Moonlet Unplugged Part Duex

Well, hello again.

First of all, big thanks to the crowd at Eden Cafe. I have to admit, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, but you guys really gave us a warm welcome. Was nice to see some people out there who were literally singing along to the words of some of our songs, totally unprompted. If you happen to be reading this, you know who you are and it was a really weird kind of 'rock star' moment for me. So that was cool.

I mentioned it at the venue, but if you're interested in our EP 'The Likes of David Bryant', you can purchase it on iTunes or AmazonMP3.

Get it? Got it? Good.

Anyway, just a reminder that we're going to be on David White's radio show 'BBC: Introducing' on the 30th of August. I have a LITTLE time left to find out times and whether it's going out live or whatever, but do keep it in the back of your minds... it's gonna be quite fun. Oh, and if you happen to listen, share the link with your friends. Tell your mothers and the likes. Get the word out there, guys!

Anyway, here's the setlist for Eden Cafe.

LoveTube

That sounded a bit nortee, didn't it?

Anyway, our guitarist, Roger is off on holiday. He's beggering off to have a wonderful time in The States so we're using this time off from gigging in order to bring you lovely people some new, lovely stuff. For example, tomorrow afternoon, the 'Monks are getting together in a room somewhere in Penzance in order to shoot some live videos of some of our songs... hopefully one or two that haven't been made avaliable outside of our live shows... how exciting is that!?

On top of that, Dan and I have been in major cahoots, preparing to write lots and lots of new songs to teach that wandering minstrel, Roger, when he gets back. I've been getting down to writing lyrics and I'm really jazzed about some of the material that's come out of it. I'm sure by the time August rolls around we'll have plenty of new tunes to show you. Look out for some rough drafts in a vodcast or something.

And finally, in regards to our upcoming EP 'The Likes of David Bryant'... if you haven't had a chance to check them out, we've released two exclusive tracks, Too Late to Mate and David Bryant Tried to Section and Kill Me. You can find them on our Reverb Nation page or our Facebook page in the 'My Band' Tab. Links below.

So yeah, lots of news there for you to get your teeth into. More updates on the videos and songs coming soon.

And We're Back

After some... um... technical difficulties... I'm finally back to keep everyone up to date on everything Love Monks. So, without further ado let me fill you in on everything that's going on that so far I know about. Yeah? Yeah.

First and foremost... we've recorded our second EP "The Likes of David Bryant." At the moment we are giving away a limited edition, unmastered and signed copy (only one out of a hundred) of this EP along with one of our lovely looking t-shirts. And 5 grand in cash.* All you have to do is check out our Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/Moonlet?ref=ts) and leave a comment explaining why you think you should be the one to win all this free stuff. After that, you must suggest the facebook page to as many of your beautiful friends as possible so that they may 'like' your comment. At the end of the deadline, the comment with the most 'likes' wins... so get suggesting! Deadline is June 11th.

Next of all... we're going to be playing the Sing for Courage Festival in the grounds of St. Dennis Football Club in St. Austell. It's an open air affair with free camping, so why not come along and enjoy the full experience? Plenty of other bands to enjoy too. 18th of June... be there. ;)

More updates on the way.

*5 grand to be payed out in imaginary notes ONLY. May or may not be cashable in your country.

EP Pre-Production

I actually bring some vaguely exciting news today. Moonlet & The Love Monks' new EP has entered the pre-production phase. That's the phase where things are finally off the ground without a great deal apparently happening. But it's still very exciting nonetheless. For me anyway. And hopefully the rest of the band. And maybe you.

So we headed down to Krowji in Redruth to meet with producer Phil Innes. He keeps his studio there and so we met up to have a bit of a natter.

We ended up playing a selection of 6 songs for him, to give an idea of what it was we wanted to record and how we would go about it. Phil heard our thoughts, we heard his thoughts and now we're at the point where we're ready to go into the studio (hopefully next week) and start to lay some (maybe rough, maybe polished) drum tracks and just lay the general groundwork of the tracks.

Only thing is, now that we've played the songs and got the feedback we need from them, we need to whittle the six songs down to four. Nightmare! Hah.

So anyway, our EP is officially underway and we'll hopefully going back to make some permanent noises next week. I'll be in touch.
