Opium Toad - News Archives

We recently had a short amount of time in a small studio, just enough time to get something of a demo for our newest song, War (which is another working title, this is how we roll).
It's up now on our myspace so go and take a look.

In other news, I leave in under 2 weeks, eek...

What the Funk pops onto the interwebs

What the funk (used to test the in page player below) has now been finalised and properly recorded. It is currently up for listenin' on the myspace. We're gonna try and lay down a slightly better version today with vocals (not that there is much of anything in the way of lyrics) and hopefully slightly improved quality.

We're also planning a video for that very song, should be pretty fun stuff.

New song version on myspace

We have now got a new version of Sad Song (now named Over My Shoulder, because it has lyrics) on the myspace. It's still not a perfect version but we're unlikely to get that without a good few days in a studio, something we're unlikely to get for a while without one of us winning some money. I'm still relieved to get rid of the previous one and its a nice step up all the same.

Expect more recordings soon, possibly not of our songs, we may get some covers up just because we can (and also because none of our other songs are quite finished).

Lack of news

I've just finished doing some slight renovation to update the links at the top, as you can see it now has a link to the myspace and to the forum. Hopefully nothing new will come along too soon that would require another update.

In other news, we would have some recordings up of our only finished song but our main man Tubb has been called away for uhh...marital duties...for the weekend leaving us unable to finish the recording. Needless to say, it's a bedroom recording so it's not going to be very good but we'd like to get a better flavour of what we've done with the song since the last version that is up on the myspace page.

Once we're up and running a bit with some more equipment (and the exams are over) we can maybe churn out song songy goodness...

Opium Toad Forums Online!

Woo yeah, forums, where we can talks about stuffs!
Check them out right here

I will of course put up a permanent link to it once I've reshuffled the buttons to make room for it.

Funk You sampler

I thought I would test out this here in page flash player through use of a little song sample.
We recorded this last night with no amps, just all plugged into a micro mixer and then into the computer and had no percussion so bear that in mind when listening =P It is in no way a real attempt at a song recording, it was just to test the new micro mixer.

Website online, clearly...

So yeah, this is the Opium Toad website in it's current form. Nothing too fancy at the moment but I just wanted to get something up because having a blank home page isn't very cool.
If you hadn't already realized, I am the one in charge of the website so most of the stuff written here will be from my point of view but that could change. I will of course make it possible for any band members to post news but as it happens I will probably be the only one who actually does.
Anywho, enjoy the site.
