There is good stuff afoot though! Every since I have been focusing all my writing efforts into Bushyhead, I have enjoyed being the singular songwriter for this venture. I have repeatedly said over the last 6 months...and 6 days...that if this music project succeeds or fails that it is on my head...my Bushy-head. :) With in mind, this is the decided cover artwork for "Bushybits" the new EP, slated for the updated release of August 30th.
Here is the back cover:
"Bushybits" is the Bushyhead debut and I am very excited to get this completed. It was a bit difficult deciding which songs to include for a number of reasons. Overall, I based my view of the songs selected that represent the celebration of a few snapshots of my journey and omitting some that I am anxious to forget and move on from.
The three chosen were written over the last 6 months and out of the 20+ songs I considered, these particular selections when played just acoustic with vocals stand strong. The reason why I volunteer that is because the full-length album is going to feature something different, but very familiar in approach.
I said all that to share this bit of news.
The followup to "Bushybits" tentatively called, "Trip-Wire Heart" will feature the music generated by a three-piece band consisting of myself on bass and vocals and two top-notch musicians, one person in particular who can play any style thrown his way but it not known for Acoustic Contemporary work. He is a human drum machine with a soul of fire and a hero in the thrash metal subculture. I am honored to have the opportunity to work with him. More details will be disclosed soon.
For "Trip-Wire Heart", expect to hear a little bit more like radio-friendly rock. Being a fan of bands like Hootie and the Blowfish and Alabama Shakes, I can see where Bushyhead listeners who like those two would love the new stuff I have worked on arrangements for this venture. Same destination but very different transportation! Again, more soon...
In closing, during the first week of July I will offer info on securing pre-orders of "Bushybits" as well as something no other musician or band has offered regarding involvement on the thank-you listing inside the CD cover.
Vince aka Bushyhead
