VILLAGE GREEN MACHINE Ok, the band is a phenomenon, in the rehearsal studio. Really difficult to get gigs though. Really bad!!
So we have decided finally to set up a local residency, and we'll play a load of 60s pop 45s and have a party. And of course Village Green Machine will play. I produce the music, always aiming for a 1960s sound.
Sorry if this feels a bit uptight, I am trying to put it to you in a way I think will be instructive but since this isn't a PT class I'll just chat. Yeah the music business breaks your heart sometimes, it really kicks the shit out of your soul. Dreams get kicked up the gutter.
But, what I like is that the music we make is in a sealed compartment, removed from all the bollocks of the music business. All the let downs, which can be incredibly upsetting and distressing if you want to be a rock & roll star (and know you could be) can't touch the music, which I find in this band is incredibly pure, aggressive, subtle, full of emotion and spirit.
