Really though, all your support so far this year has meant so much.
This is the last single I’ll be releasing from the album ‘Waiting For The Post-Man’, before starting work on my new record, so I do hope you continue to enjoy the album and this single.
A mini-site has been made containing all the videos, versions and download details … share it around all you want … CHASING DRAGONS / MINI-SITE
It’s been a great fortnight of gigs, from playing Guildford the week before last, then a few times in Cardiff last week, onto the brilliantly shambolic evening at West Bank Gallery in Notting Hill, which celebrated the first major exhibition in the UK of legendary Lee Black Childers photographs. Amazing unseen images from the New York Punk Scene and beyond, including David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, and Andy Warhol.
Last Friday I played at the wonderful Bush Hall, in support of The Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger - who were excellent, psychedelic-art-folk three piece pinned in place by the scatty charisma of their Conductor Sean Lennon.
Saturday I headed down to Folkstone and played at Googies Cafe, in support of OXJAM. Witnessed great performances from Stuart Turner, Unlucky Fried Kitten and Les Carter’s latest project Abdoujaparov.
The weekend also saw another OXJAM related event take place, when at midnight last Friday Medway Eyes released their 3rd album. An epic collection of Medway music which you can download for free right HERE. The video above, a live performance of the song ‘Tale Of An Everyman’ taken from my album ‘Waiting For The Post-Man’, is featured on the album.
If you do download the ME3 album (which I highly recommend) you are encouraged to donate as much as you see fit to the Charity OXJAM, details of which can be found whilst downloading – I know that Medway Eyes, and all the musicians who have provided music for this album would really appreciate it, however much you can in these hard times – it all counts!
Here’s the 4th instalment of videos for the Chasing Dragons single release …
You’ve seen the stop-motion, the live performance at Ranscombe and the lo-fi gothic bohemia of the Sunlight version … and so here’s MENACE, a remix by Dan Lawrence of Kids Unique. Many thanks to Dan for re-interpreting the original song, made surreal and strangely peaceful, something like a sun-set.
The video I made to accompany the song is a mood piece more than anything, simple and subtle, which I figured suited the vibe of the song. I was grateful to have been given permission to use previously unseen paintings created by Matthew Stephens Scott – many thanks to Matthew’s family for allowing me to use them.
Once again, any support you can give this song and its video is greatly appreciated. Share around this virtual maze we occupy as you see fit.
If you fancy downloading the song(s) that feature as part of the Chasing Dragons single release, simply click HERE. Come 17th October they will be available to download via iTunes and Amazon.
Not many copies of the album left now, so if you want to buy a physical copy of WAITING FOR THE POST-MAN, from which the original version of Chasing Dragons is taken, head over HERE.
