Feeling The Glow...

...is FINALLY up as a full band studio track on our MySpace! It was recorded, mixed and mastered by the man, the myth, the legend (and our good friend) Dave Saunders in his living room. It may or may not be available to buy soon. We'll see :-)

Feeling The Glow...

The Yanks

Charlie isn't the only one to be languishing in the lands of procrastination. Hanging out in the US these past few days with an American family playing Amercian drinking games hasn't been the most productive week so far, but it has showed me that the Yanks will listen to any music you show them, across the board. I was fortunate enough to meet one guy called Dooney who asked me about the music back in the UK. Thanks to good 'ole Spotify, he listened to about twenty songs back to back, and gave his full attention to everything, even if he didn’t like it. Several of his friends were the same and it just surprised me away how passionate they are about new sounds or unknown bands. All of the people I've met over here seem to be the same, jamming away to Friendly Fires, or Dizzee Rascal even though they have no idea what he's saying. Several of the people out here have even heard a little bit of Arcady Bliss too and it seems to be going down quite well. Their response to my cultural lesson was to show me a YouTube clip entitled "Bro Rape"...but never mind.

Please head down to the Songwriting competition tonight and support Charlie. Thanks again to everyone who came the other night to the Boileroom (or Boom) and supporting us.

Take it easy,

Go and find it HERE ...before it's too late!

Arcady Bliss Spotifriday Playlist #2

"OMG!"...

...as they say in the parlance of t'interweb. I can't believe that I've spent the best part of another whole Friday in front of my computer and, thus far, neglected a fair few of the jobs I intended to do today. All I wanted to do while I'm hear is inform you that I've just confirmed a solo show for Sunday in aid of the Court Meadow School for children with special needs at The Swan Mountain Range Restaurant & Bar in Forest Row. Please come and support if you can (I'll give you a lift from Gtown if you like). Tickets can be booked in advance from 01342 822318 for £5 or they are £10 on the door. All proceeds go towards the charity.

Also, don't forget to pop down to the Boileroom on Tuesday (26th May) to support me as I play "Feeling The Glow" and try to win a prize of some sort...I'm not even sure what!lol Anyway, come down if you're in Guildford, have a few bevs and listen to some cracking tunes.

Right! I'm going outside for some air...

"OMG!"...

I just can't...

...stop smiling after last night's gig at The Boileroom :-) We played really well and had an awesome time with friends and all the other bands. Congratulations to Deadlight for getting through, and major kudos to Cubrik and Luna Park Rescue for being awesome and making it a gig to remember.

If anyone has any photos or videos of our performance, please email them to me on chelwess@gmail.com and in return I'll send you any MP3s of our tracks that you want. Sound good? Get on it!

Charlie <3

I just can't...

Last night at Bar Med...

...was fully badass and we had an amazing time! If you came, I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did and that you'll come and vote for us in the Battle of the Bands @ The Boileroom tomorrow night (19/5/09) . It's going to rock. Hard.

Charlie

Last night at Bar Med...

Spotifriday!

A shout out to all you Spotify users!

We've totally nicked the concept of Spotifriday from one of our favourite music websites, DrownedInSound and we'll be doing a playlist every Friday (well, as often as we remember) consisting of 3 tracks from each band member. Please find the link to the very first one below, and have a good listen 'cause we reckon it's pretty damn cool! Why not send us your own playlists in return? Get on the MySpace, Facebook or Twitter pages and send us your mixes.

Happy Spotifriday!

Spotifriday!

Time's Moving On in May

Good evening all,

I suppose this is a bit late coming seeing as there have been many goings on in the land of Arcady recently and this post comes to you on the eve of a particularly busy few days! On the Sunday 17th we will playing at Bar Med and on the 19th we will be playing the second heat of the ACM battle of the bands at The Boileroom. Obviously your support would be much appreciated on the night as the audience votes, but I feel a bit wary about attempting to pile in as many friends as possible in order to secure the most votes. It might be just me, but I feel it takes a bit away from the music...and it will be an amazing night of live music.

Also worth the mention is the gig that me and Charlie played as a duo on Monday supporting John Bramwell of I Am Kloot. It was great to get the duo going and also nice to be asked to play on the back of our first full band gig in April.

On the recording front, we recorded six live tracks with Mike Avent of iMeetEye and a few of those are currently on the MySpace. If you haven't already heard them, check them out at www.myspace.com/arcadybliss. We also recorded 'Feeling the Glow' with Dave Saunders recently and it's in the process of being mastered so look out for that on the MySpace too.

Congratulations are in order for Charlie as 'Feeling the Glow' got through to the final of the ACM song-writing competition. There are some great tracks in the final and being included in the last 13 of 151 entries is an achievement in itself.

Finally, Arcady Bliss have their first festival appearance at Beach Break Live in Cornwall. We'll be playing on Thursday 18th of June at12:45pm on the ACM New Music Stage, so if you're at Beach Break, you know where to be!

Time's Moving On in May

And so...

...it begins. The journey into the deepest depths of the Arcady Blog, the official journal documenting the happenings, thoughts and creativity of Arcady Bliss. This is not just a place for news and updates, but a space in which I hope we will also post much more. I think of this as a space for other creative and thoughtful outlets, whether they be photographs, short stories, videos, poetry or ramblings long or short of any kind.

Please come with us, subscribe and keep reading as we stumble headlong into an unknown future.

I think it could be exciting.

:-)

Charlie.
