<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">it was the first time i've played live for a while but it was all pretty relaxed and i enjoyed it. also on the bill were cusack, lost harbours and boss caine so thanks to those people for letting me share their bill. thanks also to tom, lance & graham for joining me in shoop shoops and handclaps on <i>tell me what to do</i>, it was a job well done on their part.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">my show will be on a monday night once a month. i hope to have guests on once in a while to break up the sound of my own voice and to make it a bit more varied, plus i like playing good records so it's well worth tuning in for the music. you can listen via the ship full of bombs website which is <a href="http://sfob.co.uk/" target="_blank">sfob.co.uk</a> - please do, it's nice to know people are listening.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">it's been a bit quiet in terms of tumbledryer babies news lately but i still plan to put out some more music by the end of this year so keep an eye on this blog and on <a href="http://twitter.com/tdb_andrew" target="_blank">twitter</a> for updates.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">i made a record last month as part of the <a href="http://rpmchallenge.com/" target="_blank">rpm challenge</a>, which is where you write and record an album entirely within the month of february. it is my fourth year of doing this, having made <i>simulacra</i> (2010), <i>nondomesticity</i> (2011) and <i>i make melodies</i> (2012) previously. this year's effort, <i>well</i>, is available to download for free from <a href="http://thetumbledryerbabies.com/album/well" target="_blank">here</a>. i've never written anything particularly good as a result of the rpm challenge, but it's a good way to stretch yourself and i think it's as good an exercise in writing as any. not that i've improved as a result of making an album in twenty-eight days, i mean i work pretty quickly anyway, but at the very least i end up with a few more albums in the can for posterity. and hopefully at least one of you thinks the rpm albums are worth a listen.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">last night i opened for my first tooth at the railway hotel. after tom burgess played a handful of songs, i played:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>let's do this</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>first song on the setlist</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>happy birthday richard hell</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>it's all for you</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>chelsea hotel #2</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>i told him it was wrong</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>just like pigpen</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i>my body the temple and i the iconoclast</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">thanks to tom and lance for booking me for shangri-la once again. i've got one or two more tumbledryer releases planned for this year, but i am really going to concentrate on (among other things) making a record with my other band, <b>red sails</b>. i had hoped to make a tumbledryer collaborations type album this year, but when i finally do get round to it i want to make sure it is good, so i will wait until i can commit to it properly. in the mean time, you can download every tumbledryer babies release for free from <a href="http://thetumbledryerbabies.com/" target="_blank">thetumbledryerbabies.com</a>, and if you want to help me pay for more drum machines and other instruments i don't know how to use then buy my 7"s and cds from <a href="http://thetumbledryerbabies.com/merch" target="_blank">here</a>. peace out x</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">it was a pleasure to play at shangri-la last night. tom burgess played a few songs to open the night, then came a set from <a href="http://littlepenguinmusic.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">little penguin</a> (great visuals) who over the last couple of years has had quite some influence on me, not least by introducing me to the thingamagoop which you can hear on pretty much all my records since 2010. <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px;">i forgot the words to the outdoor type and dinosaur egg which was quite pathetic, but being joined on stage by tom on guitar for wwf and graham on vocals for island in the sun made up for that. </span>i was followed by my old friend <a href="http://gregkiss.com/" target="_blank">greg kiss</a> who played a new song of his as well as some old favourites which made be very happy. it was a good night. i played these songs:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">next month is february which means i'll be undertaking the <a href="http://rpmchallenge.com/" target="_blank">rpm challenge</a>. this is where you have to make an album of ten songs or thirty-five minutes of music (i know which of those i'm aiming for) from start to finish in the month of february. it's my fourth year of doing this - you can download my <a href="http://thetumbledryerbabies.com/album/simulacra" target="_blank">2010</a>, <a href="http://thetumbledryerbabies.com/album/nondomesticity" target="_blank">2011</a> and <a href="http://thetumbledryerbabies.com/album/i-make-melodies" target="_blank">2012</a> efforts for free. i urge you to join in too. my rpm2013 album will be available on the first of march, after which i'm hoping to have some live dates lined up so i can debut some of the new songs. see you in march.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">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 (<a href="http://twitter.com/tdb_andrew" target="_blank">@tdb_andrew</a>) for updates. thanks to everyone who's already bought or downloaded the new album.</span>the tumbledryer babies:http://www.blogger.com/profile/10501383613971095492noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225878748028960180.post-40411710829254199622012-07-17T04:27:00.002-07:002012-07-17T04:31:29.830-07:0000053 // 17/07/12<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">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 <a href="http://www.myspace.com/charlotwebster">charlot webster</a> 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:</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">speaking of new band, i have been writing songs with charlot since christmastime and we will be performing them together as <b>red sails</b> for the first time at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/261144610653746/">southend pier festival 2012</a>.