Happy March... :-)
happy springtime is here...
happy the band has tightened up and ready to get into the studios one more time to finish "all about Love".
It looks pretty much as if we will be a Trio for most of it, but surprises never come announced, otherwise it would not be a surprise... :-D ...
Tom, Oliver and I will also be ready to perform soon, so stay tuned for more info on dates and locations... another surprise... lol
Love,
Billie

Changes, changes, changes...
We have been making some changes to the band line-up and to the album song list...
It is in the nature of things, the natural evolution of the making of an album that is full of Love and Passion, that things change until one is happy with the sound... it is a work of art, a painting... or several paintings in one, a collage of musical interpretations made in a collaborative effort between several musicians, in our case a Trio or Quartet for now.
Changes to the album song list:
As we are having problems with publishing rights for the "Part I: for Love" we will be dropping the four songs (Fever, My Heart belongs to Daddy, Love Me or Leave Me, LOVE) from the album... these songs however might come back in some or other form, but will definitely not appear on the album, "all about Love", sorry kids.
Changes to the band line-up:
As we kept listening to the music we recorded at Bedrock, we were finding ourselves not happy with the sound, and the way the songs were interpreted...
We have changed Bass players for a more melodic, free & avant garde Bass player with a solid Upright & Electric expressive sound, Oliver Steinberg ...
The Trio right now and hopefully for a long time consists of:
Tom Bone Ralls- Trombone, Oliver Steinberg- Bass, Billie Davies- Drums.
We might be adding a guitar player as well! Tom is very excited about that... I will let you know more about that next week.
Love & Peace
Billie Davies
