Christmas is looming..... I think it is ok to say that now, with only a couple of weeks to go....
So what have we been doing? Not a lot is the short answer. Stuart has had a few gigs in bars as this is the season for work dos and parties.
Besides, the week before in the studio really was a tiring time and it was a good time to take stock and reflect. This has become a most welcome practice for us and something, watching the world, we could all learn a thing or two from.
In this modern day in age, you can keep yourself so busy that you can quickly burn out. This is a grossly overuse phrase, normally referring to when you go out for a night out with work the next day. Yeah ok, you will be tired, but this is something deeper, and a lot harder to shake.
As working musicians the struggle is real. Both Lizzie and Stuart work during the day and gig, practice and write, record, everything, during their spare time. So quickly you have no spare time.... ever.....
Stuart in particular took 5 days off this week to spend time with his partner who was graduating, and her family over from Holland. Coming into this break he worked EVERY DAY for over a month, between gigs, the studio, writing, editing, and his day job. Now he is back, and things are going to ramp straight back up to busy. We have got the tracks back from the studio, ready for the final day, so planning out the new tracking to be done and putting the final touches to the whole thing, ready for the release in March.
And of course, loads more gigs, a few parties before Christmas and enjoying this time of year.
Remember in the meantime we are giving away tunes for free in the lead in to all this so why not grab a copy and start getting excited for the new tunes coming very VERY soon.
