0 From the Vaults: – ‘Green Eyes Gone’ By My Pet Junkie – Live 2007
The 2nd in my From the Vaults Series looks at a project I have been a part of for over 22 years.
It’s amazing that a band formed at university when I was a teenager is still going as I enter my 40’s.
We even managed to play as recently at 2020 just before the lockdown.
Working with Julia Bell and Leon Camfield over the years has helped greatly with my journey. We have at least an album of unreleased material but given our own very conflicted schedules we are happy just to play and meet when the planets align.
Also for now our listeners will have to make do with live cuts from our years of shows together. This one dates back to 2007 (only 14 years – no big deal ;). This song has been very much a part of our set since 2005 and one of my proudest compositions.
The video has become randomly patchy over the years but I’m still super pleased to have it documented.
Filmed and edited by Mark Garvey and mixed by Chris Hollis
0 From the Vaults: Designed To Stop (With Full Band – ROTW Festival 2009)
Over the next few months I will be digging out various live videos and sharing them Via Youtube.
This is the first one: A song from my first album performed with a one off 6 piece band of Chris Hollis (Drums), Leon Camfield (Percussion & Electronic Percussion), Riad Abji (Double Bass), Vicky Flint (Trumpet) and the late great Dave Smale (Keys).
Big thanks also to Mark Garvey who filmed and edited this all those years back and to Stuart Alexander who provided the visuals for the back drop screen.
The original version of this song can be found on my 2006 album Autonomous Debut Here: https://stuartoconnor.bandcamp.com/track/designed-to-stop