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">finally, the long-overdue tumbledryer babies 'pledgemusic exclusive' extended player will be available for free download soon. it is called <i>golden boy</i> and it's nearly finished and i hope you like it.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>wwf</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>happy birthday, richard hell</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>beautiful mental patient</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>chelsea hotel #2</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>if you see her, give her hell</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>my true geology is not stone but fear</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>dinosaur egg</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>marty feldman eyes</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>there's no smoke without you</em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">then on the seventeenth i played with dave woodcock and tim keech:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>wwf</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>happy birthday, richard hell</em></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>there's no smoke without you</em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">i know both sets are a bit similar but i haven't been practicing very much and i can't remember the words to songs at the best of times.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">finally, on thursday i was recorded for the shangri-la soup podcast which is broadcasted live but you can still stream or download it from <a href="http://radio.novalujon.com/27-10-11-the-shangri-la-soup-session/">here</a>. also playing on the podcast are tom burgess, dane glasby from the beatroots, owen williams and mick denny. it is recorded totally acoustically so i used my acoustic bass and had to sing a bit higher so i could belt the songs out a bit. also, excuse my horrible chitchat between songs, i'm trying to be a bit more affable and/or entertaining but i'm no good at that stuff. i play these songs on the podcast:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><em>dinosaur egg</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><em>pensioners hands</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><em>wwf</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><em>i love you love me love</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><em>beautiful mental patient</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><em>my body the temple and i the iconoclast</em></span><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">marty feldman eyes</span></em><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><em>there's no smoke without you</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><em>chelsea hotel #2</em></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">once the records and pledges are all posted, the <em>golden boy</em> extended player will be released online. after that i'll finish recording my album <em>weird summer</em> and hopefully release it before the end of the year. if you haven't already, download all my albums and eps and singles from <a href="http://thetumbledryerbabies.bandcamp.com/">bandcamp</a> (most of them are free) and follow me on <a href="http://twitter.com/tdb_andrew">twitter</a> if you're into that sort of thing. next gig is fifth of november back at the railway opening for son of buff.</span>the tumbledryer babies:http://www.blogger.com/profile/10501383613971095492noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225878748028960180.post-56555135881496023022011-10-01T00:12:00.000-07:002011-10-01T00:12:42.419-07:0000049 // 30/09/11<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">the digital version of the latest tumbledryer release, <i>reasons to be tearful</i>, is now available. if you pledged on it you will have received it in your email inbox, but if you didn't pledge you can stream it or buy the digital version from the <a href="http://thetumbledryerbabies.bandcamp.com/">tumbledryer bandcamp page</a>. i am still waiting for the test pressing to arrive, once they do your records and paintings and other pledges will be in the post imminently. thanks for your patience.</span>the tumbledryer babies:http://www.blogger.com/profile/10501383613971095492noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225878748028960180.post-80336043278767529032011-08-28T07:30:00.000-07:002011-08-28T07:30:20.010-07:0000048 // 28/08/11<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">on the thirteenth i played at the southend pier festival which was a total success and by all rights should be an annual event from now on. i played:</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">then on the fifteenth i played at shangri-la with tom burgess, cusack and plantman, all of whom were excellent and it was great to be part of a lineup of artists who make me feel thoroughly lazy and ashamed.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>now the geeks have a union</i></span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">then the following weekend there was <i>love you till sunday: a collective tribute to david bowie </i>at the railway hotel. there were some amazing performances, including a rather special steve hooker set, but my favourite song had to be phil burdett's rendition of 'young americans'. my setlist went like this:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><i>modern love</i></span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">the pledgemusic record is now at the pressing plant. they will be posted to you all along with the paintings and bindle bundles as soon as they are pressed. the digital versions will be in pledgers' inboxes on the fifth of september. it is called <i>reasons to be tearful</i> and here is the tracklist:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><u>side one</u>:</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">side one was produced by mister midi and side two was produced by me. i'm quite excited about it being out there because side one is unlike anything else i've done.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">once the records have gone out to you all i am going away for a while to sort my brain out but will be back with some more new material and gigs in october, including a bonus extended player written for and about a pledger who went above and beyond the call of duty & at least one more album before the end of the year. find even more banal gibberish from inside my head on twitter (<a href="http://twitter.com/tdb_andrew">@tdb_andrew</a>) if you like.