New music from BV and FTR

Hey groovers
I'll have to start using code now for the bands as the names are too long. Actually FTR has a nice ring to it.

Mastering the Blue Valentine CD next week in Melbourne at Dex Audio. Haven't been to a mastering session since Festival studios in 1994 for the first Figtree Renaissance CD. Work has started on the cover which will be a nice shiny 8 pager with lyrics/recipes/giveaways and horoscopes??

Figtree Renaissance started work on an EP as I said in the last post. You can have a preview of one of the tracks called WYSIWYG
Follow the links to the track
Have a few cool ideas for the EP and one includes samples of Simple Minds and Donna Summer. Very chic but powerful. I'd better not give away too much too soon, but then I could never keep my mouth shut.
A licensing company in the UK called makin-trax.co.uk are interested in licensing the WHOLE first FTR album for soundtrack use in advertising, waiting for a contract proposal to be sent.
Ben Cox [Mixer/Loopman] and Carina are comin up to Mudgee over the next few weeks so we might even end up in the sttudio, who knows, depends on Daves availability. Gimme the computer now!!!!
Carina had a huge gig last week in Sydney for the launch of the charity she has co-founded. She has lots of new lyrics which is good because I have lots of music.

Discovered a really cool act from the UK who rock in a totally different way. The Noisettes sound like a cross between Nina Hagen and the Stooges. Check out their clip for "Don't give up" on their myspace page. One review said she sings like Billie Holiday on PCP. Love it!!
