It's been action central here at Catch and Release HQ, which should really mean lots of posts on this blog. Unfortunately most of the goings-on are unsuitable for broadcast. So instead we bring you BY FAR the coolest video we've ever been a part of. Our resident videographer, the all-around awesome Una, growing tired of … Continue reading Hempton Band in Arty Noir Masterpiece!

An Internet First: Cat Pictures!!

Tune #7 went down a couple of weeks ago, and as usual, the fabulous Una was on the scene, trusty camera in hand, to show why music is not a visual medium. But Minnow the cat's a looker isn't she??

Mostly Froot Loops, A Bit Bran Flakes: C&R So Far…

We're on the home stretch of this caper, and I thought I'd take a quick look at how things are going so far. When we eventually get to the end, I'll do a thorough dusting of the crime scene, but for now, here's where we stand. Musically, I couldn't be happier with what we've come … Continue reading Mostly Froot Loops, A Bit Bran Flakes: C&R So Far…

A Mad Dash

When we left off last, the fate of tune #6 was in doubt. With no tune written, no band booked, and a much-hyped snow storm on the way, we were right in the poo. And sure enough, poo-bound we remained, as the deadly snowmageddon blew in, burying the city in almost half an inch of … Continue reading A Mad Dash

It also just dawned on me that drummer to the stars (and me), Slammin' Dan Aran is about to … Continue reading A mad scramble, Jay Z, and sun on your bollards
