Current mood:depressed about not having been drunk in 2 days

So it's a year later, what the fuck have I done? well I uploaded the last track of the advent calendar 1 year late, so that was cool.

We still haven't released our 7th record, but that's being dealt with, you can now get it on amazon as a shitty MP3, and i-Tunes too, but we hope to release it properly some time this year.

I moved to Singapore in April to make video games, so that means we haven't rehearsed in a while...! we will do some shows in the UK and Europe in July, meanwhile I have a weird SF adventure going on out here, with Sludgefeast Singapore, one of the tacks can be heard on our profile right now. Its odd because I couldn't easily find anyone who could give the songs the right kind of feel, at one rehearsal our song "nothing to say" sounded more like funk than asshole-punk-rock.

So I decided to write some songs for a duo, where the parts played by the second person would be limited in scope, allowing the super adventures of rock to continue with anyone who was into it. So yeah I think I have found someone, you can hear her doing back ups on the new track. The tracks are usually drums and synth, but sometimes drums and guitar, or drum machine guitar an synth. Drum machine is always intended to sound as synthetic as possible, because I fucking hate drum machines, so the more it sounds like a gameboy or C64 and the less it sounds like a Dr. Rhythm the better.

So yeah, I guess there will be an 8th album coming to the world at some point, currently I plan for it to be a mixture of the two line ups. 50/50 duo and 3 piece. If we can get our duo up to spec we will play some shows out here (thats the intention) but there are like no places to play, the live music scene in singapore is really fucking poor.

actually I guess it would be our 9th record, because number 8 is ll ready to go, but it will be downloadable only, its the complete 100 songs recorded live in a day session, I guess you could imagine it as the expanded version of shitrock motherfuckers, with a few tracks missing.

The duo sounds good. But more it feels more like a demo version of something before it gets re-recorded.

Props for getting your shit together and getting some tracks done. Drum machines sound real shitty (in a bad way) but I guess drummers aren't exactly beating a path to your door. Hey - who the fuck am I to criticise anyway? July gigs? Hope so.....

crap double drum machine hate....hmmmm, maybe this was a bad idea....how does the keyboard and real drums compare then? I think its a bit crapper! the guitar / drums that should appear in a couple of weeks will hopefully fair better....maybe its all a bit out of context here out of the live duo experience...or maybe its just shit. Probably the later. Anyway I wont be deterred, I will just try harder to suck less.
