00054 // 13/12/12

my new album, juice, is now available. you can download it for free from here and you can buy the ltd edition cdr (featuring letterpress artwork by a sparrow by water) for £4 from here. because i've made this new album i thought it best to play at least once to air some of the new songs, so i played shangri-la at the railway hotel on the sixth of december. here is what i played:

my life is starting over again
wwf
just like pigpen
i wanna be r stevie moore too!
song for the season
the outdoor type
e for effort
i told him it was wrong
if you see her, give her hell
island in the sun
marty feldman eyes

i'm going to be playing live regularly again in the new year and i already have ideas for the next album, so keep checking here or my twitter (@tdb_andrew) for updates. thanks to everyone who's already bought or downloaded the new album.

00053 // 17/07/12

i woke up on saturday morning to an email offering a last minute opportunity to open for the bobby mcgee's in southend. the new band still needs a few more rehearsals so charlot webster and i decided to do half a set each of solo material. neither of us have played since the pre-hiatus tumbledryer babies gig last december so we were both rusty and underrehearsed but half a set each felt doable. she was brilliant as ever; i had to abandon a song after one line because i couldn't remember the words. i played:


wwf
just like pigpen
i told him it was wrong
tell me what to do
island in the sun
marty feldman eyes

speaking of new band, i have been writing songs with charlot since christmastime and we will be performing them together as red sails for the first time at southend pier festival 2012.

finally, the long-overdue tumbledryer babies 'pledgemusic exclusive' extended player will be available for free download soon. it is called golden boy and it's nearly finished and i hope you like it.

see you down the end of the pier.
