Happy Christmas!

As another year draws to a close, we’d like to wish all of Carbon/Silicon’s supporters a happy holiday season, and wish you the very best for 2010!
It’s been a year with many ups and downs in the C/S bunker. Early 2009 saw the carbs recording an album full of new material, filming with Howard Marks, playing to a huge audience at the Pavilhão Atlântico Lisbon Calling festival, and Mick’s Rock ‘n Roll Public Library opening its doors to public viewing for the very first time.

Unfortunately, alongside the highs, 2009 brought a number of lows. As you’ll gather from reading TJs blog, the band’s aspirations and creative ideals were – at times – conflicting with those of their management team. This resulted in a difficult gestation period for Carbon/Silicon’s fifth album – The Carbon Bubble – and a quiet summer for the carbs.

By the end of the year, the way forward was clear – Mick and Tony decided to return to the founding principles of Carbon/Silicon, and The Carbon Bubble was released as a free download. The band are heading into 2010 with a newly-energised, independent outlook. Tour dates are being booked, new CDs and merchandise are being planned… 2010 should be a great year!
2009 was also the year that TJ fell in love with his Zi6 camera, and discovered he had a flair for iMovie editing, so you can expect lots more “video diary” updates from the band in the future. Speaking of which…

Peace and Love! 😉  … see you on tour in 2010!
