Lost & Found ! THE POOL SHARKS' CD |
|
|
By Admin on
Friday, March 26, 2010
|
|
|
|
About 22 years ago (after the Tigers), Nic Potter did some recording with the same line-up as the Tigers (but with a different Drummer), it was to be called 'The Pool Sharks'. It was never released and the tapes somehow got lost.
Tony Jackson (member of the Tigers) recently found the tapes. They had to be baked in an oven for 70 hours and, fortunately, it did work and the 'lost' album sounds great, very optimistic and
fresh (like Spring!) with some great songs and playing.
'The Pool
Sharks' cd is quite different to the 'Tigers'. Nic plays on all the
tracks, and will be available some copies for sale.

Something about the "new" THE BLUE ZONE PARTY - LIVE AT THE DOME 1991... |
|
|
By Admin on
Thursday, October 22, 2009
|
|
|
' The Blue Zone Party Live' was really a one-off musical party event. Having done very little rehearsing we just went for it (despite the complex nature of some of the music). There was a special atmosphere at The Dome that night and everyne had a great time. Over the years many people have written in asking if, and when, a CD of 'The Blue Zone Party Live' might be released. Well, finally here it is ! The music took on a life of its own with many special and unplanned moments (sometimes totally anarchic, sometimes powerful, sometimes beautiful, and lots of unherearsed jamming). Hope you like it. |

* NEWS from NIC *
Greetings! I am pleased to announce the release of the 'Zom-Art
series' of my entire back catalogue (Zomart, distributed and marketed
by Voiceprint.)
All ten cd's have been re-mastered with greatly improved artwork (all
the cd's feature
parts of my paintings).
There are also new bonus tracks on 5 of the cd's, and one new cd 'The
Blue Zone Party Live At The Dome (London 29/05/1991 featuring Guy
Evans, David Jackson, Huw LLoyd Langton and myself.)
I have been closely involved with this series (including re-mastering,
artwork etc.) for quite some time - its been a very big project!
There are several unique features of the series, for example when the
spines of all ten cd's are placed in the right order they form a
painting of mine.
Supplies are fairly limited at the moment, so early ordering is
strongly recommended!
The *BOX SET* (title : All Contained) will be released end of
October (Limited Edition of 100), I will have a few copies available. It
includes a DVD interview with myself and some random photos of some of
my paintings.
Meanwhile my new cd (In a secret garden) is nearly finished...
1. Sketches In Sound (first
time available as a cd)
2. The Long Hello Volume Two
3. The Blue Zone Party Live At The
Dome (new cd)

There is now a TIGERS official website, organised by Tony Jackson (the singer and main writer) to celebrate 30th anniversary of the album "Savage Music" (1980). On this album Nic Potter, like member, plays bass guitar on a...kind of music totally different (opposite...) than VDGG and solo album. On this official site it is also possible to download the song Savage Music (VBR) and order online the CD (re-mastered edition). This is the link (with many pictures of the band inside): www.thetigers.info.
