Shogun - Lotus (my band, live vid)

[Wil]

Heya

Here's my band, Shogun, performing a very stripped down version of a track from our soon to be finished album (mixing this week). I'm the miserable looking bugger with the Strat, bass duties are being handled by my younger brother and his nice G&L.

We recorded this a few months ago live in a bit of a rush, and just got it back from some friends of ours who shot the footage/synched it with the audio - I havent actually watched it with audio yet!

*Our drummer normally plays a bigger kit and hits like Bonham, so he looks a bit uncomfortable here playing "nicely"

Lovely song. I like it a lot.

I'm listening on ear buds and the bass sounds especially good (Basschat bias notwithstanding...!). Props to your younger brother on that front. Nice vocal too. And a cello! Cool. I like what that brings to it - and nicely subtle too.

The synching is a wee bit off in places between the audio and video, but that's just me picking nits...

I'd be well chuffed with it

Cheers dude! We did a few takes and they spliced together the footage to the best audio take, but yes I've noticed a few points where the sync is out now I've watched it. Honestly I wish we'd shot this to the album track with full drums and backing vox, it sounds a lot fuller (I also wish I'd worn a hat and smiled a bit!), but it is what it is

it is a great song and comes across really well as it is TBH , it sounds clean and crisp , a fuller version might be good also , but I like this anyway .

Thank you, very kind

For one of our proper album tracks with some real drumming on (I dont think the live vid really does our wonderful drummer much justice!), check this out:
