new SLAB blog page

I have decided to create a new SLAB blog page
http://slab-descension.blogspot.com/

I will post SLAB related items over there from now on.

Its been a long year, things were going well on the SLAB front and then difficulties occurred - largely my falling out with a good friend of 20+ years - but these things happen, and in SLABland its not uncommon.... I've always been good at losing friends.

Recently Paul and I have been in the studio working on a large number of new songs, mostly with me putting vocals down.

With luck this will see the new album finally get released. There are still plans for EPs etc and at some point the website will get revamped. Its been gathering dust for a year and when I get a moment I will sort it, unless there are any volunteers out there who want to do it!

In November 2011 the original members of the band are reconvening, Bill Davies, Robin Risso and Hugh Rawson with myself and Paul, we are also being joined by Dave Morris and our sound engineer Marc Allum, the first time we have all met since November 1989...who knows what that will bring...

So for now farewell and spread the word.

Voodoo SLAB Slight Return

with thanks to Herr B....

a little monitor mix of a new song Moon Returning, its a little tale of some war torn hellish miasma, I sit in a cafe and recite my opiated thoughts, fucked up but far from forgotten...it could be Saigon, it could be Afghanistan....wherever it is it aint a place you would want to go back to....

there's something wrong in my head

..... and while i tell the tale, Paul's guitar churns backwards in a psychedelic swirl as the Moon Returns over the jungles once more....

VIVA LA REVOLUTION - War in SLAB land

I am increasingly fed up with my so called allies that I attempt to work with, therefore I am doing it all myself.

So dearly beloved, I am going to release every bit of SLAB old or new in my possession for free and with the help of some of my Internet buddies (hello Mona and Herr B)

I cannot be bothered to go setting up limited companies and sort out accountants etc, I cannot be arsed with it. So I will release all of this stuff for free download. I cant see the point of signing to some company and still having to deal with the Inland Revenue for basically very little.

So expect SLAB tracks by the bucketload. EPs, themed albums you name it its all here.

I will also be putting up various other projects such as Killer Moses, Hangman Stone and I may go talk to my old buddies from Jigoku, Lovely Jon and Gareth from Cherrystones to see if they wanna collaborate too.

If anyone wants to post em on their own blogs feel free.

I dont do it for money , I do it because I have to.

The only thing thats been stopping me is myself.

Well that ends now

There's a war in SLAB land

VIVA LA REVOLUTION

The first new SLAB songs in 20 years are here

I have decided to post a selection of new songs by SLAB. Some will be released and some wont.

3 tracks on each link.

HERE

and another HERE

The songs are new. Some are heavy in the old SLAB style, some are SLAB pared down to the barest of bones.

Let me know your thoughts.

SLAB arise from the grave - NEW RELEASES

SLAB will be releasing a 4 track EP of new songs very soon.

This will be the first of a regular series of EPs in a range of formats.

To be honest I got really bored of working on the old stuff. The old stuff is good but I write all the time and have this backlog of new material. Therefore it seems to make more sense to release new stuff first and then look at the ancient stuff after.

More details to follow
