Or go to the Music tab of the website for that & all other previous Fisheye Christmas releases.

For a little perspective, here’s a clip of Slade in their full 1973 glory, introduced by the recently departed British national institution that was Sir Jimmy Saville, MBE, bless ”˜im - and also explains the appearance of Quasimodo at the end of our own version:

Not much other news from Fisheyeland, though hopefully balls will start rolling in the New Year”¦

Have a wonderful Winter festival of your choice, and a happy New Year, y’all!

We did have a blast at the last show we did at the end of August for the wonderful folks at the Gainsborough Swim-tennis Club, Andy’s slight attack of the vapors aside...

The only news of note is that Stacked is now available on Spotify:

The ”˜F’ in Fisheye]]> http://fisheyeatlanta.com/news.html#32 Tue, 18 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0700 Acoustic rock group - FisheyeAtlanta - News http://fisheyeatlanta.com/news.html#31
It’s been pretty much steady-as-she-goes in Fisheyeland since then. We had great fun playing a couple of outdoor gigs, firstly at the Atlanta Silverbacks in April, followed by the Virginia Highlands Summerfest in June. Both required plenty of hydration, as it’s been a long, hot summer here in the ATL, and still with some to go”¦

Nothing new Calendar-wise is on the horizon save for a private party in a couple of weeks, though we have been feeling our way around some new original material in the meantime. The new, more electric savoir faire of Fisheye is starting to bed in, as they say”¦

Here's a little slideshow — per Jason:

“It's a sequential story of the rail track mentioned in the song. The opening picture is from 1963, and the cookie cutters are on the right — my house is about level with the steam engine.

The track (Great Central Railway) was built in 1897, and decommissioned in 1967.

My earliest memory is of a seeing train running along the embankment from my pram parked underneath our kitchen window, and I also remember the lines being pulled up. The derelict shots are as it was when it was my playground.”

Oh — there are a few more reviews of Stacked in the Press section, thanks again to Stefan for the translations.

Stay cool, y’all

First up, the new album “Stacked” is now available at iTunes, Amazon & cdbaby — check out the “Buy CDs” page from the website. Our new opus has already had it’s first review (see the “Press” page), which although it’s in Dutch appears to be positive when run through one of those one-line translator whatsits”¦ keep an eye out for the official English translation which shouldn’t be too long in coming.

Second, we’re playing our first show of this year this coming Saturday, as we’re the opening entertainment for the Atlanta Silverbacks soccer game that night — check out the Calendar page for details. We’ll have copies of “Stacked” available, and it’s looking like the official release party will be towards the end of June, so come on down and grab a sneaky advance copy”¦

Lastly, we’ve been working on a few new covers which will get their first public airing this coming weekend (how many more reasons do you need to come on down?), and we’ve been honing our electric alter-ego (oh there’s another one!)

S’all y’all for now,


The ”˜F’ in Fisheye]]> http://fisheyeatlanta.com/news.html#30 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 00:00:00 -0700 Acoustic rock group - FisheyeAtlanta - News http://fisheyeatlanta.com/news.html#29
The biggest news to share so far this year is that our third opus — entitled “Stacked” for no other reason than it is — is now fully fitted out, mixed & mastered. The artwork is about wrapped, so it’s not going to be too long before it’s unleashed. We’ll be making plans for a CD release party & will pass the details along when we have ”˜em.

Though the Calendar page has still got tumbleweeds blowing through, it’s not for want of trying — we did have a return to the Olde Blind Dog firmly penciled in, but then the OBD subsequently canceled their whole live music program shortly after confirmation. Next time you’re in the OBD, tell ”˜em to bring the music back!

Other than that, Jason’s upped the ante again in the Fisheye gear acquisition poker game, having treated himself to a rather dandy new amplifier to nicely round out our electric alter-ego.

There’s also a very complimentary new review for our last album, A Totally Different Disaster, on the website’s Press page, from Rob Lincoln at CDreviewsonline.com.

