Hi All.

"Demons Are..."

It all seems to have gone a little quiet at the moment in regards MC. The last big blast of action was to get all for the stuff for "Demons Are..." off to the Russian Record Label "Shadowplay" for manufacture.
To the best of my knowledge the album is now in production (finally) and I am awaiting a release date for the CD from the label. Be assured that as soon as I know I will tell EVERYONE

Live gigs for MC

OK, as some of you may know, we have hardly been touring to death over the last few years, and there is a reason for this. Appart from our non MC commitments being a consideration in regards gigs etc, I have been deeply considering the whole ethos of the "tour" and the small "Gig".

As far as I can see it the "times are a changing" in regards the way that people interact with and consume thier music. Without going into a massive accademic tract on the nature of music in society etc, it is suffice to say that what people want and need from music has changed,perhaps its due to the cheap or free availibility of music and or the massive increases in the depth and quality of music that has come about due to techological leaps in what people can do in a studio, and the cheap availability of music making equipment? Who knows?

But, the upshot is that in the Gothic scene at least, people expect a lot more from a gig, and infact are not really happy just to go to a gig, they would rather go to an event!
(Again we could get into a massive accademic discussion about exactly why this is so)

So, with all of this in mind I have decided that MC is not going to do the whole "Rock N Roll" flogging yourselves around the country playing everywhere you can etc. (been there, done that and got the t shirt to prove it). Rather we are going to take a different approach from now on.

To me, a performance is an "event" and needs to be treated with the consideration an "event" deserves, and from now on we will only play a selection of events and gigs in order to preserve this ethos.
In addition to this, we have already started and will continue to work with multi media formats in order to augment the work of the band.
Even as I type, I am brewing plans and ordering equipment for the next batch of MC performances in the pipeline in August and November.

OK, there is more to tell everyone soon concerning MC, but more shall be exposed in the next progress blog!

All the best.
