Carrie Beehan and A.I.T.Q.R 'Bloody Haircuts'

New song 'Bloody Haircuts' out today from Carrie Beehan and A.I.T.Q.R. (Alazon In The Quiet Room/Displaced)

The song was penned over 28 years ago in Berlin. It is not about hairdressers but rather Skinheads and neo-fascism. “Right here, right now it’s back.”

Recorded in NYC the song features Carrie on vocals and guitar, Stan Mitchell on drums, David M Patterson on guitars, Andrew B. White on bass, Rima Fand on violin, Louisa Bradshaw on BVs with production and mix by Robert L. Smith.

Miriam Clancy, Greg Fleming AND The Working Poor

Two new releases which I worked on album art for are out now.

Miriam Clancy is a US-based New Zealand artist and has just released her new album Astronomy, recorded in NYC and produced by Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Zola Jesus, TV On The Radio, Beach House). Greg Fleming is an Auckland, New Zealand artist and Get Off At Lincoln was recored at Auckland’s Lab Studios with Ollie Harmer and Greg’s Working Poor band.

Trivia 1: Both cover images were shot by the artists themselves.

Trivia 2: I played bass for several years with Greg in New Zealand and also produced his 2012 album Edge Of The City which featured Miriam Clancy on BVs. On October 14th I’ll be playing bass with Miriam Clancy at Brooklyn’s Knitting Factory for the Astronomy release show! It’s all a big circle!

Astronomy is also available in CD format as a mini LP cardboard wallet.
