Recording new EP at Riverside Studios

Sunday, March 3, 2013

The rap about a wrap that wrapped like a wrapper around a rapper

SPOILER ALERT! LYRICS TO NEW SONG BELOW

Yo yo yo

There once was a wrap

And we put a rapper in the wrap cos he rap yo

And it wrapped like a wrapper when the rapper rapped

He was wrapped in thought yet wrapped in a wrap

That’s a wrap y’all


Of course this is still a work in progress. However you will never be able to look at the word “wrap” ever again without questioning the spelling of it (or is that just us?)

Basically, to all our loyal followers (lol #swag) who are following us, we haz some new news that gnu’s never knew! 

We are currently in the middle of recording our DEBUT EP. How exhilarating. It really has been an absolutely mind-blowing experience for the four of us and, even though we’re not even halfway through yet (it’s a long process y’all), we are very overwhelmed at what we so far have got down (or is that too egotistical?). 

To cite ourselves whenever any little thing happens (i.e. upcoming gig, rehearsal, new song, somebody sneezed, Josh drew an astonishingly beautiful boaby-cat etc), you guys are in for a treat. As are you gals. 

We love every single one of our fans, friends, family and fairy cakes and if it weren’t for you, we would not be recording at these studios. You guys got us here. In fact, you should all just come up to the studio and record the EP for us considering this is your work. We would be more than obliged to have a snooze on the surprisingly comfortable Riverside couches while you guys sweat it out, if you think you can handle it.

Thank you for your support guys, you’ve given us all this and in return we’re handing back a kickass debut EP, paired with an EP Launch Gig (got to be done guys, sorry), Q&A’s on the side, music video(s) and maybe even a little merch if you’re good.. And that’s only the beginning of the plans, we have even more on the way..

This is our year, we can feel it in our bones. And we’re going to own this year, it looks like we’re going to need some people to own it with. Help us rule the kingdoms of ‘13 and sail away into the sunset on a boat with us. Pretty please?

B.

We have never been prouder to stand tall and call ourselves Valid on Sundays.

We have a tumblr?

Well this is a pleasant surprise guys. I totally forgot we owned this tumblr as it’s been so long since it’s last use. However I’m so taking control of this badboy once again and not letting it down again. 

To brief any of you readers on what we’ve been up to recently, we have been beyond lucky to get the opportunity to record at two amazing recording studios; the brand new Bare Calf Studios with the very talented Michael Butler, and Scotland’s largest recording studio Riverside Studios with the prestigious Duncan Cameron who has some pretty big bands on his sound engineering CV and has 45 years of recording experience (he’s also been on the other side of that intimidating sound engineer glass - he has appeared on many other albums playing many instruments including banjo, bass, guitar, slide guitar, vocals, Uillean Pipes, pedal steel guitar and mandolin - frankly I find that pretty impressive).

We understand how fortunate we have been to be awarded these things and we’re currently recording an EP between these two studios, which we cannot wait to release to you guys. We have no idea how it’s going to go, because we’re going into these studios with a rough idea of how our songs go (despite playing them for over a year at gigs we’re keeping open minded) and we’re just adding and changing and taking away while we’re in. Like for example, during the recording of Back Inside the Boundaries at Bare Calf, we were changing the guitar parts all over the place and adding all these new drums parts in and messing around with synth parts and vocal parts and it almost sounds like a new song. It really is an amazing experience, and once we’re done of course we’re going to have a wee EP Launch gig on the go and we can bring all our musical mayhem straight to you.

For the time being however, we have a practice tonight which I personally am very excited about as due to prelims and the like it’s been too long since we’ve done something together so it’ll be interesting to say the least to see how it goes. As always, we’re open to song suggestions.

So to our 9 followers and anyone else who wishes to read this, we will be using this tumblr a lot more often now, so feel free to promote us or reblog this post to get us a bit more well known in the glorious land of Tumblr and unicorns.

Over and out,

Ben

4th practice with Max - new drummer - and our 5th or 6th practice of this song. Very unrehearsed.

We are sorry to announce the departure of our drummer Ewan. After much consideration we have let him go. This, however, is only a temporary stumble for the band and we will out in the gigging world with our new drummer (soon to be announced) very shortly.
We wish Ewan all the best in his musical adventures.

Dusting off the tumblr.

Hey guys.

It’s been a while since we’ve used tumblr but we thought we should finally dust it off and give you handful of dedicated tumblr fans some information on the band.

We have recently been very very busy preparing for our super important gig at the Attic which is now coming up in FIVE DAYS. We’ll be playing some older classics, and we’ll even throw in our BRAND NEW SONG and a couple of new covers (such as Levels by Avicii and What You Know by Two Door Cinema Club)

Of course we’ve made a brilliant start at selling out our tickets, with only a fifth of them gone, so if you’re still to buy one you can get them from Ben :)

We had a very eventful rehearsal at Riverside on Friday night, and we’ll be sharing some nice wee surprises with you within the next week on our new sound that we’re working on.

So stay tuned to our tumblr, as chances are we’ll be using it a lot more now to tell you all about what’s going on in the Valid on Sundays world.

PS - remember to get voting at http://www.redbullbedroomjam.com/band/valid-on-sundays/ - give us a wee 5 star and a comment and we’ll love you forever :)
