Description:

2007: I've been unable to start recording my album until today (12 February), as I've been entertaining a house guest, but I've scribbled a lot of lyrics and I intend to lay down ten songs with some sampled beats and backing tracks, but also with lots of twangy guitars and psychobilly vocals. Of course, once I start recording, this may all change completely! I'm just waiting to finish the day at work so I can get home and make a start.

2008: This year I can hopefully get cracking on Feb 1. I still aim to have lots of twangy Telecaster in there, but also some slide acoustic guitar and quite possibly some rapping.

Group Members:

John Waring: guitars, keyboards, vocals, mandolin, harmonica.

Band Bio: Chandler is just me, John Waring. I've played in a few bands down the years, and currently I'm in The Gresham Flyers. One thing I love about this challenge is that I can do precisely what I want with the songs, without any compromises; but the main thing I love it that it simply forces me to write, and some of the stuff I come up with has really thrilled me :O)
Band Members & Instruments Played: John Waring: Vocals, percussion, Fender Telecaster, 1960s Valencia acoustic guitar, 1940s Chromonica, keyboards, mandolin
Band Location (city, state or province, and country): London, England
