We recorded this in Indianapolis with AJ and its got a real mid western twang. This was recorded at Static Shack, engineered and mixed by native Hoosier Alan Johnson and we even went with his mastering (with due respect to M'sieur Lynch, our regular dude) so we could keep that True Mid Western Flavour. MMMM....smells like.....8 lane highways and cheap petrol. Ah yes.

We were aiming for a bit of Tom Petty vibe. In fact it's working title was 'pretty petty' hows that for trivia eh?

Big props to Travellin Mac, Mark Novak, who gets official Associate Producer credit on this one.

Great fun. And yep they approved the art.

Woot.

Now to clarify - this single won't appear on the next album.

It will appear on the album after the next album.

If we ever release the next album that is.

If we don't, which we might not, then I guess it will appear on the Next album, as the album that would have been next might become the one after. unless it doesn't come out at all.

I'm glad I could clear that up.

Our latest single 'I'm Better off without you' has been mixed and mastered (thanks AJ) and I'm in the process of releasing it. Part of that is doing a cover for the single.

I did this pic but it's subject to review by our distributor who thinks it's not parody enough to not be copyrighted.

I'm willing to be corrected but I'm fairly sure that this counts as parody :-) I mean, in the original there's a woman and a house. in this, he's ditched the farm for Vegas! What's not to like about this! I even made him smile! Sort of.

I'm not convinced that this isn't fair usage/parody, but...the easiest thing will be just to do a new pic.

Hmmm.

Copyright seems to be on my mind a lot over the last few days.

The only downside is that I can't share the new song with you until I get this sorted. 

Hmmm.

New pic.

Bah humbug :-)

Woohoo!

I've not been blogging much as I've been busy negotiating the release of our album held hostage in KC.

It's going well I think. I haven't had this much fun in years.

In this age of Self Propelled Artists, it's important to remember that you are your own first line of defence. There's no external person sitting around making sure that you're protected.

It's important that you do your own research and use some simple logic when trying to navigate your way through the pointy end of Music.

Be kind, but be bold. 

It's Rosie's turn in the barrel this week as he and Mr Wizard take to the Radio Waves with David Roman for a chat and some track spinning.

Tuesday night, Australian time, which is like monday morning for our mates in the states.

Have you noticed that Women are taking over? I for one welcome our new overlords.

I mean, even Mad Max played Second Apocalyptic Banana. It's a new age fella's, get with the program :-)

This Saturday night we're joined by two awesome singers who just happen to also be Women! 

Ms Jo, you know. well you ought to. If you don't go listen to Push Me Away.

Jo's been away doing Secret Mothering Business and now she's back to visit with us for a show. Yay.

To add to the awesomeness, Ms Bec Henry is going to open the show with original songs. Yep that 's right. We like original acts for (reasons we should not have to explain here on our own blog).

This is good stuff. We are having all the fun.
