All BUSY on the Western Front…

Further details are starting to emerge from the Carbon/Silicon camp regarding their activities and projects of the past few months.
Most of the band’s time has revolved around completion of the next album, “The Carbon Bubble”, and TJ’s latest blog posting – “Recorded in the Moment, as it happens?” – details the inspiration and motivation behind the recording of the album. The article is an insightful glimpse into the current creative philosophies of Mick & TJ, and contains a few teasers and previously-undisclosed track-title clues about the contents of the forthcoming record.

The forthcoming public exhibition of Mick’s collection – described as “an Aladdin’s cave of popular culture” – has been the hot project over the last few weeks, and has been getting lots of press attention from big-name publications. Mojo, Time Out, The Independent, The NME and The Daily Mirror have all featured articles on the collection, previously seen only by selected guests, press people, and a few lucky visitors to The Bunker. Items from The Rock and Roll Public Library finally go on public display this week, at Chelsea Space (details here). The exhibition runs from the 18th of March to the 18th of April. If you’re in London over the course of the next month, be sure to check it out!

TJ has been pretty busy with side-projects too. Just before Christmas he spent a month in Soho, London producing Fangoria – a Glam Dance band who are currently one of Spain’s biggest groups. The resulting album – “Absolutamente” was released last week, and went straight to number one in the Spanish charts … it’s a first for the band, who – needless to say – are delighted with the result!
Finally – as mentioned over on the blog – TJ recently took delivery of a Kodak Zi6 Hi-Def mini-camera. This gadget has been getting a LOT of use in the studio over recent weeks… expect to see video news broadcasts and insights appearing via this website very soon!
