The Chip Shop Boys
UPDATE - The date for the Abbey Road recording session is now scheduled for March - blame StuChip for going on honeymoon in January. Selfish bugger! This means there is more time for you to choose which songs the boys perform. Let them know via Facebook, Twitter or email.
2nd November, 2011
We have today announced we will be recording our debut album at the world famous Abbey Road Studios in London. Recording is scheduled for January 2012.
We are asking Facebook and Twitter followers to pick their favourite songs from the past 15 years of gigs.
We will then choose the most popluar and record them at a live session at Abbey Road Studios in the new year. The recording will be made available to buy on iTunes as well as various other outlets.
Anyone who would like to suggest songs, please go to our Facebook or Twitter page before the end of the year, mention where you saw the boys play and pick your favourite song.
Abbey Road Studios is most famous for recording classic hits by The Beatles, and in more recent times, artists that have recorded there include Lady Gaga, Kylie Minogue, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stereophonics, Bryan Adams, Sting, Radiohead, Alanis Morissete and many more.
Stu
“This will be the defining moment of our careers as musicians and a massive achievment in our lives. The best bands in the world have recorded at Abbey Road and for us to be added to that long list is a total honour.”
Mark
“I’m very excited to be playing in such a legendary venue, and I’m hoping that some of the history the studio has will rub off on the songs we produce.”
Tommy
“This whole project is all about capturing a live performance of our most popular songs, which is why we’re asking our Facebook and Twitter followers to choose them. We’ve always been a live performance band but after 15 years of staying away from studio work, this is too good an opportunity to turn down.”
