Seeing
Stars, The Story
Seeing Stars, a project
involving the last line-up of All About Eve
(bar Julianne) with Marty Wilson-Piper on
vocals, Andy Cousin and Mark Price. The album
was released on the 15th of April, although
so far it's only released in Sweden. The record
company, Borderline Music, are currently talking
with a couple of different companies in UK
regarding licensing and distribution there.
Marty is currently in Sweden doing a promotional
tour. See Swedish magazine artcile and album
review
Marty wrote to the Church
website :
On the subject of Never Swallow Stars nee
Seeing Stars, for those that don't know. When
All About Eve split up we were in an old converted
barn in Herefordshire. Basically Julianne
went back to London and we started writing
songs. We had a 16 track and a large freezing
room. We just went in their and jammed. We
started to get quite a few basic tracks together
and I started writing words and singing them.
It's recorded more or less live and then a
few overdubs here and there.It's now 3 or
4 years old. I've lost track. It's a real
saga. We are hopefully going to be putting
it out through Border Music in Sweden in the
early part of next year. The Seeing Stars
LP is making some progress. It's been mastered
and the artwork is at the first proof stage.
I'm very happy with it. I hope the world will
share my joy!
Border Music :
Marty Willson-Piper, mainly
known for his work as a singer, guitarist
and songwriter with the Australian band The
Church. He's also been a member of All About
Eve, and he's recorded four solo albums.
SEEING STARS is his latest
project, a collaboration with Andy Cousin
and Mark Price (previously in All About Eve
and Mission).
Classic pop & rock with
a unique brand of nervy and feeling. Sometimes
a little on the rough and hard side, some
times fragile and beautiful, like in the adorable
A Drink To Drift Away. A mix of Marty's solo
efforts and the Church album that never was
made.
