May 2008 It's probably about time to announce that the third Crooked Mouth album is in the making. Over the last couple of months Ken and Tony have started putting together demos and various plans for recording. Long time readers will know that it usually takes a good two - three years for one of these things to be made, so something to look forward to for about 2010! | |||||||
February 2008 Congratulations to Crooked Mouth photographer Kenny Mathieson who took 3rd place in the black & white section of Digital Camera's 'Photographer of the Year 2007' contest. Like the Kataklo images Kenny used for Hold in the Sun, this winning shot, titled 'Eyes on the Prize', was taken at the Edinburgh Festival. If you're in London at this time why not visit the Mall Galleries where you can see an exhibition of the winners and finalists? Well done, Mr Maths! | |||||||
January 2008 A belated 'Happy New Year' to you! Great start to '08 for the band with a fine review of 'Hold in the Sun' from Geoff Barton in February's edition of Classic Rock magazine. Head over to the Reviews page to find out what was said. Thanks Geoff! | |||||||
October 2007 Many thanks to Paul Baker over at Rock 247 for an excellent interview and airing 'Idiotsublime' and 'Iron Wonders'. Cheers Paul! | |||||||
September 2007 The new album from Crooked Mouth, titled 'Hold in the Sun', is available now. At this time you can get it only from this site - we'll be distributing thru CD Baby and other outlets in the coming weeks. For all you downloaders, distribution to those sites will
start in October.
If you want to hear some sample cuts head over to the Music page - they're all free! | |||||||
June 2007 Did we say April/May?? D'oh! What we meant to say was....AUGUST! Yes, we now expect to have the new album sometime in August '07. We're working hard at making it the best we can - hence the delay - so please don't judge us too harshly! As always, further updates here first. | |||||||
February 2007 After much work, head scratching and silence (sorry for that) from the Crooked Mouth camp,it's time to announce that the new album is almost done and we're working towards an April/May release date. What's it all about? Well, it's to be titled 'Hold In The Sun' and will feature 10 new songs, some new faces and new sounds. For this outing we aimed to take the musical & lyrical ideals from the first album, apply the lessons we learned from that outing and, well, progress. The new songs explore the question of finding inner strength in the face of adversity and were inspired by actual events. We've created something with more of an 'edge' to it...and we'll expect you to play it LOUD!!! If you've seen any our (irregular) news updates, you'll know that we've had some line-up changes since the last album. We've been very lucky to be joined by bassists Mike McCann (Wild Strawberry & countless others) and Leen (The Blessed Dudes). Cellist Mike Warren (Edinburgh Symphony Orchestra) also joined the clan and Ali Mitchell (flute on the debut album) took the keyboard chair. Each of these splendid folk have brought their own distinctive sounds and feel to the music. Of course, most of the usual suspects are still on board - Tony on the tubs, Kenny Haig on lead vocals (all the way Prague, via Mongolia!), Lynne & Eilidh on backing vocals and Ken's still flailing around the guitar. And, as if all that wasn't enough, the whole lot is being wrapped up in a vibrant and immediate production. This time out the artwork will be provided by award winning Scottish photographer, and all round good egg, Kenny Mathieson. And, if you're wondering, the wonderful people in the rather poetic photo (top right) are from Italian performance group,Kataklo. More news nearer the release date both here and at myspace.com/crookedmouthmusic. | |||||||
November 2006 Some of the Crooked Mouth crew took a break from the new album last month and played a gig as part of
rock & soul band Blue Jam. It was in support of a local charity for autistic adults and a splendid evening of good time music among friends was had by all.
We raised about £1000 on the night and had a damn good time into the bargain! Here's some snaps:
