Gold Digger

Stories from the making of the Gold Digger album ‘Get It Together’.

The final curtain call. Ah, what a shame we didn’t get to see him perform just one more time, never mind fifty. I hope the world will remember him for his music and nothing else. People are already pumping out naff jokes about his death…..
True, he led a bit of a chequered private life (it’s [...]

Did you know that we are BIG BIG fans of the late Bill Hicks? We love him so much that we got in contact with his family to ask permission to use some of his lines on one of our tracks called ‘We’re All One’. A legendary man – check out his classic clip on SMOKERS.
 

Fri, the 19th of December. Thanks to everyone who came along. We gave out loads of copies of the new album GET IT TOGETHER, and played our best performance yet
At 9pm the place was empty, which was a little worrying – but during the next hour the place filled up like a kettle waiting to [...]

So I’m currently in the middle of reading “U2 By U2″ and came across this passage where Bono finds all his old notebooks contaiing his lyrics from years ago and he’s scratching his head going “what the hell was I on about then?”. I can relate to that. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not really a big [...]

To celebrate the release of ‘Get it Together’, we’re holding the official Gold Digger album launch party at Babalou in Brixton on Friday 19th December and we’d like to invite you to come celebrate with us! It’s going to be a great night with a whole bunch of bands and DJ’s keeping the place rocking [...]

“A spinning, glitzy, neon, shabby-chic snapshot of the state of the nation, 2009.”
‘Get it Together’  -  an album 2 years in the making, first recorded back in October 2006 and finally completed in 2008. For many reasons ,it was a helluva mission which you can read about here.  Engineered by Steve Ellis and Jeff2Bad of Planck Music at The Premises. [...]

That’s right people, the Gold Digger album ‘Get It Together’ as finally gone off to be pressed after just over 2 years in the making! My God has it been one hell of a journey getting to this point. I’m almost keeling over with relief. Along the way we’ve had to deal with numerous near catastrophes [...]

Today I took the album over to the studio of the reputed Jon Astley from Close To The Edge for mastering. It feels amazing to have reached this final stage of the whole recording/mixing process at long last. At times along the way it’s felt like we’d never get here. And to have the album [...]

Crikey. It’s been one hell of a week for the Gold Digger crew with a curious mixture of tragedies and celebrations. First off, Steffi’s boyfriend’s house burnt down leaving nothing but a charred wreck. A discarded cigarette caught light to a pile of dead leaves which then set the garden shed ablaze and the whole lot went up [...]

Went over the the Moonhut on Friday to listen to the latest mix of the album. Results were brilliant. This can be a tense time for any band as each member begins to battle it out for their part in the spotlight. However, this time round there didn’t seem to be much to complain about [...]
