Time Keeps on slipping...
Billy and the fid have the whole slew of songs
plucked and ready to boil... But alas, the fid is busy with doing
radio and gettin' hitched an' all, while billy spending time cleansing
his body and soul while burning his coffee on both ends.
Check back soon. We'll have a new podcast with
a rough version of one of our new songs... eventually.
"Terry's
Lodge" is now available
Click
here to see it at CD
baby.
And
have you heard "Should've been the caffeine"? What about
"4-Songs"? These earlier recordings show the diversity of
Billy and the Fid. Buy them, while you still
can!
New stuff at BillyandtheFid.com
Check out our Podcast above which is hosted by Garageband.com.
Also, I finally put together a photo album that navigates easily.
Check
it out here.
As always, we are in the process of arranging and recording out new
tunes. If you are a musician that plays something other than guitar
or bass, drop us an email at billyandthefid@yahoo.com and maybe you
can be heard on the next Billy and the Fid collection of songs.
Billy and the Fid on
GarageBand.com
Our latest upload, Early
Mourning, is Track of the Day in the "Modern Rock" category
for Sunday, Dec 3rd 2006.
We've just uploaded another tune from Terry's
Lodge to Garage Band.com where other bands and what-not review your
music... Its a pretty decent deal. Lots of checks and balances to
insure fairness in reviews and people taking advantage of their policies.
This is our 4th upload to Garageband. Billy's more edgy tunes tend
to fair less well due to the pop-based nature of garageband.
Happy
Holidays folks!
Oh the madness will continue with Billy and
the Fid as we head into our 4th year. So much has happened since we
started this little project... We've played at some crappy and great
places throughout the bay area including San Francisco, Alameda, Berkeley,
Oakland, Hayward and even Chico.... Anyway, we've been writing and
recording our brains out and we'll have some new music up here in
a few months including a new version of our infamous pot-pot pie with
some special guest musicians from the poontang wranglers... We also
have a salty new Sea Chanty called "Studio Sea" that will
be recorded soon. So keep checking back, be sure to visit our myspace
account to get updates on newly recorded and posted songs and any
up n' coming shows...
Billy and Chimient?
in a conversation with video artist/ photographer/poet
toney chimient of maui just a couple days ago, i began to fully
resign myself to this tool. we spoke of the value of media and its
role in publication, and long term effect of the ease of self-publication.
this, in its own way, solidified in my mind the death of the cd.
well, the fid and i don't play
out much. we have real lives and real jobs and the ratio of dedication
to quality performances is moderately askew. but we know that we write
damn fine songs and make damn fine recordings. so, 2+2= get billyandthefid.com,
continue to record music with one another, and whomever else we may
stumble across, and allow ourselves to continue to make what will
most assuredly be an interesting and eclectic aural backdrop.
you will be able to find many
songs here. some old favorites as well as all of our newest stuff.
we will also have some offshoots here, celebrating our experience
with the arts in some other forms. we hope you enjoy this site, and
that you may never have to hear us perform "why don't we do it
in the road" ever ever again.
November
2006 update
We're
now in the process of adding some new stuff to the site. We have the
new photos section which will have all sorts of random stuff plus
a few photos of
us creating our new demos. We're also putting more mp3s from our past
albums, Should've been the caffeine, 4 Songs, & Terry's Lodge.
