The Great Lost Band of Manchester: The Distractions

Hello to all if you're still reading...in the middle of September Steve came over from Australia and Ian, the person who runs Fishrider records, arrived from New Zealand to play drums. Arash, Nick and myself met both of them and we went into a recording studio in Exeter, where the backing tracks for 13 new songs were completed. I still have to sing the final vocals and Steve and Nick have to complete the guitar overdubs, but what we are in the middle of is the third album, currently referred to as Distractions III. REALLY pleased with how it's going, hopefully for release late summer 2016. (Yes, it takes months to get pressed; the result of cd and mpeg jointly).
Can't wait,but only just over 300 sleeps!

 

Hi Mike, any news for us?

 

The delays with clearances on the Chris Wood 'Evening Blue' set have impacted the subsequent 'Parabolically Yours' Distractions set from HiddenMasters. What's a few more months when we've waited 5 years for this compilation (and 36 years for a reissue of Nobody's Perfect)? On a positive note, the third album is in the can.

 

Thanks for the update, granata!

 

New album out soon!
