Hey guys. It's been a while since I last posted on here, but I'm sitting in the dark at 4am and figured you all deserve som Al-time. So I'll tell you what's been happening...
The album is finished! Good god, it only took 2 years. It's mixed, mastered, and the artwork is saved on a little photoshop file right here on my computer. I'm aiming at a release in october. I'm going to book the launch night before any offical release date, but rest assured you will know all the details when I do!
I have also decided that my dayjob as barman at the Auld Toll Bar must finally come to an end. It's been a pretty emotional ride, but the album has finally given me a little focus and positivity, and barwork has been slowly sapping those very same things away over the past 5 years. Well no more! Come september I shall be off on tour and when I get back, There's a record to release! I cannot wait to get out of there.
What else...? I recently stumbled across a band called The Staves on youtube and was immediately floored by how good they are. Then I found out my good friend and fellow musician Kat Healy is supporting them in Glasgow on the 8th of August! You should totally go to that if you can. I will certainly try! Have a look at the video at the bottom of this blog for a great version of their song 'Winter Trees' - you need to skip about a minute in before they actually start the song.
Well I reckon I should sign off. I'm pretty rubbish at this blogging thing but if I wanna stay 'street', then it has to be done :) Here's that video:
