otisredding Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Hey guys. Thought I'd post a link to the first single from my new album Saint Hilda's Faithless Boy. It's out on November 1 on Red Rocks Records. We ain't doing online downloads. CD only. Please pass the link around and tell your friends about the album. Release parties in Wellington this Thursday night at Ruby Lounge. Saturday night at Juice Bar in Parnell, Auckalnd.
Guest Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Let us know when you're playing in Christchurch.
tanman_sg Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 That was quite fun to watch. The video looks like it was shot with a DSLR, it was neat. Oh, and the music - that was great too
Guest Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Nice clip D ! This track got a nice promo on Saturday's Hidden Treasures Now the big Q; is your new album coming out on vinyl ?
Tinobambino1553552743 Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Very cool! Just BookFaced it, & tweeted it. Let's hope it goes around the world.
Luis1553552738 Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Smooth soundz. What's your connection to St Hilda's? I once sat at the high table for lunch there; a strange experience.
Luis1553552738 Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 I mean this St Hilda's http://www.st-hildas.ox.ac.uk/
maxgate Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 First item on the Christmas shopping list - the missus likes grooving to blues and I like her groove. Yours is pretty good, too.
Guest Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 D; Just listening to New music with Sean McKenna on Nat Radio. He mentioned you originally recorded this album solo. Any chance of releasing the "naked" version ?

It's funny what can fire up the song writing engine sometimes.

I played drums, bass, organ, and guitars on 'em ... they were ok but I decided to use my band instead for a more live feel. The Bitter Suite was recorded by me alone - so that's from the original sessions.

I wish though, and we kept the phase relationships absolutely perfect so we could actually remaster for vinyl at some stage in the future with very little effort.
Spearmint Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 Thanks for the info re your new album. Unfortunately, I'll need to wait until it is released to put in my order. Smoke CD's don't have it listed as yet for pre order.

I see Irving's book is set in Canada, but I wonder if he was inspired by St Hilda's college in Oxford, which was exclusively for girls ( now mixed ).

Spearmint Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 The CD finally turned up today, unfortunately I doubt I'l get a chance to have a listen until the weekend. One thing that has annoyed me, and I have to admit it's not something I took any notice of before when purchasing from Smoke CD's is they don't credit the GST. I buy from two other sources in NZ for music, in particular NZ artists, and both credit off the GST which more than pays postage etc. Never-mind, I have it know and I'm looking forward to sitting back and having a listen.
otisredding Posted December 5, 2010 Author Posted December 5, 2010 Ok. I've relented and gone 'online'..... You should be able to get it on iTunes soon but in the meantime you can get 320k mp3s from: http://www.amplifier.co.nz/release/63121/saint-hildas-faithless-boy.html Oh yeah.... we're 'bubbling' under on the Kiwi FM Top Ten and number one sales at Real Groovy in Wellington at the moment. Now if we could just convince the rest of the country..... :rolleyes: Bing bong . . . that is all.
