Andy Summers & Robert Fripp - I Advance Masked - 1982

Quite an influence on the Relic album this one :)

It's our wedding anniversary.

I love you darling, 4 years!

Cosmic Re-arranger

So, Wednesday. 

Fierce And The Dead Rehearsal. 

My whammy pedal is knackered and as that is the pedal i use all over the On VHS EP it rather limits what we can play. Shite. 

What we did do was rearrange some of the songs to make them easier to play live. I've taken on too many of the guitar parts and now we've split them to between me and Steve, the other guitarist. Makes my life less about leaping from one pedal to another and more about actually playing the songs. Brilliant. On some sections previously i had to hit 2 pedals at once to get different sounds. Bloody nightmare. 

Kev is a great arranger of parts and he did a lot of work sorting it all out. 

Anyway we did that then wrote some new stuff. Big riffs. But you'll hear all about that soon. 

"The Final Relic" UK Tour

26th May London.

We also did an interview for Prog magazine, which was cool. 

The set is really coming together and I'm really excited about the other bands:

In association with Cognitive Dissonance, The Fierce & The Dead will be celebrating the release of their new e.p. 'On VHS' in the depths of London's East End.

“King Crimson meets Sonic Youth.”

Here Comes The Flood

“Simultaneously entrancing and distinctly peculiar.”

As well as special guest DJs, support comes from two of the best new bands around.

ANTA's sound is best described as "large"; looming and fundamental whilst melodic and composed. Thick, essential drumming and thundering bass with intertwining guitar and organ that take on a near-regal expression. The colossal prog quartet's debut album, "The Tree That Bears The Equine Fruit", is a determinedly energetic stampede through towering riffs and infectious rhythms without respite.

Sci'enta Dystene are a 2-piece progressive musical dialogues.

Riffmeister rumblings & dark cadences wrought outta Hell, or Satre. Experimental existentialist metal meets Beefheart & King Crimson.
