Galaxia reforming in Manchester on Wednesday evening   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #47 of 93 |
I moved back from Glasgow to Manchester recently and have decided to resurrect my band Galaxia, that first recorded songs in the run-up to the 2005 G8 summit (that took place in Gleneagles, Scotland). I know a female vocalist and a drummer, who will almost certainly attend, but anybody else who agrees enough with my politics (revolutionary socialism with a government elected by proportional representation) is welcome to participate.
 
I have arranged a session in a recording studio (the Cutting Rooms, Abraham Moss campus, City College, Manchester, nearest MetroLink station Woodlands Road, see the map at
http://www.multimap.com/maps/?qs=abraham+moss&countryCode=GB), starting at 6.30pm on Wednesday evening (8th October) for up to three hours. I decided to go for an evening to make it easy for those who work during the day to attend; perhaps we will do an afternoon session next time to make it easier for those who wish to travel from elsewhere in Britain. Adam from the Cutting Rooms, who performed in the original Galaxia tracks, is otherwise engaged on Wednesday evening, but Johnny who also works there could fill in on guitar, bass or keyboards if necessary.
 
I would like us to do recordings of my political songs "The World Is Planned", "Things Can Only Get Bitter" and "Feed The World" (which needs improving - the female vocalist I know is African and I'd like her to help me with the lyrics). "Feed The World" is loosely based on the Band Aid song "Do They Know It's Christmas" and it'd be great if we could have several singers in the chorus!
 
I'd like us to do some love songs as well, particularly "I Wish Cath Was A Folk Rocker (with flowers in her hair)" (updated to say that revolution is once again in the air in 2008, which is certainly the case with the current economic turmoil) and my latest composition "Donovan's Doorway" - soon if not on Wednesday.
 
For free downloads and lyrics, visit http://www.socialiststeve.me.uk/poetry.htm or http://www.galaxiamusic.net. You can also listen/download the songs from the band's MySpace or Facebook pages, or listen to a selection of songs and my unaccompanied musical poetry from my personal pages on those social networking sites. See my signature below for details.
 
My Glasgow band Red Day (http://www.red-day.net), which performed other songs including "9/11 Inside Job", may do further recordings in the future when I visit Glasgow.
