Australian Guitarist / Songwriter
It gives me great pleasure to make this post today. The album goes into manufacturing on the 21st, and from there it will have a 7 – 10 day turnaround while they do their thing! Over this time you can pre-order, and as a thank you for doing that, we’ll give you a copy of our fourth single to be released, “Music Keeps Me Sane” before it’s released to iTunes and the like a bit later on.
Haven’t heard the preview clips yet? Check em out below!
Some footage captured during the making of the debut Feckers album “It’d Be Rude Not To” for you guys!!! This album will now be coming at ya very early 2013. More info to come here and at http://www.thefeckers.net/
PART ONE:
PART TWO:
The Feckers 3rd single “Far From Done” hit iTunes this morning (AEST)!!! Check it out here: http://itunes.apple.com/au/album/far-from-done-single/id567341132
THANKS everyone for the support so far on the track!!!! Glad you’re digging the change of pace from Feckerville!!! 😀
As most folks would know, there’s going to be a new album coming very very soon by The Feckers – it’s just had the mixing wrapped up, so we’ll be mastering it now before it goes off to the printers. This means it’ll be here real soon and guess what? I think I’ll need the cupboard space when those copies arrive!! So here’s how you can help me out……
For a very limited time, I’ll be selling copies of my first album “Pieces of Eternity” for 50 cents. That isn’t a typo, and it doesn’t mean I don’t totally believe in the music, or that I’m retiring to start a new career to be a pole dancer or anything like that. It just means that I want ya to take em!!! Go on – take em!!!
When you pay the 50 cents, you’ll also get an instant download of the album to tide you over while the physical CD is being shipped out (this generally happens within a day of ordering). Any questions, email me, but other than that, please visit the new Bandcamp Store and go nuts!!!
Recently we were working behind the scenes on a forthcoming single by The Feckers called “Far From Done”, and I could hear a string on the song – something I didn’t have!!
So after lots of asking around and suprisingly very few guitarists actually having one, it was time to add to the family so to speak!!
Will be recording the tracks over the week so we can have the single out asap!!
Speaking of The Feckers, there was a little album we’ve been working on for a while that you may have heard me mention called “It’d Be Rude Not To”? ….. Well it’s extremely close to being a done deal. Will be going to Red Planet very early August to make 3 tiny little changes to mixes and then we’re mastering. Will be posting some release info for this thing really soon, so stay with us ok?
Much thanks as always!!! After that wraps up, I’ll be busting out a couple more songs with Skube that will be the final ones for my next album that was started just before things in Feckerville kicked into high gear in early 2010. Stay tuned for that also.
I’ll be doing the same thing in regards to singles with a steady flow of them that will come out via iTunes and also be available as full length videos on Youtube before the eventual release of that next CS Solo album. As it stands now there is a good half an hour of music complete, drums down on 4 more, with two more to come. Looking forward to it coming “to be” 😛
Thanks friends!!!!! RIP Jon Lord!!!! 🙁
May be some video coming soon if I can find some bits that don’t suck haha!!
Thanks to those that came!!
Here’s a preview of the forthcoming album by Anchor Field that I play on which features co Fecker, Mr Alexey Spectre!!
By the way guys, have you heard the DEBUT SINGLE from our wee little band called The Feckers????
It came out on January 25th, and the plan is that we’ll be putting out a few of these “extra tracks” we ended up with after finishing recording for the “It’d Be Rude Not To” album towards the end of 2011, just to tide over you guys out there waiting for it’s release!!
Here’s a sample video:
Hey all!!
Just getting the new website rolling here, which I hope you enjoy, find easier, quicker, more attractive and just cooler in general!!! Maybe scratch the “more attractive” part as it is still a site about yours truly, so that isn’t really possible!!!!
Anyway, drop me a line if you like – site related or general stuff – I’d love to hear from you, especially if you’re in a band – maybe we could do a trade on albums or something??
Cheers!!!!
WOW!! – we’re all still here and the world didn’t end after all!!!! Aren’t we lucky!!!! 
Anyway, just a quick note here to let you all know that heaps is on the go, and I’m having such a great time putting everything together!!!
THE FECKERS:
Sessions to resume this coming weekend, and I’m super pumped!!! This will be one of the last sessions for the album. Finishing up bits and pieces. Since I last updated, there has been another Aussie visit by Mr Richard MacGyver Anderson, and we took care of heaps of stuff for the album – vocals, backing vocals, guitars etc, and Dennis also finished his last drum track over the past handful of weeks.
Being the professional he is, he would always give us the option of having him redo parts of the songs if need be, but we never needed to take him up on it ever over 15 drums tracks or something!!! What a guy, delivering such quality in such prompt fashion, and with a great attitude and some comedy thrown in as well. What more could we ask for.
Recently while doing the guitars, I also got to try and keep up with one of my musical hero’s (to be revealed shortly) on a Feckers song, who was kind enough to supply some amazing guitar for one of the heavier tracks on the album. To say it was an honour is the hugest understatement, and I’ll certainly be forever grateful to this gentleman for getting the opportunity at all. Hopefully I don’t suck too much next to his godliness on the instrument!!
On another note, we recently shot a heap of footage here in Werribee for some future Feckers videos. Would love to know what some of the locals thought of us when driving by and seeing some of the antics. We had a bigtime blast doing this, and I’ve came up with a rough version of the first video. We’ll be adding to it over the next little bit while the music is finished off, and unleashing it upon ya’s asap!!!
CS SOLO:
Had an acoustic session with Open Plan Studio recently that went fantastic. There is an EP worth of songs that I had started in 09 at Reich Records that got left behind as The Feckers and everything else took off, that I always said I’d get back to when the time came. I did some vocals on two tracks, and also twelve string guitar which went great. Will be doing more stuff there in early June.
Will also be finalising demos for the remaining songs on album #2 over the next couple of weeks and hopefully busting them out before the years end. This really depends on everything else running smoothly in the meantime, but fingers crossed!!
VIDEO:
Check out my Youtube Channel for a bunch of stuff, including a new video that has a heap of teaser clips from stuff I’ve mentioned above!!! There’s also a live version of “October 22” from the recent 303 gig in Northcote up there among other things.
Make sure ya add me there too so we can keep in touch!!!
Cheers guys and talk soon!!!!!!!!
