MY NEW BAND BELIEVE

The idea for this band is to end up functionally similar to King Crimson, with 1 lineup making a
record together, touring it, and then after 1 year, 2 years, whatever, deciding individually and
collectively if we want to carry on. Newness and regeneration should be built into the way the
band operates. It’s early days with the live stuff but so far we’ve played 14 shows with 44
different musicians as an informal 2-way audition process. A lot of the music we’ve been playing
has been extremely simple (at least compared to the music on the record), 2 or 3 chords, 2 or 3
sections, 2 or 3 ideas max in order for those 2 or 3, or 4 or more players to minimise rehearsal
time (on occasion I’ve met players for the first time on stage) and give players as much space
as possible to interpret the music how they wish.
