The Cigar Men Musicians on UKCF

[Robusto]

They ranged from very fit young girls to textbook milfs.
Most of the time, instead of saying "cheese" to camera, they said "Facebook".

It's very, very funny to walk into a playing situation when you don't know anyone. You have got to play well or else you balls up the night for the main man - and for the people who have paid money to come to the gig.

I'm no Rachmaninoff but I whazzed up my Do You Think I'm Sexy riff to gold standard.

Next to sex and good cigars, I bloody love playing in a good band.

I know two 'famous' players now, and they are both great... but it can be equally great with mere mortals lol.

PS That man has a FANTASTIC gravelly voice.

Bry - is it Ben Mills you were playing with? I remember liking him a few years back...when Leona Lewis won was it?

[Robusto]

I think that's right, SBoy. It was 2006.

Here's one we did the other night.



Being a 'local' boy, we know and have gigged with a lot of the same gigging musicians.

He's coming into my school to talk to the pupils I have in a BTEC Music group about Working In The Industry.

I'm under no illusions. He might have thought I was bloody awful and just said the right things. But I don't think so.

My sensual slow coitus with teaching means that somehow I will never be able to pull myself away from mounds of unmarked exercise books despite the magnetic frottage of the showbiz superhighway.

First Recording

New band.
All material written ourselves.
Rehearse on Sunday afternoons.
First recording session yesterday.
Here's what came out for the only track we have recorded so far.

We called ourselves The Towers, but that gets lost in the 9/11 stuff online.

We re-christened ourselves officially yesterday as PENTHOUSE.
Something to do with childhood memories...

The track we recorded is called "10 SECONDS" and I enjoyed a RASCC in the pouring Dover rain in the car on the way to the recording studio we used.

PENTHOUSE ARE:
BASS ? KRIS RODGERS
DRUMS ? WAYNE CASTLE
GUITAR ? PHILIPP HALL
KEYBOARDS ? BRYAN ORWELL
VOCALS ? MATT CLUBB
VOCALS ? SUELEEN FLETCHER
ENGINEER - ANDY MACK

Great stuff Bryan

...isn't there also internet implications when searching 'Penthouse' or am I just old

[Robusto]

PENTHOUSE is deliberately resonant of under duvet view n fiddles.

Hell, I'm a boarding school product and those pages were all we had, unless we turned to each other.

The band discussed all porno preferences, storage spots, masturbatoria... and it fits in with the overall focus of the project which revolves around a block of flats.

In Penthousian terms, I have a definite stiffy because those of us in the band have rehearsed an album's worth of original material and we plan to record it and tout it. I haven't done self-penned stuff as a group for 25 years. It is very satisfying. (Actually it's fucking ace). I'm even able to face the daily shite dose with a smile. I think the sound is stoner, and I love it.

I can't play cigar swapsies cos I can't afford it. When the album takes off, I'll be sending boxes x

(That rhymes).
