Oh my lord, what a year.
Happy New Year one and all!
And thanks for making 2008 a fun year.. It seemed to go on forever, from the Bolts of Melody show in Kilburn and the solo shows in Australia that must have been in February through the Swervedriver tour that went from Coachella to Glasgee and the Magnetic Morning autumn US tour that rocked all of our worlds, ...and how.
And then there was recording two frigging albums that started in London in April, carried on through Toronto, Atlanta, Athens, Cardiff and finished in Oxford just now.
The Magnetic Morning album 'AM' comes out on vinyl and CD in January and is unmissable (go to:www.myspace.com/magneticmorning to hear some sounds) and the Adam Franklin & Bolts of Melody album 'Spent Bullets' will be available for spinning March/April time, we promise, and is equally delectable, of course.
And then there are the Swervedriver re-issues hitting your racks (ouch, sorry) also - I believe Raise, Mezcal Head and Ejector Seat Reservation are already loitering seductively for any passing trade at UK outlets and Raise and Mezcal at least will be available in North America come January via Second Motion/Hi-Speed Soul - I think Sony have decided they own Ejector Seat Reservation for the US afterall and intend to walk her down the aisle on some unspecified future date.. Let's hope they don't stand her up again. huh?
And so I've posted some new tunes over at www.myspace.com/toshackhighway - a couple new 'Bullets' tunes; a Magnetic demo; there's a live Bolts tune plus an Amy LaVere cover (we all love Amy and saw her play twice in Nashville this year and apart from anything else you just gotta love anyone who's instrument is larger than they are!) and an anthem to carry us through to Rome, hopefully. Makes a nice little EP methinks..
