Mispent Storm Brewing ! - 14 May 2008
OK, I accept, maybe the weather metaphor in the subject line is
getting a bit stretched now that we're playing Storm, Leicester
Square a third time ! However, it's a thunderously (!) fine venue; excellent sound, lighting, vibe, location etc and this time we may have our management company attending.... so come on down and help us whip up a whirlwind of sonic energy. Sorry couldn't resist....!
It's to be this FRIDAY 16 MAY - we're on at 8pm, finished by 8.30pm; so good if you'd like to go on from there.......see "Calendar" for more details.
Stepping Stone Deal With SiBee Records! - 14 April 2008
We're very pleased to have signed a short rolling deal with SiBee Records - coming soon at http://www.sibeerecords.com ! The idea is to get "Climbing Frames" and other fine independent music airplay in public spaces - hotels, restaurants etc on the basis of an exclusive relationship with SiBee. This cuts out heavy generic royalty fees for Fat Cat publishers; which is better for less known musicians and clients alike.....we hope this is the beginning of a full contract !

Live @ The Comedy ! - 1 December 2007

Postcard From LA ! - 4 July 2007
After spending 2 weeks in the California sunshine we have established a second base in Hermosa Beach, LA !

Happy New Year ! - 7 January 2007
Very best wishes for 2007 - may this be a fine year for you !
Can I take this opportunity to highlight the fact that we're on iTunes properly now; after the odd glitch or two ! We therefore really have to stop complete freebie listening at themispent.com. Please, if you can, show you support and acquire "Climbing Frames" once and for all... either in digital or physical form - by clicking on the "buy" icon to the left. The work may not be compromised by record label involvement, but then neither is it financed !
