Slowly, Slowly, catchy Monkey

Well its been a while since we were in the Studio. What we didn't realise was how long it would take to do all the bits we wanted afterwards.

We are just tweaking the final bits of art work with one of the nicest guys, Dave, who has designed and pandered to our ideas. The work however is all his and we think he has come up with some amazing ideas......you can see them soon.

The thing is we are also having to set up all the things like barcodes and getting it distributed and having never done it before you just don't think it will take as long as it does.

Hey, what can you do but learn for next time.

Thanks for being patient and we look forward to seeing you soon at a gig.

Congratulations Chris

We would just like to say a huge Congrats to Chris who has just gotten himself married. We all wish him well and we can promise that now his wedding duties have been and past, he is now to be put to work in the TFT factory of music....

We have new songs that have been played only a handful of times: Tonight & Answer in a Song.

This was done as an acoustic only release to an intimate crowd recently but don't worry we will make sure that we get a full rocked up version out soon.

Will has written a fab new riff which is currently called "Out Of Control" and is set to be our indulgent number, but we love playing it.

Tom has a new basic idea which is yet to be finished (Step in all the others)

and Karen has a few song ideas floating around that will be getting finished soon.

Well as for Barny and Chris, they have more ideas than we have time for but don't be surprised to hear some drum and bass lead riffs creeping there way in soon as well.......Not that kind of drum and bass.

We have a few gigs coming up and we hope you can make it along to them.

See you all soon

The Hobbit - 9th August - What a Night

Well its a few days later and the dust has settled and I am still on a high from the weekend.

On Saturday night at The Hobbit in Southampton we headlined an evening of fantastic music. Starting with Even After, who played a blinder of a set and won over many new fans, then came The Architects who played some top bouncy tunes to keep the crowd going. As well as making some new friends......

We played and to start with the room seemed quite empty but it soon changed and the place was rammed. We were worried about playing so late (about 12am) but people stuck around and we just had a great time.

The energy I felt while playing was more than it has for ages. It gave me goosebumps.

So thanks to everyone who helped make the night one of our best and we hope that we can see you again soon.

Tom

SENSER & SHAM!

Hello!
Well as they are getting nearer I am getting more excited! Yes, not only have we been asked to support Senser at The Talking Heads, Southampton, but a week later we will be the main support slot for Sham 69 in Winchester - yet another great gig for TFT.
We are working hard to get the set tight and slick and ensure we select the best songs for the bands we are supporting. I can't wait to play and see them perform too.
It will be a great couple of weeks for the band and anyone that would like to join the party and come along we would love to see you. Details of both events are posted on the website and if you would like tickets to either gig please just drop us a line on myspace or go to www.thinkingfortuesday.com.
We'd love to see you there.
Thanks a lot,
Karen & TFT

Studio pernikittyness!

Well Tom and I were in the studio last night to finish his recording of Falling (This is not usually the order you record things as the standard is to lay down bass after drums and not guitar however as Tom will be away for an extended honeymoon - needs must....)!

This is only going to be a quick blog today I'm afraid as I am currently at work and my usual essay-blogs take time to publish!

Anyway the recording is going really well, Rob has been very patient with us (I say us, in fact I mean Tom as he is quite the perfectionist - not a bad trait, especially as recording should sound as perfect as possible - bearing in mind however that usually any mistakes we make during a gig/practice are covered up by the general noise that we produce [and Kazla's bits on display!] then trying to get it to sound perfect has been no mean feat!). Rob is doing really well getting the mixing right, we're getting an awesome sound due to the fact that ProTools HD is totally awesome/Rob knows his Desk stuff/We have 7 Mics for everything (7 for the drum set-up, 7 for the guitars etc) so we're not missing anything out sound-wise! Next week Barney will be recording his bits.....when I say his bits I mean his Bass guitar parts in the songs rather than his actual bits.....although I'm thinking perhaps that might be a fun competition......Okay that's sorted, we will run a competition and give some free stuff away to whoever guesses the following:

"We will record the sound of Barney's bits in one of the songs, for the first person who guesses which song and exactly where the sound of Barney's genitals (which, contrary to popular belief and in opposition to any rhymes which I sing, are not covered in barnacles) occurs they will win a prize that is unsurpassed in it's pricelessness!"

Anyway I must dash-a-rooney as I technically really should be working.......ah well



Chris outta here!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
