Its been 4 years since the last album was released, seems like just a few months ago to me...]]> http://bandofrain.com/news.html#64 Tue, 12 Apr 2011 00:00:00 -0700 Carving Space and Time in to Managable pieces - Band of Rain - Journal http://bandofrain.com/news.html#63 The downside is that even when you have done all that most people don't give a shit anyway, they just want to sell you an album etc...
I will persevere with Myspace a bit longer but it is severely trying my patience at the moment....What is this obsession with trying to be famous all the time?]]> http://bandofrain.com/news.html#63 Thu, 18 Nov 2010 00:00:00 -0800 Carving Space and Time in to Managable pieces - Band of Rain - Journal http://bandofrain.com/news.html#62 The difficulty I am having is that there are so many different directions that I want to go in...Do I make an album with several different types of music on it, or be patient and hope that I live long enough to make a few more?
It is enormous fun though, can't think of anywhere else I would rather be.
If I won the lottery I would give all the money to my accountant and say" Oi just pay the bills, I will be in the studio for the next 25 years"That said I may pop out for a pint now and then...
Its all going to plan, and at last I really feel like its all coming together.Keep you posted

I am in to it, and have made a start but there is never enough time..But we all suffer from that dont we.? The more labour saving devices we have , the less time we got.
I had a great time at The Restoration gig. Met Nick May and Harvey Bainbridge, two real gentlemen.I am looking forward to seeing the film they shot of us. We had a 45 minute slot but it seemed to dissapear really quickly...I felt like we were just getting warmed up when we had to go Whimwise were next though and they were on the button. I will go and see them again for sure check em out if you haven't already.
Harvey came on last, after blowin us away for about 45 minutes with his mastery of electronica...He started singin ! He was singing about " It might be day it might be night..." It was great Harvey...You are a champ!
Well I can smell the toast burning...There goes the smoke alarm....]]> http://bandofrain.com/news.html#61 Tue, 10 Aug 2010 00:00:00 -0700 Carving Space and Time in to Managable pieces - Band of Rain - Journal http://bandofrain.com/news.html#60 I have so many ideas going round in my head...in fact there is an album in there on top of the one I am working on.
Thanks to all you lovely people who read my rantings...I am sorry I haven't put anything here for a while.
All is good, but I have been very busy performing bits and pieces of other peoples albums. The rest of this year and the first half of next will be dedicated to Band of Rain, I think that something good is going to happen.

Tony...my dear brother if you read this...I miss you its great when we get together we really should do it more often
i am going now ..thank you more later and more frequently

Love

All we got to do now is hope that there still may be some places left to play...the old industry is not what it used to be. Getting tough now so most bands are getting day jobs if they didnt have one already!
4th album is taking a bit of time, but then I suppose we are not working to deadlines etc, it is underway however.
I will let you know a bit more about that when its a bit more "whole"

Got quite a few other projects on the go at the moment, but I like to be under pressure thats how it works sometimes.

Well off to the doctors now to find out why I keep getting cramp in my elbow.Hmm any suggestions, email em here huh ?

Thanks for watching...good night everyone

I will try to get the live thing going again too, I really want to play live again, but as you know the venues are all closing down and such, still you never know.]]> http://bandofrain.com/news.html#58 Mon, 02 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0800 Carving Space and Time in to Managable pieces - Band of Rain - Journal http://bandofrain.com/news.html#57 Just to let you know I'm still around...still not really sure what to do, so not doing mush really for fear of screwing it up. I have always (with hindsight) rushed in to band line ups, so going to get it absolutely right this time. It is important to note however, that the people I have worked with up till now have been a delight, but there were just complications .I have recorded so much music in the last 12 months, but frankly I have trashed most of it...just not going the way I want it to. I also like so many find myself with less and less time these days, but that will only make me work harder. I frankly do not see much happening this year, regards Band of Rain, but you can be sure we will come out fighting in 09!

I am personally doing a lot of recording with other people especially Mooch, I thoroughly enjoy the Mooch sessions, and fingd myself singing a lot more these days.So there is still a lot going on even though it does not seem so on the surface...trying to make the next album very special..
bye for now

I am trying to find the time to get some new photos of myself and Andy but ...well you know?
I am spending every spare moment in the studio and hopefully what comes out will form the basisi of our new music.
Thanks for reading this
Byee
