Piney Gir
July 3rd, 2007 by sparky
Once upon a time there was Piney Gir and she was asked to play a show at a working men’s club supporting some country-ish band that speak in fake American accents. She couldn’t work out why they’d ask an electronic-pop-jazz-chanteuse to play in such a place with such a band, and so she got her chums together to do country covers of her own songs just for fun. This went down such a treat that they played more and more shows, collecting friends and fans everywhere they went. So they ventured into the studio and recorded the old songs in a fresh country style, and made some new songs in an old fashioned way, and behold… the album "Hold Yer Horses" is out in the UK on Truck Records! How do you like them apples?
You can get the beautiful, limited edition, vinyl single "Great Divide" and "Trouble" on the brand new Sounds Experience label. Yee-haw!
You can get the limited edition CD single for "Great Divide" with artwork by Timothy T. Winchester and b-sides "Little Doggie" (live version) and The Age Of Reason Rearview Mirror Refit of "Great Divide" from Truck.
"I Don’t Know Why I Feel Like Cryin’ But I Do" will be out on vinyl in mid May as part of the Ten Tune Truck series, along with exclusive Piney version of "I’m A Train"
Piney is in the studio working on her next electronic album with the Age Of Reason. Piney and the A.O.R. have already been on Radio 1 and played shows in the UK and Europe. The album won’t be finished until next year though.
