<p>The recording of the new Mispent album is nearing completion - and everyone involved is excited by the step up in every aspect of the work, relative to "Climbing Frames" - early August for previews; September release!!
In the meantime Warrick will be filming a studio performance of "I've Got a Thing About You" for Sky's Performers TV in July - set to be broadcast in Jan 2011. He is very much looking forward to working with the "pre-approved dance group" :)</p>

<p>Happy new decade to you all....we celebrate with a new website, and have all the components in place to produce a new album (including budget) by the autumn :) New working title "Windows And Walls".....and no it's not a song about Microsoft's new operating system! Though I sense there maybe commercial potential in such a misconception...:) Anyway, do watch this space and keep the afternoon of Sun 7 March free for a very speshul live music event in central London....details to follow shortly.</p>

<p>For those of you in Blightly - gosh isn't England simply marvelous when the weather's like this!! You underestimate the power of that temperate sun at your peril .
I write to fill you in on substantial progress towards the production The Mispent's second album (working title "Somewhat Smitten"); all the songs are in place, studio at the ready, even some drums recorded (!): we just need a bit of dosh for the purposes of facilitation !! Well where there's a will there's a way - although any "fan" contributions to the cause are of course welcome.
Sneak previews of a selection of the new material exist in acoustic demo form on the "music" page - CHECK IT OUT and click on "Demos 2009". Stand out tracks are probably "Listen To Lilith" and "In My Shoes" - a full band "live" version of the latter will be up on You Tube by next week.
Lastly, bear Friday 24 July in mind as we have a gig at the Water Rats, King's Cross (on at 8pm) supporting a mystery, signed, quasi famous band - definitely our best date so far - please come along to that one if you possibly can. Details to follow closer to the time.</p>

<p>I bring you tidings of The Mispent's showcase date with
Music-News.com next Friday 12 September; to be held at the suitably named Ramshackle bar, close to Putney Bridge. Music-News is a very high profile web magazine and they are giving us a big plug with this event.....So come down for a night of wine and Rock n Roll!
We are delighted that on this occasion we will be joined on keys by the ever sartorially elegant Rob Berry! Rob is a very fine Singer/Songwriter in his own right and we are most privileged to have him. He can found at:

<p>OK, I accept, maybe the weather metaphor in the subject line is getting a bit stretched now that we're playing Storm, Leicester Square a third time ! However, it's a thunderously (!) fine venue; excellent sound, lighting, vibe, location etc and this time we may have our management company attending.... so come on down and help us whip up a whirlwind of sonic energy.

<p>We're very pleased to have signed a short rolling deal with SiBee Records - coming soon at http://www.sibeerecords.com ! The idea is to get "Climbing Frames" and other fine independent music airplay in public spaces - hotels, restaurants etc on the basis of an exclusive relationship with SiBee. This cuts out heavy generic royalty fees for Fat Cat publishers; which is better for less known musicians and clients alike.....we hope this is the beginning of a full contract !</p>

<p>Yuletide Felicitations !

....why not drop by The Comedy on Oxendon Street, London; just past the Comedy Store, for a spot of warm winter pub musings and music from The Mispent....
We are being professionally filmed and recorded for a forthcoming video and "Live" EP - so if there's any way you can make it - recruit cohorts and demand that they join you ! See Calendar for details.....</p>

<p>Ahoy There ! ...... And various other dubious marine vessel orientated exclamations ! But enough verbage.....
The Mispent will be boarding The Good Ship on Kilburn High Road in London, UK at approximately 9pm on Saturday 6 October. Do join us if you're in town and help us make merry as we sail metaphorically across the choppy waters of Indie Rock.
We'll be showcasing 2 new songs and it will be the last gig for awhile as recording beckons. See "Calender" for details...</p>

<p>After spending 2 weeks in the California sunshine we have established a second base in Hermosa Beach, LA ! A place so young at heart - middle aged professionals rollerblade topless along the seafront at the same time as pushing mom along in her wheelchair.....! Life, lest we forget is a great gift....!

<p>May you be in fine form - and if you're anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere, may Spring have sprung for you. Should you be in London, may you be taking advantage of the wonderful weather in this part of the world.....
And may I also invite you to the second installment of The Mispent at STORM, Leicester Square.....this FRIDAY 4 MAY 8pm. Amoungst all the sunshine we need to kick up a metaphorical maelstrom for the music industry moguls attending.....(!)
If you can't attend, or even if you can - we offer you a FREE DOWNLOAD of the new radio edit of "Sand" (for 1 week only). Small remixes and mastering have really made this track. Go to:
http://www.myspace.com/themispent
.....help yourself and pass it on....</p>

<p>Thank you very much to everyone who has recently signed up to the mailing list. We're getting lot's of visits too - 10,000 in the last 4 months - visits not hits, My God ! So if you signed up, and/or are returning to themispent.com - thank you.</p>

<p>So it is said that sin is the sun that warms the heart of Rock n
Roll.....so join us and indulge in a spot of vice and crafted bad
behaviour at Edwards, opposite Hammersmith tube station, tonight ! We'll be showcasing a new song or two.....</p>
The Mispenttag:themispent.com,2005:Post/61791732007-01-07T00:00:00+00:002021-06-11T18:39:57+01:00Happy New Year !
<p>Very best wishes for 2007 - may this be a fine year for you !
Can I take this opportunity to highlight the fact that we're on iTunes properly now; after the odd glitch or two ! We therefore really have to stop complete freebie listening at themispent.com. Please, if you can, show you support and acquire "Climbing Frames" once and for all... either in digital or physical form - by clicking on the "buy" icon to the left. The work may not be compromised by record label involvement, but then neither is it financed !
Keep on Rockin' in the free world !</p>
The Mispenttag:themispent.com,2005:Post/61791722006-12-11T00:00:00+00:002019-12-16T17:17:50+00:00Storm Gig This Wednesday...
<p>The Bleak Midwinter is upon us; though not it seems in the form of
frosty winds make moan, or "earth stood hard as iron"! Our warming climate grants us tornadoes, and north Atlantic gales....
It is perhaps apt therefore that The Mispent are navigating this maelstrom by headlining STORM in the heart of Leicester Square this
Wednesday 13 December.....Stage time 10:15pm. Come down for a shot or two of festive lightning. It's a very glamorous 350 capacity venue between the Odeon cinema and Capital Radio....and a big showcase with labels and A&R in the offing - so we need your SUPPORT....</p>

<p>We've gone for a warmer, more urban, night time, intimate feel for these pages - to coincide with the impending release of "Climbing Frames" (14th August.)
The sound is much more "Live" - so we've based the design around a recent filmed and photographed gig. Pics courtesey of Raedar Photography.
Try out the studio mix of "Sand" - a taster for the new record......</p>
