Two Good Men and One Hot Chick

4GM go into demo mode this week. We have around ten brand new songs to get through. Ian is working on the lyrics for the first 3 songs and we shall be preparing drum loops and pulses for Smiley to play drums along with. These will be done at Derek’s home studio. The real drums will be recorded at Ivory Blacks night-club in Glasgow and the overdubs done at Mick’s and in a local recording studio. We hope to have the tracks mastered by the third week in March and the results will be sent to various radio stations in the UK and USA. So far we have 3 USA stations interested. We will probably have edited versions of these songs as downloads on our myspace sites
The group had hoped to be playing some dates in Israel but these have been postponed by the promoters who cannot guarantee our safety at this time. The South Shields date has been confirmed for the 24th of June and there are half a dozen other shows in Scotland being pencilled in over the next few months. We should have our electronic press kit finalised by the end of this week and everybody has been working hard behind the scenes on this. On a different note I went to see Nazareth last night at the Exchange in Edinburgh. They are still the best rock ‘n roll band in the world in my opinion. They had to rush offstage and drive up to the north of Scotland to catch the ferry to the Orkneys where they are playing tonight. Where do they get their stamina?
