Guess what? We have another song for you! In our last session in the studio, we put down another song idea – Irish Girl. This is definitely one of my favourites, not just because I sing lead vocals, but because of how simple it is. Rob plays the piano and I play the acoustic guitar, [...]
It’s all busy here at robandkal.com. As you may have seen we’ve recently uploaded the new recordings from our latest Mubla 2.0 session. People have already started commenting and letting us know what they think and the feedback so far as been both positive and constructive with the latter being what we are really looking [...]
I was speaking to a friend who I had not seen for a while. She’d been on the site, as most of my friends have been coerced to, but as I hadn’t seen her, I hadn’t introduced it to her like I would most people I know. For me, this is a nightmare, because it leaves me [...]
In the same way that Eric Clapton had an influence on my guitar solos, Jerry “Jerry Wonder” Duplessis has had a massive influence on the way I play the bass. You may or may not know that I only really picked up a bass for the first time about two years ago. Before then, like [...]
We started Studio Day 4 with the return of the piano. We decided to re-record three piano parts that we already had from the first two days for various reasons. Vedere, which I felt came out best this time, was recorded far to fast first time round. I remember thinking at the time, that it [...]
No, you haven’t missed anything, this IS studio day 3. Our first two days were back in October, when we put down piano tracks and guide vocals and you can find out about our exploits here and here. Back to day 3, and it was refreshing to start off with some basslines. We are using [...]
I’ve just got home from Rob’s house where we spent the whole day (from about 8.45am!) rehearsing ahead of our return to the studio on Monday. It must have been the pressure of having a deadline, but we had a really productive day. I got the bass out again (see last time here) and we [...]
Another video from a couple of weeks ago. In case you missed the first part with Kal playing along to I Wanna Know then you can catch that here. This time he’s playing bass to Something To Me. You can hear us discussing what to do while he’s playing which maybe will be interesting to [...]
Coming up with new parts for song ideas is easy. That sounds ridiculously cocky, and of course it is because it only tells half of the story. What I mean by the statement is that for me, if I’m struggling to come up for a part for a song it is because I’m not really [...]
Hi guys, We put together a short video of our exploits in Greenwich for the photoshoot. Hopefully we seem like we’re having fun! If you didn’t know already, by sheer coincidence, Rob and I were born in the same hospital, in Greenwich, so we figured where else to have our first photoshoot than in Greenwich [...]
