New Bass...

So....... Our friend Ed Rainey hooked us up with master bass maker
Michal Kovac who kindly offered to make a one off, completely unique,
custom bass of my choice. I told him i'd love the shape of the Gibson
Thunderbird but with the feel and sound of my Music Man, A 'Thunder Man' if
you will ('Music Bird' would not do it justice!). Michal has started
the job- here are the pictures of where it's at right now, can't wait
to see the finished thing! Thanks Michal!

Shots from Osaka, January 21

A few pictures from the 24 hrs spent in Osaka, a day after Tokyo. Good times were had at Club SOMA, and the show was wrapped up perfectly in a gifted bottle of local sake which we savoured after the gig. The food in Osaka was on another level entirely – we’d suggest you all come out for the next gig we do out there and seriously enrich your lives.

Shots from Tokyo, January 20

The Tokyo show at Dalkanyama Unit was immense. Thanks to all of you who came out to meet us. We haven’t played there for some years, and this was a very welcomed 1.5 hour set return to form! The final shot in this collection includes a photo with Mr. Saburo Arashida, Chairman of Kyodo Tokyo (our promoters), who is nothing short of a legend in his own time and has brought many international artists to Japan from the early 60s onwards. His list of past and present clients is a veritable who’s who of contemporary music history. We were honoured that he made it down to see us at the show...
