Just got back from London, really productive weekend. Spoken to a few prospective new management companies and need to have a good think about what my best options are. I've got a few more further meetings in London later in the week so will post my thoughts in due course. All really positive stuff!
The video below is a really rough video of a live and acoustic version of 'Never Say Never', filmed in Leeds on someone's mobile phone! Crazy! We have been asked to perform for a live BBC documentary in early January with the full-band, so will post once it's all done and sparkly! Playing two gigs tonight! Bit mad, but we've got one at Dr Wu's on Call Lane and one at a new bar opening in the city centre (Leeds). The String quartet can't make it due to important orchestral duties, but the rest of the band will be there and folkin it up...
Caught some of the bands at James Lambert-Martin's gig in Camden at the weekend whilst I was down there. The sound was much to be desired but respect to the bands that battled through it regardless. Fox Cubs were pretty tight but sounded and looked very much like the Killers and every other band of that ilk - nothing particularly new to the ears. Then again, it seems that A&R are shitting themselves at the moment and bend-over anything that's got a proven track record of selling records (which the Killers certainly have), presumably due to the ever-evolving digital market in which we live and love. Maybe I'm just being a cynic? Maybe i'm speaking the truth...
