Hi all
Myself and 2 friends have been working on this for a little while. These tunes are the first fruits of our labour.
Please have a listen, one and all.

Sounds good Rob! Did you record at home or in a studio?

Combination. Rosanna and Black Horizon were studio produced (if in something of a hurrey) whereas The 2 instrumentals were recorded and produced by yours truely.
We will have another full vocal track up next week (Chemical Hands) which will be (until such times as our producer moves house and moves his studio) recorded and produced by Legion - in my study. I have every intention of making it sound ace, even though I'll only be using free software.

Sounds ace. Need a label?

Yes, but one that can get us good and regular gigs in Guildford and London between now and March.

Kudos to you!
You're another one with a nice
timbre...

In that case, offer withdrawn. Sorry, you were thinking of a proper label, not an "excuse for a" label.

I'm not entirely sure what that means, but I'm pretty sure it was "that was a valient attempt at singing"

Valiant and executed (how goffix) with aplomb

Why thankyou kind lady! A voice such as mine accepts such praise with jubulence.
Yes, I had to look up aplomb

Thank you all. Our real trouble is getting live shows. We need a promotor based in the captital that will put on untried goth bands....
Any one know anyone else?

Contact smaller venues directly with a copy of the CD and a short (A4-max bio).
Whore your product and take anything that isn't pay-to-play to get your foot on the ladder.

Well, MeanMusik will help you at every available opportunity if I have any say in the matter (which I do
). We're just starting ourselves up in the UK though, so maybe give us a little time as we aren't quite capable of distinguishing our arses from our elbows just yet

Gigs in Guildford are quite hard due to lack of real good venues but try the following.
The Star, The Boileroom, City Club Jospehs Rd and the Uni are a little more live music orientated at the moment (Rubix) your best best is the following which are close to Guildford, the West End Centre in Aldershot (contact Barney Jeavons) The Tumbledown Dick, Farnborough (
http://www.quarantineclub.co.uk )or the Agincourt in Camberley.
Good luck.

I hadn't thought of the Agincourt. Thanks for that!

Seconded. I can't say I know a single band who consider pay-to-play venues, and I would urge bands to not bother with that sort of event unless there's a
very good reason (charity, etc).

We have a new song up for anyone interested...

As Cristophe said...
Not bad at all. And now you have a legal evidence how much you love Rosetta Stone
Keep on!

Well I'm sure that Rosetta Stone have never heard the word plagiarism!

Am I the only one who thinks that despite more punch and general energy in the Rosetta Stone cover the original is better than the cover here?
Compare!
Unnerving MIDI-fiddles, and somehow the *punch* is missing, there fly no sparks from the Rosetta Stone version.
It's a bit *pflrz!*

I like both, but for different reasons.
