Dead By Dawn Records

Hello again, welcome to blog #2. I have been getting the band's web stuff together and this blog is going to be the new hub for our online presence. I like the simplicity of it and the links across the top to all the other shizzle. Unfortunately myspace is still our top listing when you google us but I may redesign that to redirect here. Anyway, enough of that...

It may be slightly old news now but we are now on Huddersfield's newest label: Dead By Dawn Records.
The label has been set up by Mikey from the band Mr Shiraz - http://www.myspace.com/mrshiraz and is
going to be a showcase for the finest underground music from Huddersfield including Mr Shiraz, Pinpim and ourselves.

Anyway, the album is out now and available to download online (google us to find sources or better still go to our bandcamp), to listen to on Spotify or to order through our new bandcamp. (http://leobrazil.bandcamp.com/)

We had a fantastic album launch show at The Parish in Huddersfield with support from label mates The Coroners, afterwards I got very drunk and danced the night away to the amazing Dr Huxtable Axis Sound System, my legs hurt for days afterwards. 

This was also the debut for the fifth member of The Twitch - Steven Beever. I have known Beeves for some time as the fantastic keyboards man in Huddersfield's finest funk/soul revue The Nu Popes - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Nu-Popes/137713776248267 and it is a total buzz to be playing with him.

I leave you with some pictures of the album launch and a few of a gig we did for a friend's birthday fancy dress party, thanks to Beezly (http://www.flickr.com/photos/beezly/) and Leah for the pictures!

Blogasaurus

Hello,

If you don't already know me, my name is Leo Brazil. Welcome to the new blog for my band: Leo Brazil and his Twitch. I have kept a blog on myspace for several years but been forced out by the constant "improvements".

This blog will contain news for the band (i've not done a round-up for quite some time on myspace so soon will post a proper blog with all the exciting developments in Twitchville) as well as music related goodness from the fantastic West Yorkshire scene and beyond.

I am currently setting up a Bandcamp site for us as well as a few other bits and bobs so stay posted for news on that!

Thanks for reading, take it east,

Leox

Each blog I will post a link to a video or something of interest, this time it's one of my favourite bands, Wilco. I've been a fan since their second album way back in the day. This is from a film of a recent tour

Wilco - The Late Greats
