FOXIE'S EVER SO NICELY RE-BRANDED 'RANT' AKA THOUGHTS OF AN ANGRY PHILOSOPHER:
Sounds nothing like any of my other rants... promise
1. NEWS
Those of you who follow us closely... yeah, I know it's hard to believe it's true that some of you do - but I am told by the man who counts the website and facebook hits that some of you do... anyway we do have some new news:
1.1 Lizzie has left the band due to unforeseen personal circumstances. We wish her well and we are currently auditioning her replacement. In the meantime, Mark 'madfiddler' Knight has rejoined the fold until we can find a permanent bow merchant. So, if you think you're suited to what we do and can attack those fiddle strings... get in touch.
1.2 Bleeding Hearts are soon to start working with a nice couple of chaps called Paul and Marcus at CN Management - who will be 'managing' us. Yes, that is most definitely hard to believe because if you ask my boss at work he thinks I am the hardest person he has ever had to manage. So, we prefer to call it a mutually beneficial partnership. Anyway, their management company will, from now on, be responsible for the business end of what we do; so we can concentrate on making the music and getting pissed. We are really excited about this development!!!! Yarp!
1.3 As part of our 're-branding' exercise we are henceforth to be considered 'Anthemic Folk'. It's the same as punk-folk-rock but easier to sell I am told (-:
2. FOLK N GLORY
Folk 'n' Glory is 11 tracks long. Having been done 1,2,3,4, stylee all together in a room through hot valves straight to our budget pc - and it's got a lo-fi charm all of its own. We went for that 60s/70s vibe with band in a room having fun feel and we thinks that's exactly what we've got. Folk 'n' Glory has quite a retro feel to the music and artwork, which we think you'll be pleased with, we are. Deffo folkier than Politics and on a par with fiddle-punkin' 'Propaganda' for that soundscape to the revolution Foxie is planning every day. Yay, that's getting closer too by the way...
It's received rave reviews in Rock n Reel and Froots as well as a multitude of other mags and online sources... we hear that one mag didn't like it much so we were gonna' send them a horses head through the post but it didn't fit into the jiffy bag so I didn't bother.
4. WE IS ON I-TUNES ETC ETC.
Yeah, you know we are, go check it out or do it the old fashioned way and visit our 'DOSHSWAP' page or come to a Bleedin' gig.
5. FORUM.
Contact 'keeping it nice since 1972 Ewan Porter hyphen Stevens' if you wanna tell him a story... we wish he would tell us one 'cus that blog of his is a bit out of date (like I can talk with my lax attitude towards this website).
6. FINALLY.
CN Management will be working on 2013 gigs that will be posted up as soon as stuff starts getting confirmed, so until then, we hope to see some of you, all of you, new friends, old friends, lost friends at a gig soon, when they eventually happen, so don't be strangers!
