The Mighty Fall

Well the new EP is out. The original 50 nice coloured (Pink, Orange, Green, Blue and Purple) CDs I believe have all gone now and I quickly had to press up another 20 not so nice black CDs (there may be two or three of these left).

If you didn't get a copy it is available to download in MP3 format for the tiny sum of $3.99 from

DEADLINK

So there we are all hyped up and ready to launch into writing and recording EP2 when disaster strikes. E goes and messes one of his fretting fingers up at work and can't properly play for a couple of weeks and I go and get myself Tonsilitis and have been mostly in bed for the last 3 days.

So that's that until everyone is better again.

Right where's the Lemsip

Where did it go

Humm.. I did post a new blog item last week, but it seems to ahve disappeared off the site. Bizarre that.

Anyway, Happy New Year.

The Hair Thieves have regrouped for the new year and are finally putting the finishing touches to the new EP.

The track listing for which will be (not necessarily in this order)

1. Apotemnophilia
2. Break Casino
3. Girl with two names - Acoustic
4. Boeotia

The aim is to finish up any additional recording over the next couple of days and spend about a week mixing and re-mixing it. So hopefully next weekend we should be at a point to start producing the actual disks and mailing them out.

The artwork is also currently being put together as well.

So if you have applied for a free copy expect one sometime in early February. If you haven't applied for a free copy, goto http://www.hairthieves.com and join the mailing list and I'll send you details on how to get a copy.

Apotemnophilia has been receiving favourable reviews from a review site and others who have heard it. We have been tweaking it a bit based on their comments.

My favourite comment on it so far has been from Mr Robin Page whom summed it up with the following comment.

"Fantastic. For some reason I want to chase gibbons with a chainsaw... hmmmm."

Anyway, best get back to it....

Grrrr!!!!!!!!!

It's been a while since the last update.

If you have been following the Hair Thieves website, you'll know all about the announcement of the additional member. There may be more announcements soon.

Musically, we are mostly taking December off. I'm just tinkering with a couple of tracks for the EP. Doing some strings for one of the tracks and trying to finish the lyrics for another.

We shall reconvene in the new year.

Have a good Christmas and a Happy New Year

Long time.....

This is rumour control, here are the facts.

Not as much music has been completed in the last week and a half. A couple of potential track 4 for the EP have been started and a few others have been thought about in my head. Some of these will surface later. (And I haven't even played Pro Evo 5 since Sunday).

Some work has been done on tarting up the three tracks so far.

However, last night work commenced on the possibly untitled, possibly titled "Fuzzy" track 4. I don't want to give too much away about this track at the moment, lets just say it is more of a team effort and leave it at that for now....

Right I'm off to have a go and sorting some sort of arrangement for track 4.

Later

Slippery Slope to Monday

Well its Friday afternoon and I'm in danger of failing the task of 4 songs in a week. I'm happy with what I've done on the three so far, I even finished the first draft of lyrics for one of them.

They all still need a bit of work and in one case re-recording from scratch. Well I've got a month to finish it so i can start sending them out the first week in December, plus I need to get the others to play on some of them.

Right I'm off to start track 4 and see how far I can get in the next two hours. I can't see me getting a lot of time this weekend to do much music what with other commitments.

More possibly over the weekend, or possibly Monday.

A Nice Cup of Tea

Having a quick cup of tea so thought I'd do Thursday update quickly.

Things are plodding along. Song number three has been started. I've got a long intro and the verses and pre chorus sorted, just need to sort out a chorus type section and possibly a bridge or extended instrumental section or something.

I have a provisional title for it and I've started writing some lyrics and have been busy researching the topic, since the title was jotted down whilst watching late night telly a long time ago and I can't remember much about it. Very interesting if somewhat dark subject matter. Not festive in the least. The he he.

Unsure about what to do for song four at the moment. I might just finish one of the ideas I've been kicking about for a while.

Oh well back to it...
