Demo update and links to various

Just thought I’d post a little update on the progression of The Brilliantly Simple’s full-band, debut EP. Dan, Chris, Si and myself all met up at Peak Recordings last week to try and polish off the 4 track release, simply named; Blackboard. We got somewhere. But where that was, isn’t quite where we’d like to be. It’s kind of like ending up in the Channel Islands when you really want to be surfing in France. It’s nice and pleasant but not quite the pièce de résistance. But, we’re certainly en route. I reckon it’ll be one more session of tweaking and it should be ready to go. The artwork is done and I’ll be putting the first 100 together by hand. It’s imminent, so watch this space.

In other news, I went to watch Thrice, Glassjaw and Brand New the other evening. You can read my review of it here.

If you wish to pass some time or get out and see a show, our good friends Stagecoach and Los are playing a lot over the upcoming month. Check out their myspace pages for further details.

You may as well. What else are you going to do whilst you wait for the demo to be finished? Lock yourself away reading blog updates written by someone tirelessly battling the very scary realisation that sooner or later, he’s going to have to stop this nonsensical drivel and write another first person account of why a bilateral cochlear implant has changed someone’s ears forever? You're being stupid. Don’t be stupid. Go and watch some live music! But remember to wear some earplugs! Otherwise it’ll be you I’m writing it about for Cochlear magazine.
