hows about singing a song

About Me

click here for background on the songs, they're the early posts on the blog
Patchie (one of its many ever-bloody-changing names) is a band essentially composed of the 19 year old, Jacob Mirzaian (that's me by name), and added to when friends and musicians are welcomed onto different tracks. Patchie is currently residing in my bedroom and is made audible on lo-fi recordings and at unplanned public appearances. Strings of appearances and a formal recordings are always planned, but what's more the pattern of things is this slow accumulation of material, and gigging when I can. Until major releases, content will be put on the internet to satisfy any embryonic fans (thank you) which could arise from exposure here, at gigs and from subsequent word of mouth.
Thanks for visiting! and check out the tracks if you will, i treasure any feedback i get!

My two most recent recordings: Nothing But Frankie Blues (MP3) " and " Broken Guitar (MP3) . They're both largely improvised with major influences from Southern Spirituals and Blues.
Note to self: Flog these...
These are cds. They've got five tracks each, there are twenty of them in the world at the moment, each one is completely unique and hand printed by me. They are numbered, and there is an account of how each track found itself on the individual cd. You can buy them from me personally or email me to make an order. They're 5 pounds each.
Track one is: Nothing But Frankie Blues
Track two is: Broken Guitar
Track three is: Crumpets in the Morning
Track four is: The Chant of a Lonely March
Track five is: I am Fantastic
