Lie Piggy, Lie has arrived too.

Same as below here is an album I knocked up while been away this past couple weeks. Recorded at the old Mansion Of Madness Studio.

Forgive the quality on a couple of tracks. I wasn't allowed to make much noise.




Both albums where recorded in similair fashion. Either android phone and or tablet using Audio Evolution or RecForge Pro. Then transfered to old mac, and mastered using Audacity among other things.

Enjoy and don't feel you have to pay anything. Please download for FREE. Music shouldn't be bought. It should be played and shared.

Cheers.

Weirdo Thunderbus is here.

Hi, peeps. Sorry for the long delay. Been dealing with the breakup of my marriage.

But of enough of that. Here it is in all it's lo-fi ingloriousness.

Enjoy and thanks as always for listening.

"Weirdo Thunderbus" album by T.P.C.

Hi,

It's here,nearly. The first of two new releases.

The first is an album entitled "Weirdo Thunderbus" by The Pleasure Cast.

It will initially be available for FREE download on here using Google Drive and Megasync.

As for it's content and direction. Well, let's just say I been listening to a fair amount of Jandek this last couple of years. It kinda shows a little on this. Just on some songs.

And yes, this one is just guitar and vox.

There's another EP or maybe even album to come but that could be a week or two.

Weirdo Thunderbus was written, performed/recorded in 2 hours one night last week.
I don't like drawn out affairs!

All the best everyone and have a great/safe Halloween.

What I been listening to? New EP soon (fingers crossed)

Hi folks,

Just discovered a couple great acts on Bandcamp. Well, actually through a blog called Dedicated Ears.

These are Human Kitten and Cool Timmy. Completely different acts from each other but I love them both so far.

I urge you to check these guys out at:

http://music.humankitten.net/ 


and

http://cooltimmy.bandcamp.com/


Both these folks offer albums for Name Your Price, but as always if you support them, then try to, as they are both excellent. Best things I've heard lately.

As for me, trying to get together a new EP sometime in October.

Been busy with personal stuff and life ain't going to well lately. Music has had to take a back seat temporarily. Hopefully I'll be back in the hotseat soon.

Take care everyone.

What you all been listening to? Feel free to post a comment on what you like or what I might like.

Spread the word about your fave unsigned act etc.

New Rarities and Oddities album by TPC

Hi everyone,

I wasn't up to much there for a week or two, so decided to put together an album of songs that never made it onto any major release of The Pleasure Cast or Judas Vigilante.
Some of these have been available on my other website for some time (www.judasvigilante.com), others have never seen the light of day at all and there are 3 new tracks as well.

The album can be downloaded for FREE from the usual www.thepleasurecast.bandcamp.com pages or listened to below if I get the player working ok.

Sometimes, some songs just don't fit on a record and sometimes songs are written as one offs etc with no other purpose other than to fill an hour of guitar playing.!

A few ended up as video only on Youtube and where recorded straight to video camera. One was a song originally called 'Autopilate' and was rewritten for a mental health dvd project for schools etc and renamed 'Persona Non Grata'. This too was recorded to video. There are videos for some of these tracks on Youtube. Simply try searching 'Judas Vigilante' or Persona Non Grata. Should do the trick.

For now you can enjoy below. Oh, before I go I should point out that this have been written and recorded since the start of my lofi adventures to present day. 2000-2015.

New Pleasure Cast E>P> courtesy of an argument!

Hi everyone,

A few nights ago I had a huge night of arguing with a very close loved one. As some kind of therapy I went to my room and tuned my guitar and started to write/record.

The result of this is the "Domesticated" E.P. by The Pleasure Cast.

It's available from the usual bandcamp page, https://thepleasurecast.bandcamp.com/album/domesticated-e-p

and here on the Internet Archive.

https://archive.org/details/Thepleasurecastdomesticated

I continue to bring you the best lo-fi music I can for FREE.

Wishing you all well and enjoy.

New project / E.P.

Just to let all you good lo-fi loving folks I have a new project and ep out.

The moniker is Razor Wrists and the 5 track EP is titled Opening Gesture.

The tracks are about a minute or just over in length each.
It's pretty lo-fi being recorded on android tablet using the built in mic to record the guitar amp.

It's available from bandcamp, the internet archive, jamendo and google play.

Just search Razor Wrists.

Enjoy. Many thanks.

Happy Easter everyone!

Hi peeps, just like to wish you all a Happy Easter. Hope you all get lots of choccy bunnies and eggs etc.

Things have been quiet this past few weeks here in Pleasure Cast land. I've put a couple EP's on Jamendo.com and I feel the itch to write record something new over the holidays.

If I get the time there might be an EP or LP which will be for Jamendo or The Internet Archive only as a total freebie.

I love the idea of music being free and the freedom it brings, not being commercially aimed at certain people etc. I would hate to have to try and sell my music, in fact, I'd probably feel guilty in some weird way, even though I have expenses on equipment and I put a lot of hard work/effort into it.

I will continue to my dying day to bring as much glorious lo-fi music as I can. Feel free in return to download and enjoy and also drop me an email of encouragement some time. Just a quickie to say hi and that you're listening. I am human and you will get a response, quite quickly in fact.

Well, anyways, gotta go. Have a great Easter everyone. Stay tuned for new release soon.

That's about it for now. I got a new multiFX coming this week and a new amp in a few weeks so will probably be rocking out a bit more and getting a bit weird too. Sorry, can't help myself.

Stay well everyone and thanks.
