TONGUE THAI'D

Firstly - compliments to the chef for last night's Thai banquet (you know who you are!)  khob-kun-Ka :)   We recorded some STONKING music yesterday, and also filmed ourselves in action Wehey!  Keep your eyes on this blog for video footage, coming soon.   The second half of 'Tranquil Eyes' is in the bag, and 'Automatic' is also coming along very nicely.  Yes, Mel & Kim eat yer heart out.   I'm now writing another new track, called 'Pleasurely That Machine' which is about half done.  I think this might be the last sprint to the finishing line...but saying that, I'm so chuffed with what we're producing at the moment, I kind of don't want it to end!!   Sarah X    p.s. News about our warm-up for Gary Newman this coming bank hol weekend, will be posted shortly.

RMX

Another remix we have recently done... If you recognise the sounds it's because it's all based on the same sound set for "Dirty Youth"

Click here to have a listen, in-fact right click and you can download it, it's free, have it, no really have it I'm feeling generous today. I've made it sound too much like Erasure apparently!

PROGRESS

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, it's been pretty hot in the studio so progress in the last few weeks has been slow with the album. I think we are still on course for an Autumn release probably late October early November so at the most a month later than we planned.

We are at that stage where we can see the shape of the album and we are now trying to balance it out. I think we need a couple of stomping tracks to complete a really well rounded record. For me the tracks are all pretty fresh, they define our sound yet capture what we hope was the appeal for people who loved 53 D.

In August we will be doing another big vocal recording session, our next podcast and headlining the new acts stage at Retrofest so quite a bit to look forward to.

blog soon.

FEELIN HOT, HOT, HOT!

A big thank you to everyone who came to our gig at the Orwell Bar in Islington last weekend. It was HOT!  I had a right dab on' (as they say in Sheffield). I thought the Orwell Bar was pretty cool, and Bedsitland has the makings of a very successful night.  It was edgy and gothic, but a lot of fun.  The audience were more like a 'cast' with loads of people dressed up in authentic, 80's fashion (think Joy Division, rather than Agadoo). Apparently, many of them were extras in the TV series 'Ashes to Ashes'... But i wouldn't describe it as a strictly retro night, as loads of contemporary electro / dance choons were played. There was also some interesting original artwork displayed around the place - some of which was on display at the Royal Academy recently.   So anyway - thanks for comin'!  It ROCKED :-)

ANNIES SONG

This time last year I had the pleasure of visiting the Xenomania HQ, Xenomania is the production company formed by Brian Higgins a writer a producer who made his name with the Cher song "Do you believe", not holding that against him he went on to write and produce for Dannii Minogue and more recently written most of the hits for Girls Aloud.

One of his new projects is a Norwegian artist called Annie, her first single "Chewing Gum" was pretty pants but I have to say her new single "I Know Ur Girlfriend Hates Me" is proper electro pop and the Soul Seekerz remix is great.

Check her out on myspace.

ONE NIGHT ONLY

We are playing at Bedsitland - The Orwell Bar, Essex Road, Isslington, London
