If you haven’t already noticed we’ve moved!

Thats right take a look at your address bar it should now read www.happinessatgunpoint.co.uk.

This will be our new home from now on and its a little easier to type than that long old thing we had before, so please update any bookmarks you may have had and continue to use this new address.

Website Design Finalised…. Almost

Gary Black — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 11:00:46 +0000

Ok I think I’ve finally settled on the design for the website, after coming up with a new band logo the whole thing needed redoing.

So hopefully you’ll see the nice spanking design with the funky handwritten titles etc. This are not images they are flash files that are generated on the fly using javascript. If anyone is interested in doing this I suggest you look at sIFR (Scalable Inman Flash Replacement) it really is fantastic.

So apart from small updates to the layout every now and then this should be it, please let me know if you have any issues with any parts of the site.

Fresh Tracks!

Last night Happiness@Gunpoint descended on Studio 91 as they do every Thursday evening to have 3 hours of fun packed rehearsal time. Only this time there was a difference!

Whilst we work out the time and money required to get Jordan to lay down some pro tracks we thought we’d take our old recording gear up there so

we have a reference point
so we could upload something here that doesn’t sound like complete wank.

Last night we managed to get some rough and ready recordings of Gone Away, Farewell To Innocence, Shaun, Guardian Angel, and Can’t Stop Me. We would have had the funky version of Gone Away but Steven didn’t shut down the mixer correctly and it has been lost to the ether.So now I have to sit here get it all off the mixer and mix it down as best of possible. I’ll post back once its complete.

New old song uploaded.

Ok I’ve uploaded the original version of Shaun so that you may take a listen. Bear in mind that his has changed a fair bit and you’ll have to try to ignore my scratchy vocals as I recorded the whole thing myself as I was writing it.

Have a listen and let us know what you think. Shaun

Hopefully it’ll be fairly easy to work out what the song is about

New Stuff!

We’ve been real busy over the past couple of months, and spending a fair bit of cash in the process.

I’ve now got a full complement of cymbals and also a nice shiny new drumkit in the shape of a Mapex Pro-M.

The boys on guitars now have some more toys too, in the shape of a Cry Baby pedal for Ben and a couple of boss pedals for Steve. This has really helped us work on our own sound and things are really beginning to come together.

Sian now has a tambourine which she hasn’t really put to much use at the moment as it makes her thigh hurt, but I’m sure that will come.

There are a couple of new songs in the pipe line which are currently referred to as “New Song” and “New New Song”, but I’m sure we’ll come up with some decent names eventually.

I’m hoping some time in the very near future we’ll have some more photos to upload and perhaps a video but this is dependant on other people getting them to me (Yes that means you Flo and Ben!)
