It’s not all just dwelling on the past on the Saloon
website. Alison has announced a gig for The Left Outsides on 24th May
supporting Gravenhurst in a church
in Hampstead. There will be a bar apparently and should well be worth the price
of admission.
Saloon’s collaborators have also been busy, Mike’s brother
Rob (who collaborated with Saloon on ‘Have
you seen the light’ amongst other things) has been touring the states as
part of Hot Chip including playing Coachella.
Another of our collaborators also inadvertently made it to the gossip
pages this week.
In my own news, Alice and I had our first session in the ‘studio’
for about four years to work on some new Arthur and
Martha material. Obviously don’t expect anything soon (if ever) but it was
great to be making music with Alice again. Her other, much more active band Cosines have a new record out
as well as some gig dates
announced.
Also, on the Saloon front, I found a couple of lost tapes at
the bottom of a box on the weekend. Now this was hardly a find on the level of The Tomb of the
Cybermen, but what I did find was a really nice instrumental piano version
of Chromosomes played by Amanda, along with a demo of a song that Mike wrote
and recorded solo called ‘Cool as can be’. Hopefully I will get them up on here
in due course of time.
As you can see, my web skills now stretch to hyperlinks.
