Technology:

“Just listening to a pre-release copy of Red Guitars extended 2023 remix of ‘Good Technology.’ And I don’t believe what I’ve heard. By a country mile, one of the greatest pieces of music I’ve heard in YEARS.” London Peaky

“Exceptional work: music and video. This is one of THE absolute musical highlights of 2023: a majestic and powerful development of this iconic track… and profoundly moving.” Junkyard of Silenced Poets

“40 years on … this song is actually more powerful, more poignant, more relevant and more vital than it was back then. Arresting, ear bending and original, I am convinced that if it was released today it would be seized upon by hip indie influencers as one of the next big things. The new video is especially jaw dropping, cleverly splicing images of the band performing now and then with disturbing warnings of where climate chaos, war and racism will lead us if we don’t take urgent united action to stop it.” R*E*P*E*A*T Magazine

Good Technology 2023
