rock 'n' roll

[johnhoo]

me again - alter ego this time.

CD available now for the princely sum of £3.00 inc p&p.
3 songs: I Will Stand, Expire, Numb. Highline will remain a "listen only" bonus track on myspace

contact@wickeffect.co.uk & I'll figure out how to exchange beer tokens for new single

[johnhoo]

I Will Stand, Expire & Numb are now available to play, or to download for the eminently sensible price of 79p each, from http://www.amazingtunes.com. Simply type "The Wick Effect" into the search box and press "search"

New artwork to go with it too:

FINALLY!

in the meantime, please listen to and vote for us at http://www.amazingtunes.com/users/thewickeffect.

It would be even better if you chose to buy a download for 79p a song

ayup john/shaun
the tracks remind me a little bit of House of Love (which is a compliment)

all being well i'll be there for the gig

see ya soon
stAn

[JohnH]

funny you should mention The House Of Love - we did think about doing a cover of one of their songs - Shine On. But Steve the bass player doesn't like that song. All their others, yes, but not that one

oh well

[JohnH]

and whats more I might be able to get you some gigs - seriously !

could you? Wakefield/Leeds area from March onwards. We have two dates already pencilled in, 26th February (Leeds) and 5th March (Bradford) so dates in Wakey around that time might almost make up a mini-tour

BTW stAn, I notice you'd logged onto AmazingTunes.com - was it you wot bought the songs? Cheers, much appreciated

[JohnH]

a quick plug for mine & Shaun's band on t'wireless if I may be so rude

listen to AmazingRadio on DAB radio and t'internet from 7pm Monday night & 7pm Tuesday night (ok, that's if you're not on a Pootle), "I Will Stand" will be played about 6-7 songs in from the start of both shows
