Now Is The Time!

After delays, twists and turns a plenty, the Now Is The Time EP has finally landed on iTunes

Jazz musician, composer & writer Steve Thompson said of the EP: "Brilliant music. Brilliant approach... 'all the things you are' is a fantastic standard but it doesn't necessarily reflect our musical upbringing/era whereas the songs you've chosen presumably do and filtered through jazz sensibility they sound fresh and relevant...."

The songs we chose to cover on the EP are 'Our Lips Are Sealed' originally recorded by the Go-Go's (1981) & Fun Boy Three (1983), 'The Zookeeper's Boy' originally recorded by Mew in 2006 and 'The Killing Moon' originally recorded by Echo & The Bunnymen (1984)

Incidentally, our version of the 'The Zookeeper's Boy' was recently featured by Italian DJ Simone Vimercati on his show & podcast Jazz It Up!

Quick, undefinitive, end of term report :-) ....

Jade is roughing it in the Caribbean courtesy of P&O, David Crellin is editing a documentary and preparing for a stage play early 2009 (will keep you posted) and I'm about to recommence recording on the Nearlys album

You may have noticed that the website's had a revamp in preparation for the new year and also in response to our growing roster

Speaking of which - the first of our two new artists has started recording as evidenced below....

Dave Peters is an amazingly talented rock guitarist, vocalist & songwriter. His 3 track EP is due for release 2009. As you'd expect from someone who's musical influences are Chuck Berry, Dave Edmunds, George Harrison & Carl Perkins, Dave will be bringing Rock & Roll, Blues and original R&B to our very eclectic company
