This has turned out to be big week We have been listening to the tracks from our recording session and picking out the best tracks to be put on our demo CD. We have decided on two Tom Waits songs,an original written by Karl and a Muddy Waters classic. The tracks are Big Black Mariah, Heart Attack and Vine, Midnight Song, and Hoochie Coochie Man.
Today, I received an email confirming that King Biscuit Time Blues Band have been selected for the first heat of the Killing Floor Blues Challenge to be held at the Blackwood RSL on the 2nd of August 2009. So it is time to start rehearsing, rehearsing, rehearsing!

King Biscuit Time Blues Band - Killer Biscuits Have Arrived
Well, after a testing two month wait the final mixdown of King Biscuit Time Blues Band's "Killer Biscuits" has been completed. I have been listening to the 9 tracks and I must say that they are GREAT!
When you set out to do a demo recording you don't make so much fuss over fine tuning performance and you dont worry about the odd bum note. After all, our intention was to make a recording that would sound the same as when playing live on stage. Our intention is for venue owners and booking agents to get a good idea of what they will get when they sign up KBT for a gig.
We have succeeded in doing that. Perhaps, we may have to lift our game a bit as the production work that Steve and Sascha have done has us sounding very, very good. The songs are crisp and clean with real punch. They capture the band's feeling for the blues and the enjoyment that we get when we play. These 9 tracks reach a level of perfection that is close to professional EP standard. Much of the credit goes to Steve and Sascha for putting in the time to set us up in the studio to ensure a clean recording and for not compromising on their standards.
So now King Biscuit Time Blues Band are the lucky owners of 9 excellent tracks. Look out Adelaide: "Killer Biscuits" are coming for you delivered by King Biscuit Time Blues Band, purveyors of fine electric blues.
cheers for now
