THE GRAZING SAINTS triple-LP concept album!
Local psych-blues trio The Grazing Saints have announced a series of three LPs. Each album will focus on the musical mind of one of the three band members, Joe, Mic (pronounced "Mick"), and Paul (also pronounced "Mick"), with all three records being released on the same day, and fitting together in a specially made pyramid shaped record sleeve.
The band will debut the songs from each LP at three special gigs over the Halloween weekend. Each night, local artists will improvise a huge mural at the back of the stage, whilst the band provides the musical soundtrack. These murals will then form the artwork for each of the three LPs.
The titles of the records have yet to be revealed officially, but if our source is to be believed (Mmmm, sauce..), then here are all three LP titles in full:
LP One - You Must Be Joe Quinn! - the many moods of Joseph Quinn
LP Two - Are You Taking The Mic? - percussive textures from the mind of Michele Amato
LP Three - Paul The Other One! - from the soul of all-too-often-neglected bassist Paul Taylor
LP One will be translucent red vinyl, LP Two will be green, with LP Three apparently being blue. The triple gatefold LP sleeve will fold together forming a pyramid shaped stand for all three records to stand on, the idea being that when you look through all of them at the same time you'll "see the light", as it says in the band's press release. They even include a small clip-on light in the elaborate packaging (batteries not included).

Local record producer David Pi reveals bizarre secret to his success!!
As very few of you know, David Pi is the great, great, great, great, great grandson of William Jones, the famous Welsh mathematician, who amongst his other achievements invented Pi (the constant ratio of the circumference to the diameter of any circle). David is now the sole heir to the Jones millions. But, it came at a price..
After signing a confidentiality agreement on his 16th birthday, David had to immediately change his surname to "Pi". Secondly, no matter what profession David chose to pursue, he had to agree to publicise Pi at every instance, by using the world famous number (3.14159265359) at every given opportunity.
A typical day for David Pi (nee Jones) starts with him being awoken at 3.14am by his alarm clock, tuned to 314 on the AM dial, awaking him with the sound of white noise, from being tuned between stations. David has come to love and hate the sound of white noise, to this day insisting on insterting 3.14 decibels of it into every song he works on.
David then sprints the 3.14 seconds to his round dining table, sitting at the first of 3.14 chairs nestled beneath it. He then tucks into 3.14 Weetabix, or grapefruits, depending on how he feels that day. Then it's a swift 3.14 minute sprint to the bus stop, where he catches the Number 314 bus directly to "314 Studios & Bakery".
And so his working day begins.
David, working at a circular mixing console, sits menacingly in the middle, concentrating almost unbearably intently on the first of what will be 3.14 songs that he will work on that day. After working straight through to mid-afternoon, at 3.14pm he has a short 3.14 minute break, during which he wolfs down 3.14 of his famous "Dave's Pies" pies, freshly made in the bakery above the studio that very morning by his Assistant Engineer & Head Baker, Thomas Joy (more about him in a forthcoming post..). Then, it's back to work for another 3.14 hours, before sprinting to his part-time job, coincidentally situated exactly 3.14 miles away, at Noble's Book Barn.
3.14 hours later, after a gruelling shift of manually lugging mountains of cut-price books around, David slinks next door, exactly 3.14 metres away, to his 3.14 storey house, still finding the energy somehow to skip up the 3.14 doorsteps, falling asleep 3.14 seconds after his head hits the pillow on his 3.14 poster bed. His 3.14 tog quilt helping whisk him away to a relaxing and energising 3.14 hours of sleep. Will he dream? Will he have 3.14 dreams? Nobody knows. But what we do know, is that David Pi is up there with the best producer/bakers we have. So if you have a record that needs recording, or a Pie that needs Pi-ing, and noone else can help; then maybe you should call 01603 314159 and hire, David Pi.
