Guys this is a bit of a special one for me and i'd love to see a few of you there if you can make it.
It is the release party for the Gary Harvey Band' s new album Ghost Dance.
Also featured on the bill is the band I sort of manage/produce, His Masters Voice and guest opening set from Fat Max and Dave "Honey Boy" Morris
This is the first full album that I have put my name to as Producer. Unless people are lying to me, it has come out pretty well. I'm rather proud of it, if I say so myself.
I started recording and mixing this 3-5 years ago ( the exact time is under debate) It has been a long and sometimes painful process because I didn't want to do just another rock-blues hack record. I put a lot of time into creating a different and sometimes surprising feel to each track. I think we managed to give the songs real character.
There's some blistering guitar work and no shortage of twisted psychedelic influences. There's some nice touches on various tracks such as gospel singers and a guest spot from genuine US female vocalist Erica Lee.
Plus some cameo appearances on guitar from Az Burns, lead guitarist form His Masters Voice, myself contributing some guitar weirdness here and there and a chanted "HEY!" on one song by our very own BG.
The gig costs $15 on the door or $20 with a CD copy of the album.
I'll be on stage for 4 or 5 songs off the record and there's even good looking backing singers, for those of you who like to see women on stage who aren't trying to get your tip money.
Get along this Saturday night.
