Clarky Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 (edited) FYI, our album "The life and death of ..." is out now on download. We are still debating whether to produce CDs or vinyl as the physical format. 10 songs, roughly 40 minutes, and very swampy! Its £3.99 as a download on Amazon or £7.90 (not sure why so much more) on iTunes [attachment=74107:51St_OzT...._SS500_.jpg] Amazon link: [url="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Life-Death-Explicit/dp/B004Q2G3OU/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_1"]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Life-Death-Explici...ef=pd_rhf_p_t_1[/url] Edited March 7, 2011 by Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted March 10, 2011 Author Share Posted March 10, 2011 As an update we've been told that we have to perform a very truncated set (30 minutes or so) as the promoter accidentally booked one too many bands (five), doh. Bit frustrating. We are on first at 8.30pm, it turns out, as its so complicated to soundcheck us (given size of band) its easiest if we s/c last and then leave everything set up for our set. If 30 minutes is too short a time to make the trek to see us, then next up is a much longer (60-75 minute) slot at the Hootananny in Brixton on 10th April (the promo blurb says "Stranger than Paradise present: 14 piece rock and roll burlesque gypsy voodoo jazz circus from RATTLIN' BONE, violin driven gypsy mahen starring the unequivocal chancery blame from THE GADJO CLUB, menacing dark folk goth punk from RASP THORNE AND THE BRIARS plus ethereal saucy minx PRINCESS KNICKERS") Cheers Clarky (the real one, not the pretender from Rainbow/Uriah Heep/Collosseum) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I assume you mean minutes not people with impaired speech We will have to stretch out our set to go much beyond an hour - we plan to do this with circus acts, fire-eaters etc (honestly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiří Mahen (December 12, 1882 – May 22, 1939) was a Czech novelist, playwright and essayist.
