About Me

OUT NOW! DEBUT SINGLE "WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?"/"MIND" on PRONOIA RECORDS (via CARGO DISTRIBUTION)...DEBUT ALBUM "THE CATHODE RAY" due late 2007 on MARINA RECORDS... The Cathode Ray is an exciting blend of the songwriting and musical talents of lauded ex Josef K frontman, Paul Haig and singer/guitarist, Jeremy Thoms, combined with the accomplished rhythm section of former tv21/Bluebells bass guitarist, Neil Baldwin and drummer/percussionist, David Mack.Following the creation of their songwriting tryst in late 2004, the songs resulting from the Haig/Thoms combination represent a refreshing approach to modern guitar-based indie rock. While having its own unique sound, The Cathode Ray songbook also shows the influence of groundbreaking acts such as the Velvets, Stooges, Buzzcocks, Wire, Talking Heads and Television - bands that informed both Haig and Thoms' early work.After a series of self-produced recording sessions, The Cathode Ray released their double 'A' sided debut single titled "Whats It All About?"/"Mind" late 2006 on London-based Pronoia Records, with the first album to follow late 2007 on Marina Records, when The Cathode Ray will also launch a live web-cast. They are also lined up to record some radio sessions to coincide with the album's release. Watch this Space!
