On the dawn of the new year people who had made it to the Community Gardens basement were about to be treated to the annual NYE set from the mighty Finger Pressure. The inner archivist in me knew this had to be documented but I wasn't about to set up a full rig in the middle of party central. In a moment of spot clarity and snap ingenuity it came to me; "the D50 has internal mics and they don't suck." I sprinted the stairs making my way to Sean's room where he was kind enough to stow my gear. I made it back downstairs just in the nick of time to capture the first notes of Finger Pressure 2010. If you're a lawyer for an aforementioned artist please leave the ladies out of it and contact me at the above mentioned email address. Happy New Year.

Please note: This was made with the D50's internal mics but it sounds damn good nonetheless.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

May 2010 be better than 2009!

Live musics to follow from the likes of; The Good Life (holy shit?!), Old Canes, Where Astronauts Go to Hide, Face Candy, No Bird Sing, Kristoff Krane, Puppy Dogs & Ice Cream.

What I'm perhaps most excited about at the moment is NYE. Pretty sure I chose The Turf Club. Third Annual New Year's Eve Cover Night with Vampire Hands (Television), Leisure Birds (Monks), Daughters of the Sun (Jesus and Mary Chain), Marijuana Deathsquads (Brian Eno). Unfortunately Secret Language (Fleetwood Mac) was not recorded...it was however very Punk and uplifting. You missed out? It happens. Later on, at the dawn of the new year Finger Pressure's annual NYE set at Community Gardens was recorded into a little metal box. Let me just say that these 1s & 0s are far to good for the likes of MTV or top 40 radio. Be excited to check this out!
