Plans for the Band have dramatically changed, rather than recording all the EP's straight away we have descided to make album number three. We are currently working hard on said album, which we hope to have finished and printed soon after the summer. In the mean time we have one last show:
*Thursday (12th June) The Electo Acoustic Club are starting a brand new night and we have the privilege of headlining the first one:
CINEMA SONIQUE's focus will be on experimental and atmospheric music, including live performances mixed with multi-media: a feast for the eyes and ears, escaping the usual conventional and predictable formulae by celebrating music, which mixes different genres and influences, creating a mellower experience for the clubber.
The line up includes bands:
HOTEL DE VILLE, which is the musical vehicle of vocalist Rhett Brewer and pianist Dov Waterman. Taking inspiration from 60s French pop and film noir, Brewer and Waterman blend dramatic soundscapes with down-tempo percussion;
Show Without Punch, our fellow lost toys act back from their recent european jaunt.
The Johnny Parry Trio.
And films:
NATALIE TURNER: "Sfumato" and "1" HELEN WATKINS: "The Clearing" EBBA ERIKZON: Film tbc LUKE LOSEY: "i" (Producer: Maverick Litchfield-Kelly)

To prove that a small start has been accomplished on the new album here is the board in the studio with six ticks on it to represent the instruments that have been recorded on each song. Sadly we can admit there are many spaces left to fill.