</span>the tumbledryer babies:http://www.blogger.com/profile/10501383613971095492noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225878748028960180.post-4238435452340793272011-07-31T11:13:00.000-07:002011-07-31T11:13:06.238-07:0000047 // 31/07/11<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">side one of the record is now finished. most of side two is recorded. more news to follow.</span>the tumbledryer babies:http://www.blogger.com/profile/10501383613971095492noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225878748028960180.post-43814434505772989502011-06-28T04:34:00.000-07:002011-06-28T04:36:41.275-07:0000046 // 28/06/11<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">thanks to everyone who preordered our record through our </span><a href="http://pledgemusic.com/projects/thetumbledryerbabies"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">pledge music project</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">. it was looking grim for a while, but you people really came through in the last few days of the project and we met our target. i am in the process of making demo versions of songs for the EP and preparing all the bundles. i will continue to make demo versions and other stuff available exclusively to pledgers in the lead up to the record release in september. it will be available in vinyl and download formats. the 7" will be on green vinyl and all pledgers will be listed in the liner notes. i will be going on about the details of the record some live dates around the time of the record release on </span><a href="http://twitter.com/tdb_andrew"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">twitter</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> so feel free to follow me for updates.</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">by preordering the record through pledge music you get access to exclusive songs, videos and features, and you will help us reach our target which would mean a lot to us. that said, if we don't reach our target we will have to start again and find another way to fund it, so please preorder the record and tell everyone to do the same.</span><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">now for some big business. since our 7" single was so well received we are desperate to get another record pressed. this time it will be an extended player rather than a single. the only problem is this: we are broke. our trip to sxsw cleaned us out. that said, we still want to put out</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> physical records, and the solution i've come up with is <a href="http://www.pledgemusic.com/artists/thetumbledryerbabies/">pledgemusic</a>. basically, by preordering the record you will help fund it. and your name will appear in the liner notes!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">and if you want to go a step further, there are various exclusive bundles & experiences including (among other things) a day out with the band, limited edition framed cover artwork, a gig at your house and the chance to be the subject of a future tumbledryer download EP.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">the whole thing kicks off in the next few days. during the two months of fundraising there will be downloads and other giveaways exclusive to pledgers to make it all the more pleasurable for you to help us fund this. remember, without your funding we can't put out the record!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">it was stressful leading up to the gig, what with it being a real chore to get our visas sorted in the first place as well as our first ever overseas gig, but dave and all the staff at the velveeta room were really friendly and helpful and kind which helped a lot. nevertheless i was terrified. but it went ok. the setlist went like this:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">we always love playing there. thanks to blang and to everyone who came along. next up is shangri-la at the railway hotel in southend, then a few gigs in february in the lead up to sxsw in march. more dates will be announced soon. in the mean time, keep up with tumbledryer announcements and mindless inane comments <em>as they happen </em>on </span><a href="http://twitter.com/tdb_andrew"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">twitter</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">, download the new album for free from bandcamp and be nice to each other.</span></div>the tumbledryer babies:http://www.blogger.com/profile/10501383613971095492noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225878748028960180.post-32067684792765647542010-12-20T04:19:00.000-08:002011-01-06T04:51:29.945-08:0000040 // 20/12/10<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">now that myspace is virtually unuseable i have had to transfer the blog to here. if, for some reason, you want to read old blog posts you can find entries 00001 - 00039 </span><a href="http://www.myspace.com/thetumbledryerbabies"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">i was sad to hear of captain beefheart's passing this weekend. he is a very important and influential figure to the tumbledryer babies and <i>safe as milk</i> and <i>clear spot</i> are absolute masterpieces. as a tribute we have recorded a cover version of 'too much time', which you can listen to by visiting our <a href="http://facebook.com/thetumbledryerbabies">facebook page</a>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">i played at the beatles convention at the railway last night. i was very nervous about it, given how bad i am at remembering the words to songs. i'm bad enough at remembering the songs i've written, yet alone the words to other people's songs. anyway, i played:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><i>i'm a loser</i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><i>i'm happy just to dance with you</i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><i>if i fell</i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;"><i>i'll cry instead</i></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">thanks to everyone who was there for being patient with me and not booing when i messed up. </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">that was the last tumbledryer gig of twothousandandten. next up is the blang records night at 12 bar on the fourth of january where we will be opening for dan treacy (television personalities), then a few gigs in february as preparation for sxsw in march. next year is set to be an exciting one for us.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">finally, our new album will be released on the first of january. you'll be able to download it for free from <a href="http://thetumbledryerbabies.bandcamp.com/">bandcamp</a>. hope you like it. see you next year.</span></div>the tumbledryer babies:http://www.blogger.com/profile/10501383613971095492noreply@blogger.com0
