howyiz,
right so - things are kinda busy these days with the old shyhhy records. 9 days to go - eep
Massey has been on the radio a couple of times now, and there’s a bit more publicity stuff coming up as we head into the last week before the release.
it’s all kinda exciting - even though there’s a couple of areas where it’d be better if we were a *little* bit more prepared - distro for one… - but eh - i’m sure it’ll all work out.

speaking of boobies, there’s be a party to the release (relief?) on saturday the 2nd - we were kinda hoping to do something big and proper for it, but at this stage it’s probably gonna be a session in shyhhy’s global hq (ie: my gaff - and ye all know where that is, right?)
there’ll be a proper mailout/invite soon - but here’s a heads up to keep that night free anyways.

in other news - could someone please convince me that i don’t need anymore guitars?
there’s a guy on thumped selling one that’s too cool & for cheap that i’m finding it difficult *not* to want it.
also got offered a vintage tele for cheap too i think the rock gods are conspiring against me - and it’s probably their fault that i ended up playing with a big muff all weekend*

* ok, that probably sounds filthy to non-guitar folk

if yer gettin’ cows…

on sunday, we shot the footage for a shyhhy records promo.
this involved ‘the lads’, booze, acting the eejit, cow masks and cameras.
basically the usual kind of session with the lads, but with homemade, cardboard cow masks and cameras rolling and encouraging some more enthusiastic eejit-ing.
the footage is for a promo video for “if yer gettin’ cows” - a version of five’s “if ya gettin down”, which was recored one similar evenin and seems popular, but is unreleasable due to being a cover.
we can stick it up on youtube when the vid is ready and thus kick off the internet publicity push.
soon.
probably.
in the mean time, here’s some behind the scenes photos on flickr
