Some new music
Here’s a new place where i’m storing ideas and sketches that won’t fit in to Kings & Queens, Whatever’s Next or the Psychedelic Furs box. I’ll be constantly adding things here. Hope you enjoy. Bandcamp or Facebook

Doing it, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. Tracking for Lonely in Love by Rachel and Love Blind by Micayla for a split Fannan Grace single. Day one: Drums, Bass, Guitar and Vocals. Not too shabby. Despite the lo-fi set up of Orderly Manor we have ears and it sounds amazing…

waiting, originally uploaded by Rich in Orderly Manor. The weather here is so different to the eastern edge of the state – delicious desert breeze!!! The 101 Club out in the west texas town of El Paso, is a cavern of reflective sound. Its like adding a few more delay pedals and a reverb tank ...
