There will be more merch coming soon!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Shiny Diamonds show at 917 Main on Thursday! You are appreciated.

I’ll be in studio next week with Jainy, working on the new material for The Lion In Love. Very exciting!

No Internet

I moved. There is no internet yet. We finished mixing the Eek! single and the new single by That Scoundrel Julian Bowers. We got the finished art back for the new Shiny Diamonds single. Proper internet use to be restored asap.

Happy Birthday Us!

Yes, unbelievably we are a year old. Thanks so much to the 20,000 visitors we’ve had this year! I hope that many more people will be venturing into our modest little corner of the internet in 2010. It felt really good to renew the license on our domain name. I mean I know we’ve only put out a free comp so far, but there’s going to be a lot of stuff coming this year that we’re all really excited about. A Shiny Diamonds 7″, an Eek! 7″ and a 7″ by That Scoundrel Julian Bowers. And that’s just a start! Look for “Kingfisher Bluez presents… No Revival: Volume 2″ coming (much) later this year as well! If I don’t end up releasing all this stuff you can leave me mean comments… I’ll release just slightly more than I can feasibly afford.

So hip hip hooray! It’s our birthday!!!

Look at these sweet cakes!!!

Again, thank you. I’m very proud and I’m proud of all my friends. The KFB crew has been expanding in a very good way. Keep coming to this website and keep coming to our shows and I promise we won’t let you down!

And Don’t The Kids Just Loathe It… Presents Tim The Mute of The Shiny Diamonds

timthemute — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 22:27:29 +0000

Julian came over to my house and taped me playing a song from the new Shiny Diamonds album “A Histriony Of Violence”. The song is called “The Crawling Beetles and the Damage Done”.

In other news, our new webstore is just about ready, we have an cover artist confirmed for the new Shiny Diamonds single, as well as a special guest vocalist for a new song! We are also preparing the masters for the new 7″s by Eeek! and That Scoundrel Julian Bowers. Many more updates soon!!!

Belated Happy Chinese New Year! More Updates on life

timthemute — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 00:25:47 +0000

Here at Kingfisher Bluez, we have been getting ready for a busy 2010! We are preparing releasing for the likes of Eek! and The Scoundrel Julian Bowers. I couldn’t be more proud or stoked to get these out to you but it’s a very long arduous process to press vinyl. It makes me want to just burn cds and get it over with! In the end of course it will all be worth it (And a full selection of digital downloads await the ipod-inclined vinyl purchaser!). We have also been readying, unbelievably, some print projects! So maybe Kingfisher Bluez Publishing will be a reality this year. I would be very happy about that, although a recent survey has shown many of our fans are completely illiterate. I didn’t include a picture with this post so hopefully they will just skim over it.

Eek! Studio Update VI

timthemute — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 18:09:28 +0000

It’s ten in the morning and Spencer and myself are heading home after another long night tweaking the Eek! mixes. Everything sounds good and I think the mixes are all finished. Our tummies hurt a bit from eating a package of oreos and drinking a 1 litre energy drink but we are feeling quite chipper regardless. After being tired all night, it’s only when you are going to sleep of course that you get your second wind. Looking forward to releasing these songs, hopefully on vinyl, sometime later this year!

Take care,

-Tim

Eek Studio Update V

timthemute — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 13:19:12 +0000

Hello All Music Lovers and Lovers of Musicians,

Tim and I are here at FaderMaster Studios finishing up the Eeek! album. It’s 5 am and we’re slowly going over our work and checking it twice. This project is shaping up to be an amazing product of 21st century musical genius. I, by the way, am Spencer D Carson the Kingfisher Bluez resident engineer/producer. This is my first post here, so I guess I should make it a good one! Tonight we’ve mixed 3 songs and added wicked percussion to one, that will blow your multi-rhythmic part of your brain away. Well I better get back to help Tim with some gang vocal mixing! If you want to learn more about FaderMaster Studios here’s the link to the website: http://www.fadermaster.com

Peace

- Spencer

***Update***

9am and we’re off to go sleep. I officially hate guitars! Not really but one gave me “analysis paralysis” and Tim thought I died. So I’m going to sleep for a while and then off to go ice skating. Hopefully I can then listen to the songs and critique them after falling on my ass a billion times.

Eek! Studio Update IV

timthemute — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 16:48:16 +0000

It is closing in on 9am now, Spencer and myself are wrapping up at the studio after mixing all night. We are both unbelievably tired but very proud of our work! The songs sound fantastic and we can’t wait to unleash them upon the world. I am on the studio computer so I can’t post a picture or anything but you wouldn’t want to see us now anyways. Going home for naps good evening/morning to you!

Eek! Studio Update III- Julian Interviews Eek!

timthemute — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 07:28:17 +0000

Julian Bowers’ And Don’t The Kids Just Loathe It shines a spotlight on Eek! in the studio this week. Julian asks the boys of Eek! five questions. We’re done tracking now and I’m on my way to the studio to mix this sucker!

Eeek! Studio Update II:

timthemute — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 22:45:09 +0000

In the immortal words of Charles Dickens, “it was the best of times, it was the worst of time…” This can also be said about our recording here at Reise’s home studio. A catastrophic blizzard has forced us to barracade the doors and feast on the remains of the once Nameless Intern, now referred to as “Dinner”. Although it has been a struggle to maintain enough energy to play our insturments we muster the courage to press on, in hopes of one day emerging from our icy prison to live again. We often think fondly of the victims of the Dyatlov Pass Incident, coping with a winter alien invasion would not be far off from our experience here. In the muted distance of a coal-warmed basement I can hear Brady softly strumming a guitar accompanied by the dedicative shouts of Tim barking his artistic vision like a starving composer grasping for his opus. If anyone is reading this please send a team of sled dogs and a dozen kerosene lamps, its going to be a long night.
