Me and Pete have recorded an acoustic version of Sea Shanty. You can hear it on our ReverbNation profile here, it’s the first song in the list or you can click this link to open up a little music player in a new window.
Check it out and let us know what you think.
A little while ago myself and Pete wrote a tune for our awesomely talented friends at Karrot Animation which they have used for their current showreel. We roped in Simon from Ground Dust to help out with some super shuffley brushes and snare too. It’s very different from the usual stuff we play though it has had a live airing at a couple of our acoustic gigs.
Check out the Karrot Animation website and it’s the music that plays along with the showreel at the top of the page.
Be warned - if you do listen to it you’ll be humming the tune ALL DAY LONG!
We are gonna be live n loud 27th May 2009 at South of the Border, Old Street, London. It’ll be our last gig in these parts for a little while as we have some plans for June that involve Dorset, Caravans and 16 track tape. Intriguing eh? We are on first so get there earlyish and we’ll be blasting out a couple of new songs too.
It’s a little short notice I know but I’m sure one or two of you lovely people will be free. A poster is being put together by the talented Mr Mindzap aka Jack and we are going to be giving away 20 of these beauties for free on the night. I’ll update this post with the poster as soon as it’s ready. (It’s ready!)
For those that are interested here are some links to the gig…
There are various places all over the internet where you can hear our music and I’ve listed the best here. They will all be updated with any new music and videos we produce so you’ll always be able hear anything that you want.
Everything is on Last.fm and I would thoroughly recommend heading over there to check us out and then checking out some of the associated artists. It’s an awesome service and I use Last.fm a lot for discovering new (and old) music.
All our music is also on ReverbNation which is another great service and they have extra stuff like widgets (see below) that you can grab for yourself and put on your own website if you desire.
Of course we have our stuff on our MySpace and Facebook pages but I doubt anyone uses either of these as their music player of choice. Finally there’s iLike if you use this site.
Lowering the Tone is now on iTunes, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.com and a multitude of other digital online stores. If you use another place to buy mp3s then it’s probably there. Both iTunes and Amazon sell mp3s DRM free now.

This is I Wanna Be live at Watford Walkabout 2nd April 2009. It was a strange place for a band of our weight to be playing but we had an awesome gig. Thanks to Paul T for the filming and TCCF Promo for putting us on.

We made a video of us playing one of our new tracks - Hark at You. Have a butcher’s…
