About Me

back before time Kings & Queens used to be the Indiana Experiment. Before that Rich was in The Pleased. Now see hear; its time for some new music. We just finished some recordings that may be recognised as an album of songs. If the music player above is working its heart out then you'll be hearing a little of that stuff right now. It is what it is - a layer cake of old vox and hammond organs, delayed guitars and some hot vocal harmony. You know, its music played by a group of people. For those with longer attention spans here's more info: some of this music was written up here in the northern California mountains, some down south in the desert and some back home in England. It was supposed to sound like one thing and then another thing and then it ended up sounding like its own thing. It was recorded in late 2005 by Dana Gumbiner at Brighton Sound studio and my very own Orderly Manor. I had the assistance of some amazing men and fascinating women and so now we are recruiting some of those peoples to be the band band; that is to say the public performance outfit. Stay tuned for more on that in the not too distant future. See some more recent songs here. And how about a short video with exclusive soundtrack by clicking this.
