SSTN at DEAF poster



Poster that I designed for our forthcoming gig at DEAF this year. Many thanks to Barry Quinn for the drawing that features in the middle. Pretty happy with it I think. Was going for a sort of retro-futuristic nostalgia sorta buzz and I'm feeling it when I look at it.

Acstc 6: Summer Over

Acstc 6: Summer Over by Dusk Grotesk

Wrote & recorded this yesterday. It was a pain. As I've been recording these I had decided that I wouldn't do any comping of takes, because they don't have to be perfect & cause I thought it would save time. But yesterday it seemed I couldn't play this one through the whole way at all, even in my usual shite manner, so the whole thing just devolved into much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Got there in the end but by the time it was finished this little off-the-cuff number that I hoped to get down real fast had ended up being laboured and much hated. Don't think the song-writing is up to scratch, though I am quite fond of the lyrics. Anyway, I will hopefully feel different about it after the irritation of the recording process has faded. I usually do.
