NEW MUSIC! Delighted to say Many Men Soundsystem’s second recording “Seabird” is out now on Rita Records. Head to your local Our Price or Woolworths now to pick up your CD. Alternatively stream it on Spotify or Apple etc.

Produced and Mixed by Ben Jackson (@mrbjjackson)
Recorded by Brendan at @cornish_underground_

Seabird is a song from The Alessi Brothers released in 1976 . I guess it’s about a simple small town guy’s on off relationship with a free spirited girl who likes to travel.

I discovered this song via my friend James playing me the cover by The Innovations (also from 70s). A lot of our harmonies come from that version. Both recordings are special and have a cool yet melancholy vibe (one of my favourite vibes).

This one of those songs that didn’t even chart in its day but has stood the test of time and is being discovered by new people thanks to popping up Spotify playlists and discover feeds purely by virtue of being a great tune.

Anyway, hope you like the tune. Looking forward to singing it tonight at @bedruthansteps @stacks_bythesea

The video will be released soon. I think you’re going to like it…

Chrrrs!

We're still feeling blessed after Saturday night's show at @stagnesmmi . Thanks to everyone who came down to our first headline show and to celebrate Many Men Soundsystem's first birthday! 🎈

Pumped to get out there next year.

Here's some clips from the night. Our versions of "The Night" by Frankie Valli, "Chop Suey" by System of a Down and "My Girls" by Animal Collective.

Massive thanks to @elizashaddad for joining us to sing "Tilted" at the end!

Delighted to say that @tokillaking 's 4th and final album is out today.

It's a varied and poignant record. Some of Ralph's best choruses I reckon. Check out Song For My Sisters or Fear Of Failure for some guitar bops, or On The Road, Reincarnation or Spiralling (feat Dan :) ) for some country tinged americana. Or London In Springtime for some folky lushness.

I had a great time working on this with @rpelleymounter . On every song we clashed furiously over whether I could put a fade out at the end but we always made up with a long snog. And I managed to get two fade outs in there 💪🏻

It's been an amazing ride with TKAK over the last 100 years. One that I'm grateful for often. Massive love to everyone who's come to see us, streamed our stuff or worn our t-shirts. And of course to Ralph, Grant, Taffel, James, Josh, Ian, Jon and Pete. And Kat, Olivia, Boswell, Dan, Debbie, Alice, Coops, Pat, Siobhan, Nick, Jim, Murphy, Gethin, our families. God so many people! Sorry if I've missed you out.

So much love.

All things fade away. 😙😙
