Next Gig:
5th May @ The Bedford, an event curated by the Roundhouse called 'Roundhouse Rising'
I will be joined by the brothers grimm, lovely bunch of guys I've been playing with since Sept 2010. I'm looking to write with them and more musicians after the album is finished.
2nd May SINGLE RELEASE
Omg omg, after a looong time, the track will finally be ready for release. My manager Jen has been working furiously on PR and the mix has been done by Ben Lamdin and David Beart- both very different but greeeat producers. See http://bandcamp.com/roxyrawson for downloads
30th April- May 8th
Video shooting with the brilliant Lucie Fournaison who just shot David Goo's video. She worked on a lo-fi video I did at the girls' exhibition last year which came out great. I'm sure she'll do a great job. Ideas we have so far are: film the sun rising, then swing round image to run down a hill, through hitchin town, close ups of everything, through the park, play on the bandstand, play poo sticks on the stream, run home, see the trinkets everywhere, eat food, burn candles, many of them all at the same time one by one lighting fast, until the end of the day. A day in a song length. Is it possible though????
Album Progress
We recorded two days this month, in the fishmarket studio in West London. It was a lovely space. Stressful day, but worth it. I came out of recording with an overwhelming need to DANCE. The whole thing has been great, Ben Trigg did the arrangements, lovely job and the string quartet we hired in did a great job (although we were all grumpy at moments), but I am now totally IMPECUNIOUS. ZERO POUNDS. Looking to fund my album via poss support from the single through labels and anyone interested in hearing the album finished in exchange for perks- such as (not necessarily washing your cat) a song dedicated to that person because they ooooh so much support that a song must be made and I would dedicate it to them out of puuuure gratitude..:))))
