ORANGE TREE, RIVER PEOPLE, THE BLACK BOHEMIAN & SEX MADNESS!





Wow, looking at FRIZZ TV’s latest Episode brings back good memories of the last UK tour and really makes me look forward to the November UK Tour. Hope we can try some of the new songs that we have been working on in the recording studio...





We record at Gizzard Recording (www.gizzardrecording.net) which is an analogue tape studio. That means we don’t record digitally, instead we get that warm sound of tape that all those records had before computers started taking over...





You can really hear the difference. Ed Deegan is the engineer there, and he really knows what he’s doing. Raphael Mann is in the producer's chair, so we can’t loose...





We are actually recording 4 albums right now. I love writing songs, and have stopped counting how many I have in my drawer. So we have taken 30 of them that fitted in with the different albums' concepts...





There is the RIVER PEOPLE album, which I think is gonna be the most passionate of the 4 LP’s. It is all about people who live near water, and rivers in particular - which happens to include most cities. Isn’t it interesting that almost any major city you think of has a river in it...




The second LP we are doing is titled ORANGE TREE. The idea behind this record is to fill it with playful songs and beautiful childlike melodies. I love songs that contrast sweet melodies with profound often dark lyrics. This record is my personal favorite...





Then THE BLACK BOHEMIAN album deals with ideas and myths about culture- Black culture in particular. This album is the furthest along, and likely to be finished first...





But our next album will be the SEX MADNESS record. It will include the track most people say is their favorite of mine “Cant Get No P****”
It is due out in 2011. I hope the others can be released very soon as well...
