I'm not from London you know

Our first single comes out today. Of course I could (and I will) list some of the places where it's available:

iTunes
Wippit
Ditto music

As a bit of added value, what follows is something of how, when and where it was recorded.



This is Foel Studios in Wales, I don't know why I packed that tank-top. We were there for a week last summer before traveling to the Larmer Tree festival; a week during which we recorded Best Friends, had a 'moment' as the van teetered on the verge of a deep ravine and were henceforth rescued by the local farmer. Comparisons to Withnail & I were drawn and we laughed long and hard every time someone quoted a line from the film; "I'm not from London you know...", "Of course he's the f$%&king farmer, look at him!" and "we've come on holiday by mistake" were among the favourites.


The song is the first we recorded as a 3-piece. I played bass for this one and it turned out to be the last MüVs track to feature founding member Hollywood on guitar. Since then I took over on the axe and we continued to develop as a 3-piece to the point where we're now dead chuffed to be looking at a couple of deals for this year.

Really thanks a lot if you've already bought the single and nice one if you're just about to do so.

Christmas Shopping

I am the fastest man on Regent st.

The record was set as I swerved in and out of a stagnant crowd who stood like statues, unaware of the blistering speed and ease by which I was passed through them.

I was the shark who'd sniffed it's prey, they were obsessed with their own delay.

The two days training had really paid off. My senses had dulled the despicable sense of lure from each shop window and on race night I was able to soar where others fell poor.

I was the fastest man on Regent st
Now my steps I must retrace
For every thing I left behind
In my record breaking haste.

The King

The music industry is often a lonely, heartless, back stabber of an animal. Occasionally my faith is restored and I'm reminded exactly why I got into it in the first place, like when I recently met Micheal Jackson:

As well as hanging out with the king of pop I've had the band in the studio for a week. We recorded 4 tracks with Ville & Matt from the Animal Farm pushing the buttons and talking us through everything from a teenage boy's favourite hobby to the definitive A-Z of metal bands. It was an amazing experience and my phone's been ringing pretty much constantly since the tracks went up on myspace, follow this link to hear for yourself.

We're next playing live on the 4th December at The Comedy on Leicester Square, then I'm doing a solo show in Sweden on or around the 25th December if anyone's in the area? ;-)

After that we're finally coming north to play the Frog & Parrot in the city of steel, Sheffield on January 10th. More dates to come so watch this space xx

Best Friends

Shot the video for our debut single Best Friends yesterday. Today I'm aching like I've done two rounds 'gainst a girl, which is exactly what I have done. Really great shoot, thanks to everyone who worked so hard on the day and those who helped in the run up. We shot in Camden after Batman kept us out of Battersea Power Station.

location, location, location

We're looking for a location to shoot the next music video. Imagine a cross between Raging Bull & the Radiohead video, Street Spirit and if you throw into that mix some character (that'll be estate agent jargon for 'bit of a sh1th0le') then we would like to hear from you.

Can't imagine why any of you wholesome lot would know of such a den of inequity...hmmmmm

best unsigned bands of 2007

I implore you to stick with this:




Thanks to everyone for screaming their pants off at The Carling Academy on Tuesday, it seems to have gone down very well with the suits. Got some photos on the way which I'll upload with some news as soon they/it arrives.

There are reports coming in that 'Chav Song' was played on BBC 2 the other morning. In what context I'm not sure but I'm regularly checking the post for the royalty cheque...no sign as yet.

We also got played on Garry Bushells' 'best unsigned & independent bands of 2007' podcast on the 11th. You can hear what he had to say about us by clicking here and following the link to Garry's Rancid Sounds podcast. The show is an unusually good platform for new music - well worth checking out and The MüVs are the first band played on the 11th September show.

You can now find The MüVs at sellaband. This is a platform where 'believers' pledge their support of a band in crisp green $$$$, find out more byclicking the banner:
