offramp Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 interesting music promotions in conjunction with KING CREOSOTE & FOUND present ‘My 15th Bit of Strange in 17 Years’ Tuesday, 27 November 2012The Blue Lamp, 121 Gallowgate, Aberdeen, AB25 1BU. Phone (01224) 647472Doors 8pmTickets £25On sale Monday 17 September, from http://www.foundtheband.com/, plus a limited amount (with added booking fee) in One-Up Records, Belmont Street, Aberdeen. Phone (01224) 642662. http://www.facebook.com/interestingmusicpromotionshttp://www.twitter.com/@IMP_aberdeen This unique tour will see Mercury Music Award nominated King Creosote and BAFTA Award winning FOUND come together to perform King Creosote’s "My Nth Bit of Strange in Umpteen Years" live album. The live album was launched in 2009 as a reaction to downward spiralling record sales and the ever decreasing value of a recorded album, whilst attempting to make the live show an absolute "must see". The album has already been performed over a dozen times with various members of the KC band, the fence collective & guests, and most recently with Lancastrian super group The Earlies in 2011. For these, the 15th-18th Bits of Strange, audience members are asked to arrive with a portable recording device to record this unique version of a continually evolving live album, and to share it with whoever they like. As KC explains: “Recording these shows on portable battery powered equipment is optional, but highly recommended. We doubt there’ll be a studio version anytime soon, and you never know, over the tour we might pull four very different versions out of the bag." The 4-date tour will bring the ensemble to each member’s hometown: Tuesday 27 November: Aberdeen, The Blue Lamp (Capacity 100) Wednesday 28 November: St. Andrews, The Barron Theatre (Capacity 66) Thursday 29 NovemberEdinburgh, The Scottish Story Telling Centre (Capacity 99) Friday 30 NovemberHawick, Heart of Hawick (Capacity 108) Saturday 1 DecemberHomecoming End of Tour Party, venue TBA Tickets are priced at £25 each and for that buyers will receive all exclusive tour merchandise: *A limited edition whisky glass etched with a different logo for each location designed by KC & FOUND to represent their home towns *A "Bits of Strange Homecoming Tour" tea towel *A pot luck King Creosote album from his back catalogue *Free entry to the Homecoming End of Tour Party with special guest djs Each show will commence with a tasting of a limited edition single cask whisky being produced by Dewar’s specifically for the Homecoming tour. There will also be a different support set for each venue from the various members of the King Creosote band and FOUND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Haven't listened to mine yet. It's just on my phone so don't imagine it's fantastic. There was some folk down the front with proper mics and laptops setup though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Had a listen to my recording yesterday. Starts off OK but once the full band kicks in it pretty much overwhelmed my phone's mic. Lots of buzz and distortion. So would definitely be interested in a copy of anyone else's that isn't rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 mine's ok. will get it online over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
