Bryan during our last Clinton session

Bryan during our last Clinton session

Here’s a shot of Bryan during our last session at Clinton Studio.  Notice the hygene issues (he’s barefoot and unshaven).  I also don’t think we had enough mic stands.

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome

Hello everybody, and welcome to the new home of our new band.  For the past year or so, myself, Toby, Bryan, and Matt have been diligently working between other bands, other jobs, and significant others to carve out time to flex a new creative muscle.  After an extended bout around trying to finalize a name for said project, we’ve landed here, as English Kills (more, possibly, to come on that later).  Anyway, for any of you that MAY be reading this right now, we’ll be rolling out each and every channel that we can to disperse our new music into the digital stratosphere of this World Wide Clusterfuck.  In the meantime, as many of you may have seen, we (mostly Toby) will proceed to roll out anything that catches our whims.  Stay tuned, as we’ll be bombarding you with music (soon) as well as updating you on the virgin voyage of English Kills into the live arena (something I’m salivating for at the moment).  And hey, if you’re actually ever reading any of this at any point, know that we love you.

Cheers,

Simon

Toby's New 1970 Jazz Bass

Toby's New 1970 Jazz Bass

This just in! (or rather will be just in when it gets delivered on Monday).  I am now the proud owner of this 1970 Fender Jazz bass.  I plan on utilizing this bass as a “working” bass, this will not be shelved to collect vintage status, this is a players bass, and play it I will.

English Kills initial site

Today marks a big day in the life of the band English Kills.  The site, although not too noteworthy among the savvy design community, is now live!  All is took was a domain, a hosting account, and a killer picture of simon drunk on Rum Punch, and we’re off and running.   Stay tuned for massive updates as time progresses!
