EVE OF DESTRUCTION
I'm giving you all a quick update from The Village Studios in Los Angeles, while the studio engineers burn the final mix of the track we've been working on. The song is an old 60's hit called Eve Of Destruction. My good friend, Michael Des Barres had been talking to Jeff Greenberg, who owns The Village, and they called me up a couple of weeks ago and asked me if I would be interested in collaberating on a reworking of the song, with all the proceeds going to help the troops overseas. I of course said yes, and we called in the powerhouse rythym section from The Panic Channel, Steven Perkins and Chris Chaney. We tracked the song last week, and I have been in the studio all day mixing. It sounds fantastic - I'll let you guys know how it will be released once we have the details worked out. Produced by myself and Michael, I handled all the guitars and a few backing vocals, Steven and Chris did the duties on drums and bass, and Mr Des Barres rocked out the lead vocal.
Keep your eyes peeled here for more news on the track.
Peace
Billy

I am so gutted, I've had and 800x600 Starbucks logo in my Doheny art attack folder for over 2 months now awaiting photoshop. I've just been too busy with Pitchshifter stuff, damn you Clayden. Well done Karen, I hope you haven't read my mind about all my other ideas [I keep some weird thoughts in there].
Incidentally Robbie Williams is the voice of Dougal in the new Magic Roundabout CGI-fest, what's that all about Billy? How'd he wangle that?
