”Rocker Lily” was the first track we recorded when we arrived at the Ignition Studios in London. The studios have a great vibe, the latest equipment and even a hidden toilet, LOL. Best of all it was literally just round the corner from our hotel.
We
were up bright and early for the first day of recording but our first
challenge wasn’t in the studio – it was where to park our TRANSIT
VAN. Every parking space in London comes with a time restriction, so
the eventual solution was to keep changing the van’s location 2 or
3 times a day, not ideal but certainly kept Luke, our only driver at
the time, very busy!
“Rocker
Lily” is
another of our tracks with a unique drum feel and we managed to
record some great drum video clips whilst we were in the studio, take
a look at the video footage. We’ve noticed this track goes down
really well at gigs:
“I
know a girl called Rocker Lily
She
can do things that’ll drive you silly
She
ain’t that pretty, she ain’t that fine
She
always looks better after drinking wine
She’s
got a hold on me, She’s got a hold on me
Dirty
Rocker Lily, Dirty Lily”
Now
to Track number 9 – “She’s Got It” - and people who have
followed the band from the early days will know that this track first
appeared on our
self-titled EP back in 2006! However, we’ve given it a bit of a
revamp, to bring it up to the level of the rest of the tracks on the
album, giving “She’s Got It” a whole new look and feel. Like
Dirty Lily this is another song about a bit of a naughty girl:
“She’s
got it, in the way she whirlwinds that pole
She’s
got it, money for lust is her goal
She’s
got it, in the way she glides around that stage
She’s
got it, she blows my temperature guage”
We
have a few other songs from the early band days and intend doing the
same with them so look out for some old favourites on album no 2!
Now
moving on to the social side of life in London! We realised that the
bar next door to our digs was running a pool competition, we
practised all week for this competition but when the other players
turned up we realised these guys knew what they were doing – they
pretty much lived on the pool table. See how we got on in today’s
extra video footage – here’s a clue – it’s called SWEET
VICTORY! Come on Leo . . .
