Unlucky Fried Kitten..new song

YOUR NUMBERS ARE A LIE

ONE….….I HAD A GIRLFRIEND, SHE CAPTURED MY HEART
TWO…….THAT’S THE PIECES NOW IT’S FALLEN APART
THREE…..IT ALWAYS FELT LIKE THERE WERE THREE OF US
FOUR……I COULD GET BY WITHOUT THIS FOUR-FOUR FUSS
FIVE…….THAT WAS THE TEARS AGO WHEN I MET HER
SIX………HOW MANY TIMES I TOLD HER I’D MARRY HER
SEVEN…..TRIED TO KILL MYSELF SEVEN TIMES
EIGHT……EIGHT HOURS A DAY I WAS BY HER SIDE

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LIE?
GOODBYE…YOUR NUMBERS ARE A LIE

NINE……..OUR LOVE WAS LIKE A CAT IT HAD NINE LIVES
TEN……….BUT WE GOT STUNG BY TEN TOO MANY HIVES
ELEVEN.…IS THE QUANTITY THAT RUINS YOUR HEALTH
TWELVE….THAT IS THE DOZEN I DEVOURED MYSELF
THIRTEEN…..IT’S UNLUCKY LIKE THE KITTEN WE FRY
FOURTEEN…HOW MANY TIMES I TOLD HER THIS IS GOODBYE
FIFTEEN…….FIFTEEN MINUTES FOR OUR SHOT AT FAME
SIXTEEN…….SIXTEEN CANDLES CREATE A BIG FLAME

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LIE?
GOODBYE…YOUR NUMBERS ARE A LIE.

The Next Step

Justin and I have agreed that we'll drop I Am A Spider from the Unlucky Fried Kitten set for the Earls gig on 2nd October. We'll probably drop it from now on anyway. It served it's purpose for the Zebra Bar gig (a few people who were there knew it....and liked it....though maybe not the version we made of it there....lol.
So...we are looking for a replacement...and we have little time to find one.
How about Me and My Shadow...The Only Ones? We're not really doing covers...but I love singing that one. Underground Worker? Possible. I'll speak with Justin Strangeways about it.
Also...I am thinking that I'll play guitar as well. If I can add a bit of depth on guitar and then if we can throw Mark Gilbert in on keyboards then it could all be good. So...there are my thoughts for the day on Unlucky Fried Kitten

Justin Strangeways...addition to UFK

Unlucky Fried Kitten Latest

Justin Strangeways (guitar and vocals)
Andy Export (vocals)

Rio Fraser (programming)
Unlucky Fried Kitten had a practise today and would like to record the following notes:
The running order for the Zebra Bar gig on September 17th will be.

1. I Am A Spider
2. Shooting Star
3. Loserville.com
4. People
5. Scrap Metal
6. Baby Blue
7. Made In Russia

The first and last songs are set in stone for position. The order of the others is up for discussion, depending on Justin's preference.
Andy and Justin ran through the songs today at around 1.30 to 2.30. Mostly the sound is there. Just a few more practices.
Points of concern: (good or bad)
Baby Blue will need more attention because Andy's vocal was in disarray. He needs to find a structure for it and he has to decide if he's gonna sing high or low…or if he's gonna change it mid-song.
Shooting Star and Baby Blue definitely need to be slightly faster than the versions on the album. Being a duo, for this, dictates the pace….both for Andy's flow of voice and for Justin's velocity of rhythm.
Loserville needs to be faster. Making it faster will not make the set shorter…there are a multitude of extra verses which can be used if it seems like time is being killed with too much voracity.
Made In Russia. We are happy to announce the new arrival of an extra chord in Made In Russia. The chord, weighing about the weight of a downward stroke with a plectrum, will be called "F". When asked "Is it a downward stroke or an upward stroke?" Justin replied. "I don't mind….as long as it is healthy"
Props: So far we have the cut-out characters for People. Brains are sub-consciously considering props for other songs. (even whilst we are sleeping)
Next time we meet we will run through the set from start to finish…or Take It From The Top…as they say in the music biz…and we will treat it as if it is our gig. This means we do not stop to dissect any small error (we craft our way out of the situation) It also enables us to time our set…which will show us if we will be short or if we will over-run. (allowing for on-stage banter and ducking from flying ash-trays. Rio will record our run-through…but not necessarily the next one…perhaps the one after that.
I Am A Spider is played in G Em C D. It doesn't stretch Andy's voice too much and it gives more scope for backing vocals.
That's about it then.
Rehearsal left Andy in high spirits and the gig…Unlucky Fried Kitten at the Zebra Bar on September 17th will be much anticipated.
Also on the bill for the gig:
Monday Street
Cellar 170
Shoot The Moone
Addition....Justin Strangeways is probably taking over the lead vocal on Baby Blue for this gig.
