Hi lads
Thanks for giving Lies a listen, its much appreciated.
Firebreath, I guess non of us have particulary big profiles.
Tony the singer worked with a band called Berlyn, however he has worked with some "names". Most of us are from the NWOBHM era, Pat O'Neill played in Black Rose. Myself, Keith and Chris worked with Pauline Gillan (Ian Gillan Deep Purple, sister) for many years. Mick Tucker who guested on the Fallen Track was my fellow guitar player in Axis. Fred Purser the producer (a great producer) was the guitar player in Tygers of Pan Tang.
Tony our Singer is out on tour with a band called Skiltron, an Argentinian, Celtic Rock band! Unusual but fun!
Labrek, sorry you were disappointed. Its an independent release, so we had a limited budget, we could have gone to 9 10 tracks but we concentrated on getting the sound right. In our defense the CD was priced competitively I thought. Fallen, Tower of Angels, Warhound, DFA all clock in at over 7-8 mins, with the link pieces I thought it fit together pretty well.
Fred Purser is a great producer, sure you will agree, but great producers aren't cheap. So for an independent release....? However that said, non of the guys are starving musicians, we all live pretty comfortably. We do it because we can, but obviously its good to recoup the recording costs. Cross & Claw broke even, thats great, I didn't care if it did or didn't. It doesn't make a difference to my life, we do it for fun. So my offer is this, if you email me on
Liesofsmiles@ntlworld.com I will refund your money via paypal or however it works. I can't be fairer than that can I. A gesture of Anglo-Canadian goodwill.
Firebreath, JohnFrank email me on the above address, tell me what you think Cross & Claw is worth....you can have it for that price! Simple.
Keep rockin...and again many thanks for giving it a listen!
