Here are the lyrics from a new track - Thing - for my Twitter friend Hubert.
A crack in a mirror, a fault in the sky
A strange sense of difference in the air
And something creeping by caught my eye
A glow in the darkness, a movement without sound
One touch, and nothing’s the same
You really shouldn’t let it come near
It’s not from here
From somewhere dark and old
It made my hair stand on end
It touched me, turned me cold
And now I wander, alone in the night
A thing, not a man, from the dark
If only someone had turned me away
I limp through the woodland, I creep on the moors
I wait for redemption which never arrives
You really shouldn’t let me come near
I’m not from here
From somewhere dark and old
I’ll make your hair stand on end
I’ll touch you, turn you cold

more stuff from Steve's archive
Steve's put some more stuff up on Soundcloud - he recorded a couple of great albums with John Carpenter in the '80s under the name Spain. Click here for a link to Red Tape - you can find Tapir on Soundcloud too.

uncles gig sensation!
We've been booked to play at a celebration this evening. Steve and I will be joined by Martin on guitar and Tim on drums - the first time we've tried going out in a band format. If his memory doesn't fail beforehand, Wally's going to record it and if it sounds any good we might put a couple of tracks up on our Soundcloud page...

New CD nearly here...
We've been working on our second CD and now have eight tracks more or less complete with one more to go. Here's a sneak preview of what the cover may look like - following the theme of our hugely successful first album, "Songs From a Shed" - copies still available. (sigh)
If you haven't already taken a listen to the early mixes of this new album (provisionally titled "Wrecked"), visit our Soundcloud page and put some headphones on!

A bit of country rock for you....
Here's our latest recording - it might need a bit of tweaking still. See what you think. It's called Winter (and we hope this one is nearly over!)

Look Up!
We've got quite a lot going on - working on three new tunes and getting closer to releasing our second CD, and we feature on a special vinyl album limited release by Sound Shack Records for Independent Record Store Day on April 19 - it's called The Hare and the Bull. Look out for it!
And we don't think we've told you about our most recently completed track - It's called Don't Look Down - where we try to sound a bit like the wonderful J J Cale. Have a listen!

A slow one for once....
We've just put up a revised version of Looking for You - our most recent tune. This one started life as a lullaby intended for Wally's grandchildren, but he didn't finish it in time and now they're too big for lullabies.
It features Stalwart on saxophone; the basic tracks were out together in Spain by Wally using Nanostudio on his iPhone. The finished track contains several new parts added by Steve and Wally at the shed.

Ah - the old days....
Here's another one called Fags, Drugs and Wine. Wally wrote it in about 2001 on a Zoom PS-02 - a great little machine that he wishes he'd kept. We re-recorded it at Steve's shed recently.
It's a bit shorter than most of our other tunes, but we like it, and we hope you do. There's more stuff coming, with a few changes of style to look forward to. Just in case you missed the link above, you can click here to listen to it.
