Ahh the Quiet, the brushing of the trees, the whisper of the wind and in the distance the whirr of lonely cars gliding along the motorway to a destination unknown. It is the hour after the Riot Act, the lost hour between Saturday night and Sunday morning. Is it happiness, regret, embarassment, saddness or hope that you feel. God knows where you've woken up or how you're going to get home. Ahh yes the Quiet Act. Its early Sunday morning and i'm drunk but when I get home I'm going to listen to a record because it'll sound really good. I'll don the headphones and turn it up really loud and when I awake Sunday afternoon my ears will be ringing and my head will be pounding but it was fun while it lasted. Weird recently recorded their sixth studio album 'Quiet Act' up north in a quiet place. Out now, CD from the band and NOW ON itunes

    May already how times flys. Its been a difficult year so far but now we are reguarly getting down to the room to practise. We've got Firkin Outburst to re-release, the Official Bootleg 2 and Live at the Lodge all coming out this year. Stop gaps are great!! Our next lp is way off, however we all agreed that writing should commence soon.

    Firkin Outburst is our 2nd lp that we had to re-record, once we've done that all 6 lp's will be complete

    Live at the Lodge was a wee live acoustic set we played during the Quiet Act recording session however micing problems played havoc with the vocals so we'll re-record the vocals so it'll be er, semi live!

    Official Bootleg 2 is another collection of rough recordings that have laid about for years.

    I am currently listening to loads of old records by the band and will have a new bootleg for Weird listeners very shortly. Firkin Outburst will also finally get its release this year, the lp is only 10 years old! As for new material well i'm really keen to get cracking on, so lets say we start writing late summer we should hopefully have a new lp 2010.

  • Hey all.

    The four of us will be back in the practise room in the next couple of weeks. We hope ideas will start to flow, we'll write new songs and record them next year. We are also going to try and play a few gigs again. So loads to look forward to.

    Pabs, Deek, Bo and Stu

    Will let the aussie know about itunes, thanks for that.

    Check out this group, think you guys might like them: Springbok Nude Girls

    They are a south african band : http://www.myspace.com/thenudegirls

    An aussie told me about them and they have a good sound, at least I think so with my limited musical knowledge.

    I am seriously loving it, think I am listening to it for the 3rd time since I got it yesterday. I like being able to sing along with it a bit and it also makes a nice mellow way to spend an hour or so but at the same time can turn it up and enjoy the beat.
    Paul sounds great singing these songs, sometimes I thought his voice seemed strained on some of the rock songs, just a bit, but it really suits him with the acoustic album. I also love the accent coming through!

    Woohoo!!! Sllab sent it and it came in less than a week, sweet as...
    Love the beat of "Who are you??", very different melody to what you guys usually do. In fact it seems like a whole new sound from what I am used to. Love it! See you for beer in a few weeks. PS the superman solo is still my favorite....

    The master is making its way to iTunes so it'll be on there soon. The CD is at the printers, one page (the credits) has been causing a problem so we're fixing that. We're all fine, getting holidays out the way then back to the practise room and hopefully a few gigs in the Autumn.

    am listening to "Glass People", really like it, especially the guitars, the sound is awesome, very relaxing. Can't wait till Quiet Act comes out so I can download that one.
    Hope you guys have a gig in october, once you recover from oktoberfest, am still hoping to wander over that way.

    Big thanks to Greg and Deek for coming through with your mates on Sunday night.
    It makes the world of difference to look out to a crowd and see friendly faces.
    Hope you enjoyed the new sound guys.