S’all y’all

You can listen to it on the music player at the top of this website, or you can download it from the Music page where you'll also find our first 3 holiday tunes:

Other news in brief:

The third CD, “Stacked” is in the bag and should be released early 2011. It’s currently at the artwork and pre-mastering stage, as always accompanied by the usual Fisheye collective hand wringing. We’ve already started knocking around some new tunes beyond that. We’re also always open to suggestions to expand our covers repertoire — email us or leave a request in the Guestbook.

The Calendar page is still a little threadbare, though this should be rectified as we glide into 2011. As usual, sign up to receive updates as we line things up.

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year y’all,

So, aside from a private party by moonlight, that pretty much brings things up to date. The final overdubs on the next CD have been laid down, and now Andy is just tweaking the final tweaks and applying the last of the spit & polish. It’s sounding rather lovely.

Other than that, we’ve the annual Fisheye Christmas Spectacularama to fasten in our crosshairs before we shoot it, cook it & serve it up. Suggestions are welcome”¦

Calendar page is rather bare right now, we hope to get out and about again before the end of the year.

See y’all soon,

Then we’ve a big ”˜first’ of a gig coming up this weekend at the Grant Park Summer Shade festival: we’ll be debuting our electric alter-ego, new mandolin’n’all. I only hope the gig is half as good as recent rehearsals — and that it stays dry, in sharp contrast to last year which was spent cowering under what available cover there was. Come on down & see us as we’ve never been seen & heard before —without an umbrella! As ever, check out the Calendar page for details.

We’ve also been pressing ahead with recording for the next album, and things are really looking good — Andy’s gradually morphing into a wigless Phil Spector, sans the models/firearms/jail aspect. There’s some more overdubbing to be done and maybe a couple more tracks to add, then the beast will be just about be there or thereabouts, hopefully to be ready sometime in the Fall.

Slight gear update: Doug has a new crash cymbal, which though on the surface may seem a little low-key, the ears of those of us who stand within a six foot radius whilst he’s smacking it are eternally grateful as it’s a reduced volume thingy. Bliss”¦

That’s about it for now — hope to see y’all real soon!

There’s still no firm news on the longevity of Fisheye, but things are looking up a little. The Calendar page is no longer bare — we’ve shows at the end of August at the Grant Park Summer Shade festival (having been promoted to the main stage this year), as well as playing the Suwanee Days festival in September, and later that month returning to the Olde Blind Dog in Alpharetta for hopefully a drier experience than last time. As usual, check out our Calendar page for details or better still sign up for email updates.

The band gear acquisition poker game has seen the ante raised yet again: Jason has recently become the proud owner of an electric mandolin, which now means that we have the capacity to do a full electric show in the future (pipe down with those cries of ”˜Judas!’, y’all). Here’s the official line on the new beauty: http://www.rickenbacker.com/model.asp?model=5002V58, though Jason’s is a rather lovely ”˜fireglo’ red. Our Facebook page has a picture of her debut at a recent practice session, & no doubt the Fisheye Menagerie page will also see a formal portrait before too long.

That’s about all for now — hope to see y’all at an upcoming show soon.

We enjoyed the private shows — including a first for us, a wedding”¦ Though the last gig we played - at the Olde Blind Dog - proved to be a bit of a challenge due to the heavens opening over us on the patio about 25 minutes into the set, which rather put a damper on things — thanks to all who helped rush to get all of our gear undercover. We did revive enough of ourselves & our gear to finish virtually unplugged...

”¦Which was a shame as this might be our last show for a little while. The observant out there may have noticed that our Calendar page is looking rather threadbare, this being due to us being unable to commit to any future dates for the time being whilst the one indispensable & honeycombed chink in the Fisheye chain faces the possibility of having to relocate from the ATL. Fingers crossed.

But that’s not to say we’ve been totally idle — work continues (although at a subdued pace) on the next album, now being at the stage of kicking a few more newbies into shape before driving Andy nuts with getting them ground through the ol’ apparatus.

S’all y’all for now
