Vegan Holiday & New Tracks
Tomorrow Rocksey was off to his Spanish retreat for 6 weeks, Claiming after the last festival performances he needed time to reflect. Since sharing the stage with the likes of Rob Zombie, Rocksey had now allowed me to try a Vegan lifestyle on him, I had been living a pescaterian life for some years now, but trying to get Rocksey to give up meat had always been a resounding No from him
Now Rocksey was going out with Marsh and Penguino was joining a few days later. This was supposedly to sort the track listing for the next album and to write the last 3 songs. Now Marsh is your typical English (GIRAS) tourist, he wants the same food, Beer and even takes his own. Breakfast cereals and tea bags away with him. How he was going to manage this I had no idea as Rocksey had stated Hand luggage only. Marsh also thought it was going to be a lads booze holiday, Rocksey was set for a working holiday and recording the new tracks .
Penguino and Rocksey set about the new songs with a vengeance while Marsh relaxed by the bar.Rocksey and Penguino worked through the night and in the early hours the shout of Yes that's it we've captured the sound and the atmosphere we needed. Penguino and Rocksey retired to the bar where they found Marsh slumped over a chair. Rocksey immediately shouted at Marsh "Get your act together your in the studios next".. To which Marsh responded in a burbled voice I'll have a Beer. "You'll have nothing " rocksey responded your in the studio now.
Rocksey marched off to the studio with Marsh in tow. Senor Penguino reclined in the chair behind Rocksey and whispered " I told you it was a bad idea to include Marsh". Rocksey responded lets give tonight a go, But if tonight doesn't work we'll discuss it more.
All Marsh had to do was put a percussion track down on three tracks but long into the night and after many takes on the first track Marsh still couldnt keep rhythem or time Penguino had stormed out shouting "Call me when he's gone I told you it was a Bad idea" Rocksey kept on trying to preserver with Marsh but it was getting harder and harder to tolerate his bad timing and poor rhythem and NO Musical talent at all. Eventually Rocksey switched the desk and the lights off turned his back on the studio and decided to join Penguino at the local bar and leave Marsh stood in the studio with his tambourine and no rhythem or talent in the studio.
When Rocksey arrived at the bar Penguino said "well what have you done" the reply was swift and curt "he's got no talent no timing and he cant drink he's out" Penguino and Rocksey clinked glasses and toasted the new tracks without percussion . We'll put the percussion on tomorrow when Marsh is out of the way. At least it will be in time Penguino said.
