Cringe

Cringe was the band I joined in Edinburgh in late 1988

Keith Patrick was vocalist and Guitarist,Brian Fowlis played Bass and we had a series of Drummers including Nick from the Ruby Suit and Jimmy from Root Love.

 We played gigs far and wide from Fife to Newcastle and beyond.We got around in Keith´s battered old Lada.We split in the early 90´s..happy days!

After a few days  teaching English I am back to recording and mastering CD´s.

The first is volume 11 of the 11 o´clock club which has some epic jams in the Sun Ra cosmic style.

Return of the R.F.O. part 2

For this gig we were joined by Alain´s daughter on keyboards along with Jorge on trumpet.

Return of the R.F.O.

Robert Lawson Unit-No Sweat

It´s been another busy week on the music front.Along with finishing the last 11 o´clock club C.D. and recording a session with Joel Knispel and Javier Denis (see below)  I have had time to knock out another C.D. of my own.

Javier Denis played Sax on Jupiter Spring and I got to grips with my new Ebow on Rust and Rain.

Denis/Knispel/Lawson-Taking The Fifth

Javier Denis-Tenor and Sopranino Saxophones
Joel Knispel-Electric Guitar
Robert lawson-Drums

This is the fifth session we have recorded as a trio.

Sleevenotes project

I have just started working on my sleeve notes project again after a few months off.It consists of me writing sleeve notes for all 200 CD's on the Tinytapes label.I already put out a small booklet of the first batch.God knows when it will be finished.Possibly never!

Debut gig of the Riogordo Freedom Orchestra

 

Last night was the debut performance of The Riogordo Freedom Orchestra at Casa Invisible in Malaga.

We were the first performers followed by a duo reading utilty bills to some free skronking  sax and an amplified Table Football match backed by violin and drums.

working on the next CD

Just Spent the evening mixing the recording session I did with Joel Knispel yesterday..joel on guitar and myself on drums.I think it sounds pretty cool..no effects just straight guitar (with some odd tunings) and me bashing away with my chopsticks and rubber ball mallets.
Haven´t figured out a title or track listings yet but that often only happens after I find the right cover artwork.

A call from the cosmos

Here´s the lastest Robert Lawson Unit CD.With special guests Jorge Wienken on Trumpet and Javier Denis on sax.This has more of a space funk vibe than other RLU stuff.

So It Goes-Denis/Lawson/Piñero

My first double CD!
Javier Denis-Sax
Alain Piñero-Warr Guitar
Robert Lawson-Drums

Recorded live to stereo on my Tascam DP 004.

New C.D. Crying won´t help

Here´s my first C.D. recorded almost totally on my new tascam dp 004 recorder.
