Creative times

Grog here, with a personal update. As some of you know, I like to engage in other projects that inspire me from time to time, and one of those dearest to my heart right now is ‘The Black And Blue Orkestre’ http://www.myspace.com/theblackandblueorkestre which is a collaboration between the illustrious Tom DiCillo (Johnny Suede,Living In Oblivion, Delerious, When You’re Strange..) and Will Crewdson (Rachel Stamp) You can read all about our writing process in Tom’s latest blog here: http://www.tomdicillo.com/blog/?p=328
We’re excited that our cover of 16 Tons will be played in a podcast tomorrow August 1, as part of an in depth interview Tom did for ‘Today Is Boring’ arts related radio show with emphasis on his latest docu-film on The Doors ‘When You’re Strange’. All details in Tom’s blog above.
Will and I have also been working on a project together called ‘Scant Regard’, in which I write and sing vocals.As the name suggests, it throws rules out the window and is pretty experimental. There’s a possible ep in the works! More on that later..
I regard all this ‘extra curricular’ business as highly important to my creative process, as I get to express ideas and record material which isn’t suitable for Die So Fluid, and all the while develop skills and fresh inspirations to ‘bring on home’. Mr Drew and I are currently developing some exciting new tracks for the next Die So Fluid album whilst our new tour schedule is being constructed for the end of summer onwards.
