Sunshine Drenchy Radio...
Yes, the first episode of the Sunshine Drenchy Radio Podcast has been hastily recorded, savagely edited and duly delivered to all and sundry.
Our intention is to record these sunny little episodes on a somewhat regular basis, and have them serve, not only as a way of delivering recording news, gig gossip, and other pressing issues — such as arguing and contrasting the merits of certain yeasty Belgians, malty Germans and shiny hoppy people and beverages of all persuasions, thank you very much — but also as an excuse to sloppily record songs live in the studio in a decidedly "underdub" fashion, and then inflict them upon humble, unsuspecting listeners everywhere.
In episode 1, " Bed Of Ales", Steve Robinson borrows Ditchflower Brian Merrill's shiny Taylor acoustic guitar for a live version of "Weight Of The World" — a song from his first solo effort "Away For The Day" — as well as offering an impromptu sneak preview of a song called "Bed Of Nails", which by all accounts will be recorded for his next solo album. All the while, Ditchflower Ed Woltil joins in on harmony vocals and guitar noodlings, as only he can.
There is also a sneak peek at a new Ditchflowers recording-in-progress, called "Love The Conquerer" that is slated to appear on the next Ditchflowers album. Quite lovely it is, too. The podcast is now available at iTunes. Don't forget to subscribe; it is free after all. We actually tried to make it even cheaper, but we have childeren to feed and clothe, you know.
If, for some reason, you don't have access to iTunes, you can also listen right here... Sunshine Drenchy Radio Podcast.
