Basement Birds

Now, much has been happening on Planet BB of late.

Basement Josh gave the "hard facts" a pretty thorough rundown in his last blog.

I, however, am going to focus on some worrying trends in the Basement Birds camp of late.  Specifically, Basement Kev's love of musical theatre, especially Cats.  In no less than THREE separate interviews, Basement Kev has managed to shift the conversation around to his free-form, interpretive dance medley of the hit showtunes from that ubiquitous Andrew Lloyd Webber mega-musical.  It really is quite disturbing just how much of "Mr McCavity and friends" KM seems to know off-by-heart.  Seriously, watch this!

Almost as disturbing is Basement Kav's sudden need to break out into booty-busting disco moves at the drop of a hat, on SEVERAL national TV promotional opportunities!  Aren't these guys professional, platinum selling frontmen???  What are they playing at, I ask you good people of Australia?

Now, I can't speak for Basement Josh, but Basement Steve here thought the Basement Birds was a serious, emotive and heart-string-pulling album we'd made, directed toward sensitive, music loving connoisseurs of the lyrical and compositional form and YET! these two ARIA-hogging reprobates seem to be having the time of their all-dancin', all-singin' lives!!!  I'm appalled!!!  If Basement Josh starts freestyle-rapping, or yodelling, or performing a striptease routine at the next junket, I'm off I tellsya!!!

I'm Basement Steve.  This has been today's rant.

PS Basement Birds: The Album is OUT FINALLY!!!  July 16th!  Hope y'all like it!

Make sure you get your tickets to the tour soon, too, cuz its actually selling out quite quickly!

Peas out

  I'd like to see Basement Josh yodelling/rapping. Give you 5 bucks to see him do it?

  I have to say, if JP does start rapping then you are in for a treat!

  Steve, let them have their fun. Still, I now you are most of the brains behind this superb music! Just have a system where their % of royalties falls the more they are idiots!!
  
  Looking forward to the record very much so. Not a fan of itunes so I have been hanging out!
