Day two came and went, but there were some strange goings on in the studio. It's taken us a day to collate the evidence, but some of rhesus are convinced that there's a monster at Parlour Sound studios. Personally? I think it's all ridiculous - but Ben is convinced.

Day one has come to an end and thanks to Kie's diligence, we have the drums recorded and finalised for 4 songs thus far. We started the day strangely enough by all waking up half an hour before the alarm was due to go off. Rich went out for a run and found a nice path around the studio's complex. Apparently we're going for a "band run” tomorrow morning. Well, Ben and I said we would join him. We'll see about Kieran. To be fair if he's got to record all day again, we won't complain too much if he doesn't. This is our third year running being back at Parlour Studios with Neil, and as always, he's been brilliant. He's already helped us reshape a chunk of one of our songs, and we really like it. After the recording finished, and Neil left for the day, we went on a little adventure ...

So we're back in Parlour Sound studios, but this time, to record an entire album, not a demo. We've got 20 days down here to make the best record we possibly can. After arriving at 10pm, I produced my mystery item - a magical (like the iPad!) bed. (It's already a revolution!) Straight after that I did what needed doing most - I got NBA Jam Tournament Edition working - slammed some USB control pads into an xp machine rocking out mame emulator and jobs a good un. That's all for tonight, I'm absolutely shattered - but fear not, I'll be posting some (actually) interesting things soon. Maybe tomorrow. Who knows?

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. Rhesus have been featured in a book! Margot Early, who has sold over 3 million books, listened to our EP Narcolepsy Baby, and it became the unofficial soundtrack to her latest book, Love Potion #2. We'd like to thank Margot for featuring us and mentioning us in the acknowledgments, we're very happy that you enjoyed our music! Any fans of rhesus who'd like to buy the book (Kieran is already half way through and says it's a great read) can do so by clicking here - Love Potion #2 - amazon.

Wow! What a morning! I got woken up at 4am by my drummer calling me ranting that we'd made it. I (of course) ignored him, put the phone down and went back to sleep. Woke up this morning and it all became clear. We're the next financed artist on Slicethepie, and honestly this could be huge. We have such an amazing album in us it's unreal - and now we have the platform (and £15,000) to create it. The difficulty will be the promotion and getting heard - but (without blowing my own trumpet) we believe we have THE most radio friendly sound and songs around, and honestly - with the rhesus army behind us, we can do anything! It took us 126 days to raise £15,000, a little over 4 months, and the support we've had has truly been amazing, here's the graph of our success: (Taken from the 22nd of Nov ...
