Stirring up a storm!
Hello Hello. How nice to see that people have started using the site! That gives me all the more reason to write a blog without feeling like a friendless twerp! So thanks guys…
So…the album was released last monday. It’s a funny time for artists as much of the work has already been done so you kind of just sit back and watch the feedback come in. Speaking of which, this has been really positive so far. Mark Lemarr played ‘Seven day fool’ last week on his radio 2 show ‘Gods Jukebox’. We’re in the i-tunes ‘recommends’ list and there have been lots of great reviews and some really lovely and humbling messages from people everywhere showing a bit of love.
I popped down to ‘The Rainbow’ in Brum last week for a gig with the new Birmingham based project ‘Maylight’. It was my first gig with the group (who were only 1 gig older), and it looks like its going to be a fun writing project to get stuck into so watch this space.
I’m really excited about this fridays big show in The Town Hall, Birmingham. It’ll be the 1st time my band have played the entire new set which doesnt allow any gaps for breath! It’s the official album launch (although fear not, we are working on some rather delayed London dates) so we’ll be giving away some Tru Thoughts goodies and then there’s the delight of The Heritage Orchestra who are performing the music of Amon Tobin and with whom I’m going to sing a couple of tracks.
After that im going to let my hair down on saturday by attending my sisters fancy dress party with some chums. The theme is something inspired by your initials (now thats inspired!)…any ideas?… be nice!
Oh, and just in case you were wondering. We shot a really simple but lovely video with just me and Riaan Vosloo on Bass a couple of weeks ago that we’ve been meaning to put up on u-tube for those poeple who have no idea who were are. Except, I was really poorly the day of the shoot so i’ve been dragging my heals in order to get another one done in full healthy LP glory! But keep an eye out and see if you can guess if I get bullied into putting it online or not! In the meantime, we’re working on the next.
So have a great week y’all. Hopefully I’ll see many of you on friday and the rest soon after. LP x
