first of the new children....

So the recording for the Covering All Basses EP underway with Malcolm is going well! This is an EP of four songs, two of which have been stolen from earlier more famous versions, and two of which have on had their more famous titles stolen. Here is a sneak preview of the first song on the EP. Enjoy!

Apologies to Tamsin

A shout out to Tamsin when I complained during the interval of our two part set in Peterborough last week for her er, shouting out. It turned out she was sat next to one of the speakers which meant noone in the audience could hear her but I could which was a bit disconcerting. Anyway I apologised afterwards and she had a great night anyway! Merry Christmas Tamsin!

The Table Bash

Although its the Christmas season there's been some wedding news to put up (not related to any of us though!)

We played at the wedding for Pete (who like me has a show on 209radio) and Jill last night which was a pretty mad. The PA wasn't quite specc'd to requirement so James had to play by bashing a table instead of bass playing. It was pretty good fun and we wanted to steal that table with us as it seemed great quality. The next time we do an outdoor gig in December though appropriate finger ware may be required. Hopefully we'll have some photos up - the setup was pretty special.

In other news I've been asked to play at a wedding as the bride walks down the aisle next year, which is probably the most high pressured gig I think I've ever been offered. I was drunk at the time so said yes, so I'll have to see how it goes!

States trip

OK - so its looks like Rishi is off to the US for a month or two - we can look into trying some Karmadillo shows then! Around Febuary in Chicago, Boston, New York and San Francisco or Palo Alto is the plan. The tricky bit is now - making it all happen!

New members to the family?

So, the shows with Malcolm on bass have gone really well, so he might be coming on board for good as an addition to the rhythm section.

In addition there may be another local Cambridge song writing dude popping on the Karmadillo Collective bus.

We'll know for sure next March!
