So, tiny darlings. Alert the media at once, and open the good gin; things are about to get LOUD.
The Demon Gin music act is happening.
Don't all faint at once.
Seriously - so sorry, loyal readers (all five of
you) that the blog has been on hiatus for so long, but there have
been many, many irons in fires and many, many trips to the hospital
where doctors tell me “do you know how much money we've spent
fixing your frigging burnt hands, you pointless bint?”
But the good news is that there will be
more news, more banter and more stories to share with you from now
on. This is a holding post for now just to keep you and new fans
(hello!) updated.
I will go into great detail on how all
this music craziness began in my next posts, but for now I have
listed everything you need to know below (the About page, Facebook
and Twitter accounts have all been updated too).
- There's three of us now. Well, three not counting the voice in my head. And we're not counting them. SHUT UP, YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE!!!! Sorry...
- The band consists of myself as singer/songwriter, Ben Holliday on acoustic guitar and mandolin, and Greg Ireland on mandolin, clarinet, vocals and percussion.
- Our musical style is macabre roots, dark folk and grim
cabaret, and we play original songs and trad tunes that channel
roots, folk, musical theatre, cabaret and vaudeville.
- Check the Facebook page for gig details for now, and a gig page will be added to this site
shortly
- We have JUST started, so stick with us while we sort out
things like photos and flyers and and hot tub parties and gambling
addictions
- A LOT of characters in the songs die or are insane. Or want
to kill you. Or are walls.
- We are on the prowl for more gigs, so please do message us
with suggestions or options. We will have some demo tracks to share
soon.
- How many hats should I wear for our first few
gigs........maybe 3...4?.....ahhh this is the sort of conflict they
warned me to expect in the music industry...
Discovered your blog via your Dermalogica Pre-cleanse review and am entirely enamored by your writing style! So funny, your blog is a gem, and I feel I'll be returning more frequently! I hope you continue to post!! :D
ReplyDeleteSuperb post! I am pleased to go through this. Have been thinking to visit a local venue Houston to get idea about things. Really want to host a memorable party who is moving to Europe next month for his degree.
