So I thought I'd let you all know that regardless of whether I win The Red Bull Sound Vault Competition or not (still please vote here) it is my plan to get my latest song "Should've Said No" professionally recorded. I also want to make an accompanying music video for when I release it as a single. I've been trying to decide the best way to move forward with this. First off I will beg my brother to record the demo as it would take him probably half a day at the most to sort it (pro) where I would spend a week just trying to make everything works properly (amateur hour). I need to make a basic demo (acoustic guitar & vocals) as a starting point to show other musicians I want to work on the song with me. Then I need to put in a whole lot of effort into a fuller demo (drums, bass, electric guitar, cow bell, harmonies) and then send it away to see if we can get some NZ on Air funding to make the single & music video. This is the first time that I'm not attempting to make an entire album in one go. It's kind of strange! I will need to decide where to record & who to record with. Of course I'd love to work with Greg Haver & Clint Murphy again but I don't think I can raise the funds to travel all the way to the UK again. hmmm. I was thinking that if (for some reason) NZ On Air don't see the potential in this song I would start a fundraising campaign for it. Good idea??? If you've got an opinion on the matter - which I'm sure you have if you've read to this point - please drop me a line. Cheers Katie Here's the song "Should've Said No" that I'd like to get recorded!

So first off I had a blast on tour with Fleur Jack! We raced around the South Island and met some great people. We had soo much fun we're talking about doing it all again in Summer! Click HERE if you'd like to check out more pics.
Happy Easter or whatever it is you're meant to say today! I personally have been in the garden, playing my guitar, chucking out old clothes that live in the bottom of my dresser draws because I don't like/wear them and I have eaten one whole chocolate egg and I plan on attacking another one before the day is through. Completely eventful day today! You??
So remember my post a month ago??? About wanting my Dad to give up smoking. Well fingers crossed - he's been smoke free for 1 month on Tuesday 10th April. I don't know what done it - I still don't know if he read the blog (fairly certain he did) but who cares what it was that finally made him decide enough is enough - it's freakn AMAZING! For those of you who don't know I work with my parents and every morning I use to walk in the door and my hayfever would start up straight away because of the smoke. Now though I haven't even had to take any pills so that's a big plus for me. Plus side for Dad is he's looking healthier and smelling better (aka not like a dirty smokey unloved person). He won't talk much about it but he does seem happier too - I am so proud of him. It can't be easy giving up something you've done for around 30 years of your life. Thank you to everyone who left their comments publicly or privately. It was supportive and sad in some cases to see what you have been through either yourself or with a family member. Music wise . . . I'm just getting songs sorted for the South Island tour that is coming around super fast. Even considering buying a pretty little light to make me blue (or red) while singing - I think I will! Hmmm ok better go hunt down that bunny and make him hand over the egg! KT x Well ladies and gents you read right - Fleur Jack and I are doing a flying visit around the South Island this April. We've talked about it for quite sometime and I'm stoked to announce it's going to happen. Fleur Jack has played music in Australia, Hong Kong, all over New Zealand and most recently navigated solo for five weeks of shows across Canada and all down Americas wild west. In 2010, she became the 51st artist in the world to successfully raise to target on the website funding platform 'Sellaband', which she went on to fund the recording of her debut solo album. Her alt/country & rock/pop styles of "Ghosts of Cimarron" has recently been released this year. If you don't know who I am by now head to the bio!! But seriously - I will be performing a mixture of songs from my debut album "Tall Poppy", "Impossible" and also some favourite covers of mine. I've even gone the extra mile and managed to get some more of the old "Tall Poppy" albums done up just in case someone wants a copy! We're heading to Christchurch, Dunedin, Te Anau, Fox Glacier & Runanga WMC. 
The official music video for Cruel to be Kind is out now! Thanks to Andrew Dean, Sade Jones, Nathan Moore, Katie O'Brien (Little Sister Films), Logan McMillan (Gorrila Pictures), & NZ On Air for funded through Making Tracks. Please share the music video via email, facebook and which ever other way you know how! |
