UPCOMING CD FROM JOHNNY J BLAIR

SNAPSHOTS is the next CD project by JJB. It is a collection of recordings from concerts, loft space rehearsals, studios and TV broadcasts in California, Michigan and Pennsylvania. JJB reports, "A lobby of listeners suggested a project of 'live music' and organic recordings where a passionate performance wasn't framed by a lot of 'production.' I love production, and that's an art unto itself. But some people would like the songs without a lot of dress-up."

On some of the live cuts, audio anomolies-like audience chats, espresso machines, etcetera-are left in to capture the feel of the event. He explains, "I could've waited for 'perfect,' but at some of these gigs the audiences were so 'on' I had to leave in the action." The non-concert recordings use few effects, instruments and overdubs. "I even whipped out the accordion Richard Chase gave me." he adds.

Much of SNAPSHOTS sums up his current live set, with energetic gospel chestnuts like "Nobody's Fault but Mine" and "Workin' on a Building" listed with acoustic versions of original songs from FIRE ("Throw the First Stone") and other albums ("Weirder Than Money"). Cover tunes include a funky, gospel-fied slide guitar take on Stephen Stills' "For What It's Worth" and Patti Smith's "Dancin' Barefoot." Offstage, he presents "Unresolved (Graham Greene's Script for Laurel & Hardy)," "Desert Ruby," "Like a Father to a Son" (recalling Beach Boys in their SMILEY SMILE/WILD HONEY minimalism) and a sweeping instrumental, "Steinbeck Found the Valley."

Release target for SNAPSHOTS is late November (special offer for advanced orders being issued by separate e-mail).

The Sepia are confirmed for an appearance at London's 'Club Noir' on 29th November 2002, in direct support to Seventh Harmonic (who incidentally co-appeared with The Sepia at the Eurorock Preselections in Antwerp this year). Also on the bill are the Excellent Deathboy, Ju-Ju Babies and All Living Fear. Should be a brilliant night out, with some premiere UK talent on the bill, it's unmissable. Flyers available very soon online.

Photos from the gigs in Yugoslavia and Budapest are now online in the live section of the 'see' pages. Go to www.the-sepia.co.uk

THE KLUBS (NO RELATION!)

Do you remember Birkenhead's psychedelic 60s band,The Klubs? In 1999, Record Collector Magazine ran a series of articles entitled The A to Z of British Psychedelia. They included a piece about The Klubs, placing the article alongside The Kinks and asking for more information about the band. A three page story about The Klubs untold glory days was published and we was contacted by a specialist Psych record label and a vinyl only album appeared in late 1999.

To our amazement, the LP was voted Album of the Year for 1999 in Record Collector, the Klubs being hailed as 'The greatest lost band of the 60s psychedelic era'.

After two years, the music is now available on CD. with an astonishing 20 page booklet containing the history of the band.
So if you are thinking of recording then it's never too late but let's hope you don't have to wait 30 years for a release as we did.
