After listening ... YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!!

TREVOR AND ROGER'S THIRTEEN STYGIAN TALES
where most minds dare not go

Two years in the making my epic rock band "Stonehinged" has just finished their final track to put this twisted and tormented baby to bed.  You will definitely want to sit down and listen to the whole album in one sitting...AND once you do, you will be wondering if you are the one who's gone insane or if Trevor and Roger's influence has tipped you gently over the edge...Now in the mastering phase, stay tuned for a 2011 release.

PART II - In The Making ... yes, there is a part II.  The actual bizarre story of these two Fine British Gentlemen tieing all the songs together in a nice, tidy, unpredictable hallucination of a tale.  An album you won't be able to live without.  An album like none you've ever experienced.

An album you'll want to put in your player on a long journey to nowhere.  The pain, the passion, the glory, the friendship of a soul teetering on the brink of INSANITY ... INSANITY ... INSANITY .... INSANITY ...

"A nice cup of tea and everything will be fine ... pass the brownies"

This is cool Cas .."Where most minds dare not go" indeed LOL .... I'd buy it ..and I already have it

This is very cool Ian. Really has your signature sound. Drums, vocals, bass... Very consistant.  I really dig your music and would love to have an album. I think you have some killer songs well worth mastering and burning to disc. I was listening to the radio on the way home tonight and the DJ's said here's a new band from California and they are very cool. I listen to the song and think WTF?? The tune was really mainstream and no meat. Really plain.    The stuff done here walks all over most of the stuff you hear on the radio waves. I don't get it. If I heard this song on the radio I would think.... wow.. what a cool band. Strange eh!! 

Keep em coming!!

and when do I get to play on one?

Hey Dave
That is very nice of you ...The fact is that all the tracks coming out of MCS knock the spots off any chart material but we dont have reality or talent shows behind us so we would never get listened to ... for some reason that I have never understood the vast majority of the listening public need to be told what to listen to and that can only be done be a publicity machine... That being said as long as we make the music for ourselves and enjoy doing it we cant loose can we.
I am pretty sure we will see it through to a physical disc ...mainly for our own therapy I suspect ...but it will bring the project to a natural close.
There will be lots of silly songs to come Dave and I'm sure we will work together soon

Cheers and have a Great Christmas

It will definitely go to a CD and I will be putting it inconsignment shops throughout North America.  I am compiling a list now and there are some really good ones in the USA who will take this sort of stuff.  One in particular in Los Angelas that I like.  The hard part is maintaining administration of everything.  Sending 10 CDs here and there and contacting them by email every couple of weeks to see how things have progressed and if they need more and following up every six months to collect the money or they keep or discard the CDs, that sort of thing. 

If I can set up a network of consignment shops in areas that collaborators live, we can help each other out.  I'd organize the promotion and our collaborators/street teams can help with the admin and get a free album or a %.   Ideally, sending some cardboard point of purchase displays along or it will just get hidden on the shelves with all the others.  AND, most of these places will put posters in the their windows.  So, we can just print out on 11 x 17 paper in color and that would work.  With $1,000 we could do a lot actually especially with the help of a street team and all of us working together.  It's time to take over Muuuuhahahah.  Any of our collaborators that perform in gigs, we'll get them to sell our CDs and most folk festivals have a booth that allow local artists to sell their CDs so the street teams could drop of CDs as well and pick them up when the festival is over.  People spend a lot of time browsing and ALWAYS give a free CD to the people in the CD tent to play as well.

Can we get a Sponsor please LOL.   I have my hooks into a few things at the moment that I hope will bring in some revenue in the new year but I'm not ready to share  .  Some very interesting royalty opportunities.  And, this week for some reasone a few foreign indie film producers from Norway linked into me on linkedin so I responded and we're going to chat more in the new year.  These things take time and patience and connections so we just gotta keep plugging away and I'm certain things will happen for us .. I'm positive.

Merry Christmas EVERY one.
