Peenko presents was a roaring success at the Tea Party's second event in the Hidden Lane Cafe. Paul Carlin's side project got the evening off to a great start with their live debut, and all the guests were roundly appreciative of the glorious Burnt Islands set of beautiful melancholy. Here is Burnt Islands set in full, with Ghost Pants to follow very shortly!

Anyway, for those who  missed out here is the podcast from WPM5 featuring a brilliantly, eerie story by Kirsty Neary (wait till you see the video) and Kirsty Logans quite magnificent 'The Rental Heart'. 

The amazing And So I Watch You From Afar playing 'The Voiceless' earlier on this year in Creation Studios, Glasgow. The live concert footage was taken from their recent sold out headline show at King Tuts. 

I have got into the habit of recording all our rehearsals just in case we come across a moment of genius! I decided to use some of the recordings to make audio and visual sketches with a view to getting some ideas on board in preparation for recording, and creating visuals for our live shows next year.  

This is the first sketch I produced; I was paying particular attention to the lyrics regarding heart beats. I wanted the colours to reflect the heart beating and pulsing. I also wanted a visual representation of the sea; hues of blue and green melt into the reds in time to the music. This is something I want our live visuals to reflect.

I also manipulated one of Alex's vocal lines near the start of the song, this is something I will definitely be doing more of by using live samples and a Kaoss Pad during our shows.   

Where you at the recent ASIWYFA gig in tuts? And more importantly, did you film or record the gig? If so, please email sean@lug-s.com. I am making a video featuring the band and I am looking for more footage to add to my own. I will make sure you get full credit for taking part. Here is a taster of the footage which I recorded myself.
