FisheyeAtlanta: News

Only a few days to go until Bigger Than Your Head is unchained from its holding cell and unleashed upon the world. Which begs the obvious question - what does the 'Net have to say about our first born:


Bigger Than Your Head - the wine review site (hmmm I think I now know where Andy got his original inspiration from):

Sound advice: Never eat anything Bigger Than Your Head (let's face it, the album may be many things, but nutritional probably isn't one of 'em):

Sound advice part two: Never automate anything Bigger Than Your Head (set cabin doors to manual at all times):

Sound advice part three: Never invoke anything Bigger Than Your Head (it doesn't like having its name taken in vain and could possibly smite those who do):

How to swallow Bigger Than Your Head (addendum to sound advice #1: the CD is also a potential choking hazard):

Crikey!

The 'F' in Fisheye

The big news this week is that our "Bigger Than Your Head" debut album is back from the CD crafting Elves... and it looks rather handsome even if I do say so myself. In fact it's so darn handsome I'm not too sure we can restrain it from making a bid for freedom before it's official release (free copy on the door at the upcoming Redlight Show Friday, October 24th, 8:30 PM), but we'll try our best.

We've also been tickling lots of new stuff into shape lately, a couple of which may be paraded in public soon... Pappy's been busy! By the way we do also consider suggestions for potential Fisheye cover toons - email us or leave an entry in the guestbook...

"Freebird, Man!"


The 'F' in Fisheye

So, the flurry of Summer gigs is behind us, our debut CD Bigger Than Your Head is in the bag and set for release at our upcoming Redlight Café gig on October 24th... what's new with Fisheye? We've not been idle - there's a backlog of enough new original material for another album to beat into shape, as well as several choice cover tunes to tie down to the operating table, experiment on and surprise folks with.

Whilst on the subject of "new", folks who came to the last JavaMonkey gig also saw (and hopefully heard) the latest addition to Jason's instrument hoard - a Tacoma Papoose 12 string, which should add a little extra jingle to our jangle. They're cute wee beasties: http://www.onlinestagegear.com/brand/tacoma/wing_series/P112-LARGE.jpg
More gnus soon!

The 'F' in Fisheye

Next Saturday, 9/13, sees us return to JavaMonkey, which is an even groovier venue this time of year thanks to the patio. Free copies of our Sampler CD EP will be available, too - together with no cover charge, how much more free stuff could we possibly pack into one evening?!

Hope to see y'all there!

Fisheye's active August continues this coming weekend when we open up Stage 125 at the Grant Park Summer Shade Festival:

Also remember that we'll be giving away copies of our Sampler EP that previews six of the tracks on our upcoming debut CD slated for release in October - speaking of which, the artwork is coming together nicely & looks rather spiffy.

Hope to see y'all there!

PS: Thanks to everyone who saw us at Vickery's - despite the slight chaos and rain we had a blast...

The apparatus sessions have reached their natural conclusion - or at least to the point where we're too nervous about asking Andy to tweak anything more without being loudly barked at and possibly bitten. The net result is that our debut LP - as they used to call them back in the vinyl age (that's the epoch that came just after the Stone Age for all you young 'uns) - is on the verge of being sent out for mastering and duplication.

The more observant in Fisheye-land may have noticed that we've a new show listed, as we return to the Redlight Café on October 24th for what we plan to be our official CD release party. In the meantime, a sampler EP will be available as a giveaway at our upcoming appearances at the Vickery's 25th anniversary show and the Grant Park Summer Shade Festival.

Get 'em while you can!

PS: Thanks to all who came to Kavarna last Saturday - hope y'all had as much fun as we did!
