July Newsletter

Image
Alreet lads n' lasses! There's two sides to everystory, you know - this much is true of the month in review. There's a part of me that believes the long-awaited LP release alone makes this an all-timer... it's not every month you release your DEBUT ALBUM! Add onto that the next gig booked and announced and you have yourself a fantastic four weeks for Four Blokes. However.. the pessimist within argues that we hardly REALLY did anything at all this month - all that REALLY happened is the Tiago mastered the last 2 tracks, I emailed some venues, and we hit "upload" on some songs... an accurate assessment of July is probably somewhere between those 2. Right - I'm already waffling and we haven't even got past the opening paragraph. Enclosed within this new edition of "The Four Blokes Newsletter" you will find a BUMPER SPECIAL FEATURE ARTICLE on the album, with a few short pieces on "the art of the deal" and "a disasteous return to re...

June Newsletter

How's my tan? Hey freaks πŸ˜›πŸ˜œπŸ˜›πŸ˜œ and welcome to the June edition of Four Blokes' monthly newsletter - new journalistic peaks every time! What is there to discuss this time round? Trips both literal and metaphorical, rerecording of fabled loss tapes, a little bit of jazz transcribing and, most excitingly, MASSIVE progress towards the debut album's release. There's a lot to get through this month so let's get cracking. We scrub up alreet After necking some putrid rosΓ© in the roman ruins, me and the mrs got onto a small commercial vessel for the "end of year Geography boat ball" ; despite security's threat to "turn the boat around" because we had "ruined it for everyone" by smuggling on a 300ml can of Kopperberg cider (they were selling the same thing in bottles at the boat's bar - this was all in the interest of venue protection comrades!) we managed the whole journey without being cast into the deep blue below. One final quote f...

May Newsletter

¡Hola muchachos y muchachas! It's nice to correspond with you once more, another addition of the monthly newsletter, this time concerning "May". The boys have been hard at work, in their endeavour to make new hit records - but to little avail... find inclosed all the latest news on Shite and Arse Ltd recording artists Four Blokes. Throughout the month I have been pursuing the next gig - members of the current lineup have all extended their loan spell, believing a massive improvement on the previous performance is possible. I have not recieved a single response from any venue or booking agent, EXCEPT this email: God forbid a man strum! No room at the inn for strummers... maybe in a few months when the tide changes and he has too many string quartets you'll see Four Blokes in the big smoke. I sincerely hope we can get something booked in soon simply because I love playing live. Swim and sleep like a shark 🦈  I also celebrated my 20th birthday - felt sad and weird to be...
