Hello folks,
We've been beavering away at a new album of covers, and by the time you read this it'll be live on our Bandcamp store. We've recorded a batch of videos - one for each of the nine songs on the album - and this is the first.
Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head is a near-perfect song that we've been performing at live shows for as long as we've been a duo... in fact it's actually the very first song we ever filmed a video for way back in 2014. Unfortunately, we were a bit rubbish in that one, so it never went out - and it's this kind of dedication to quality that has seen our youtube channel grow at about the same rate as a beetle crossing the Sahara.
We're delighted to present it now, though, and we hope you enjoy it. Eagle-eyed viewers will notice that Mat messed up the lyrics to the first verse... and total music nerds among you will also know that this was an homage the the same mistake made by Ben Folds Five when they performed their incredible cover of this song on Burt Bacharach's 'One Amazing Night' T.V. special back in 1998.
If you'd like to support our work, Bandcamp are waiving their revenue share all through February 5th (that's today if you're watching the premiere of this vid), which means we won't have to pay them a penny of the profits from sales between Midnight to Midnight PST (that's 8am to 8am GMT).
Thanks again and take care of yourselves everybody!!

    This one makes me cry, Good tears though. My mother and grandfather used to sing this with me as a child. Me on my little piano my grandpa on his Lowrey organ and my mother singing with us. I don't remember if we sounded as good as you two (nope. I am sure we didn't) but we laughed and spent time together. Probably have not thought of this song for 30 ish years. This reminds me of all those fun times and how much I miss them now. Never take family for granted, someday we all have to leave. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    Hello Mike! thank you so much man, we really appreciate you watching. Hmmm that's an interesting question and to be honest, we do half our gigs by feel and memory anyway, so I shouldn't think you'd have too much of an issue. It may perhaps take frationally longer to get started if it's your first looper, but I suspect you'll get to the point where you're able to perform with your head up faster than the average joe... so I guess our advice would be to go for it. We generally know when we're recording, overdubbing or playing back a track because we run the stuff over and over, so unless you;re literally improvising every performance in the moment, we can't see it being much of an issue. Hope that helps and thank you so much for stopping by! :)

Neither of us are religious in any way, although Mat's mum (mom?) is a preacher... or was until she retired recently.... so it's always been something we were aware of but couldn't really be a part of with a clear conscience.

    Yeah, that’s 10 years I wish I could get back. The worst group of people I have ever worked with. Not the musicians, mind you - but rather the promoters and pastors. Such a dishonest batch of humanity. Not all, but most unfortunately. Most of my former band mates and I have turned away from religion because of it.
