THE SOHO COBRAS: First demo featuring Hazel...

Just a quick note to say that we have done a couple of tracks acoustically so we can get our new singer Hazel's voice out there for you to here as fast as we could.

 A couple didn't come out that great, partly because I had drunk 2 bottles of wine and partly because I am not great on acoustic guitar.

There's a world of difference I think between "playing acoustic guitar" and being an electric guitar player that occasionally bashes out a song on acoustic.
I have been spoiled I think playing my beautiful hand made French widdle machines, so it was a bit of a shock to suddenly have huge string and a highish action to wrestle with. I wanted to do a better job with the guitars since the vocals are really soaring, but I think all things considered the guitars came out ok.


There's a mini player below where you can check out the track. This is HERE AGAIN (acoustic), by THE SOHO COBRAS

Rocking out in Oxford

I've had a pretty cool month. I bought TWO new guitars, a beautiful LAG Roxane Classic in a natural mahogany finish in the pics below and a LAG Roxane RF1000 in Cherry sunburst. Both are amazing French made models. More pics of my new toys will follow.

We also had a really fun gig in Oxford on friday. I guess we played pretty sloppily, but we went down really well and had a fantastic time. Two things really stood out for me, a guy in a wheel chair climbed up a flight of stair with just his arms to see us, and for the first time ever we had literally everyone in the place singing along. I could hear people shouting the chorus to a couple of songs over my half stack! So it's all good.
We also got some cool pics from Johnny Moto a few of which are posted here.
There was also some live video to the last song "Triple-X" which we probably shouldn't have played until we had rehearsed it more, but we had run out of songs for the encore!

Here's the video anyway, you get the end of "FDR" and all of "Triple-X".

Enjoy.
