Stadium (Live Rehearsal Demo)

Seeking Singer and Synth player - Rough Demo - Recorded with no mic partitioning. 

Black Swan (Demo)

Another live rehearsal demo with no mic partitioning (Keyboard Bass line added later) in order to find a SINGER & SYNTH player (25 to 45yr) interested in completing the band. 

Contact Ian or Matt here on Soundcloud.

Arpeggio (Live Rehearsal Demo)

This song was our first play through recorded at the excellent KMD studios in Chesham, Bucks during a rehearsal. The song wrote itself live as we played it. (I only had the sliding guitar riffs and a few arpeggios but no arrangement). The strings were added later in "post production" using Logic X. (If anyone knows how to get my lovely Akai strings onto my Macbook let me know?)

Also if anyone knows any Singers and Synths players - please message me and help me complete this band! Thanks, Ian (Gt) & Matt (Dr)

and Cheers Gary Bull, nice balance!


Between The Lines (Live Rehearsal Demo)

This song was our first play through recorded @KMD Studios, Chesham, Bucks during a rehearsal.

A rehearsal @ KMD Rehearsal Studios. Chesham.
2 x mics and a 20 minute recording via a Behringer Desk into Apple Logic X. There are no guitar o/dubs as I entered lead guitar riffs into a DD-20 delay and played rhythm guitar over them. Synths/Fx added post production.

The My Oh My (Demo)

"Out There" Live Demo Recordings with no Mic Partitioning. Synths/Strings added in "Post Production." 

Rehearsal Demos recorded to FIND a Singer, Bassist and Synth player. I'm currently looking to complete the band line up - which currently is me, Bard, on guitars and Animal on drums. In another life I was previously in a band signed to Boy Georges More Protein label.

It's a different way to write for me - just locking into the rhythm first, to create ideas on the guitar - but it's producing interesting ideas and soundscapes. 

Message us and come down for a jam. We're rehearsing out in the country in a great facility @ KMD in Chesham, Bucks - Last stop on the London Metropolitan tube line.

Influences: The Doors, Pink Floyd, Black Submarine, Verve, 
Janes Addiction, Soundgarden, Killing Joke, Velvet Underground, Joy Division, Tool, The Stranglers.
