My band Galaxia reforming in Manchester tomorrow (Wed, 6.30pm)
Steve Wallis
resurrect my band Galaxia, that first recorded songs in the run-up to
the 2005 G8 summit (that took place in Gleneagles, Scotland). I know a
female vocalist and a drummer, who will almost certainly attend, but
anybody else who agrees enough with my politics (revolutionary
socialism with a government elected by proportional representation) is
welcome to participate.
I have arranged a session in a recording studio (the Cutting Rooms,
Abraham Moss campus, City College, Manchester, nearest MetroLink
station Woodlands Road, see the map at
http://www.multimap.com/maps/?qs=abraham+moss&countryCode=GB),
starting at 6.30pm tomorrow evening (Wednesday 8th October) for up to
three hours. I decided to go for an evening to make it easy for those
who work during the day to attend; perhaps we will do an afternoon
session next time to make it easier for those who wish to travel from
elsewhere in Britain. Adam from the Cutting Rooms, who performed in
the original Galaxia tracks, is otherwise engaged on Wednesday
evening, but Johnny who also works there could fill in on guitar, bass
or keyboards if necessary.
I would like us to do recordings of my political songs "The World Is
Planned", "Things Can Only Get Bitter" and "Feed The World" (which
needs improving - the female vocalist I know is African and I'd like
her to help me with the lyrics). "Feed The World" is loosely based on
the Band Aid song "Do They Know It's Christmas" and it'd be great if
we could have several singers in the chorus!
I'd like us to do some love songs as well, particularly "I Wish Cath
Was A Folk Rocker (with flowers in her hair)" (updated to say that
revolution is once again in the air in 2008, which is certainly the
case with the current economic turmoil) and my latest composition
"Donovan's Doorway" - soon if not on Wednesday.
For free downloads and lyrics, visit http://www.socialiststeve.me.uk/poetry.htm
or http://www.galaxiamusic.net. You can also listen/download the songs
from the band's MySpace or Facebook pages, or listen to a selection of
songs and my unaccompanied musical poetry from my personal pages on
those social networking sites. See my signature below for details.
My Glasgow band Red Day (http://www.red-day.net), which performed
other songs including "9/11 Inside Job", may do further recordings in
the future when I visit Glasgow.
