Hi Folks
I know it’s been a long time since i’ve typed on my blog, but now we have started 2012, the real business of where TPT is going can now begin. As well as getting on the road and playing some memorable gigs in 2011 (our two London headline shows being a highlight for me), most of my energy was spent writing what will become TPT9 later this year. Thankfully, the songs are written and nicely demoed up in my studio. I’ve never spent so long and put so much energy into the song writing process.
Today we arrived as the Chapel Studios in Lincolnshire to spend 7 days tracking drums and bass (plus anything else we can fit in our 22 hour working days), which will hopefully involve me tracking most of the guitars using Darran’s (from Godsticks) fantastic guitars as well as my old, trusty tele.
Mixing and any overdubs will then continue in Yeovil, with a quick trip over to Prague to record a 22 piece string section in March. We’re lucky enough to have Andrew Skeet arranging and conducting the strings for that. We also have the small issue of tracking a choir which will feature on two of the new tracks.
It’s going to be very busy, but I will tweet as much as possible (especially this week) to share our progress and the journey. Nothing has ever been as big as this in the history of TPT. The plan at the moment is to release in September 2012 with an EP late spring to get things moving.
Follow me on twitter (if you want to really keep up to date).
Thanks as always to all the fans who came out to support us 2011 – from Glasgow to Gdansk your support is inspirational.
Bruce
