It's been a little while, but I'm happy to say that Nova's Basement is back rehearsing and getting ready for an upcoming show in Hyde Park!
NB met and rehearsed in a very cool space behind Denmark Street that sold beer over the counter and had great atmosphere. There was graffiti all over the walls, half smoked joints and other detriment all over the floor and, I've been assured, the filthiest toilets ever.
'SUCK MY TINY WILLY' was voted the best piece of graffitti, which Fiona mistakingly thought said 'suck my ting willy' all night. She hasn't told us yet what the hell she thinks a 'ting willy' is....
The girls went over a few old tracks that they are working on revamping a bit. And although it has been a little while, they are sounding really amazing. There are lots of extra strings and vocal harmonies which NB is focusing on more than ever before.
'Her James Dean' came out beautifully (and you have to love the laughs at the end of the track!) and they made huge progress on 'Inside', even though it took a lot of energy. They also remembered 'Stop Hurting' and at the end finished up with a final jam to 'Fiver'.
We're hoping to see everyone in Hyde Park on the 22nd of August. It isn't a big show - just an open rehearsal in the open space for friends of Nova's Basement. We're asking that everyone bring a blanket, something to drink and, if you can, a candle in a glass jar so we have some light. More details (like the exact location... Hyde Park is a big space!) will be coming soon.
I hope you are all as excited as I am that the girls are getting back to it. They really are sounding amazing!
