Back to CB2

This Wednesday (7th April), for the first time in over ten years, we’ll be playing at CB2, Cambridge, as part of Improvizone.

Do join us if you can.

Video from last two Improvizone gigs

The Vimeo pages are here and here. Another two outings for the Juno, now triggered from a Moog MP-201 pedal, and Mike continues to bring new pedals along, most recently an Eventide TimeFactor.

Bandcamp

We’ve put most of our catalogue up on our Bandcamp page.

Bandcamp is a great service that allows musicians to sell directly to their fans. It also offers downloads in much higher quality formats than other services - up to and including lossless formats such as FLAC, so for example you can now go and get Some Of These Numbers Mean Something in 24 bit FLAC, better than CD quality!

The downloads are also cheaper on Bandcamp. Well, to be accurate, the downloads can be as expensive as the band wants them to be, but I’ve set ours so you pay about what we would get from iTunes for a sale - because on Bandcamp we get all the money (none goes to Apple etc.) we can afford to do that and not lose out.

We’ll also be putting up most of our podcast tracks on Bandcamp from now on. The podcast will remain as 128kbit mp3s (i.e. low quality by today’s standards) but you’ll be able to download the higher quality versions from Bandcamp if you want.

New album progress

The new Darkroom album is progressing well. The eagle-eyed among you may have noticed that my last.fm profile shows me listening to some cryptically named Darkroom tracks in various orders over the last few days - that’s me trying to get the play order right. I think I’ve nailed it.

It should be said that Mike hasn’t heard much of this yet, so it could be all back to the drawing board soon.

But I like it.
