The 1st seeds are sown

Not sure how many more Garden related titles I can keep going with but still. It was a successful session in The Garden last night, culminating in a good practise of 4 tunes for Fatter, Richer, Wiser - Man Who Runs The Funk, Desmond Dime, Opaque Shapes & Out Of Control. All of which are coming together as it were. Also Disconia a potential new track started life. It may of course get dropped but we'll have to wait till next practise. Vic will be joining us next time on vocals hopefully fulltime so Bins and Sensieve don't need to shout. It was also a good debut for the new analog Korg, given us a slightly new wave sound and ideal for 8min prog rock middle eights. Obviously Steve was late for the rehersal, clearly too important, even after we promised a loan Mercedes SLK to drive him the 10mins from the station once he'd gone to Costcutter for Beer, Lemonade (for the drivers) and cheap sandwiches. What a rider.

Will all be rosy in the Scree garden?

Scree are heading back into the studio again, except this time there heading to The Garden, a decent studio based near Guildford. The Fleecemeister and Bins checked it out today and the facilities are decent, a marked improvement over what we were using and perhaps the magic of Underhedge can be recreated. We head there on the 28th June to start getting down to making the tracks tight. However we will be doing it without the funk groove of The Cat who is moving back to Derby. Vic is also out of action on the 28th but will be taking up full time vocal duties from July. No doubt The Cat will be back for guest appearances.

We'd also like to quash rumours that Steve has left the band for Muse. This is not true. Steve is too busy turning bread into wine for such other band pursuits.
