#6 | Time To Pick Up The Pace.

Yellow,
           The past week has been a tale of overcoming the trials and tribulations that we face as a band, as young people, and as friends. It's seen two photoshoots, a day long studio session, countless hours of listening and altering sounds, and things that we're not even going to delve into. But enough of the melancholy shit, let's get down to business.


We performed the shoots in two separate locations: one in the centre of Manchester and one in Prestwich Clough and the surrounding areas, to attain different styles of photography, and to try out our ideas for our forthcoming EP/Record ...... the mixing is finally nearly complete - I know you've heard us say this before, but this time, IT REALLY IS NEARLY COMPLETE! We're all incredibly excited at camp Stella to show it off, but when will it be released you ask? .....
                                               Hmm...... you'll have to wait and see.


There are more developments on the horizon, beginning tomorrow morning.... something to do with a Label?

As always, stay aboard the ship.

Stella.

#5 | Biography, Summer 2011.

The ship it ventured forth to lands anew.... fresh easterlies fanning the burgeoning sails, as the bubbling wake emanated from the ships bow....blue nosed dolphins surfing on the breaking crests

Oh well we can all dream..... the Stella Marconi journey continues.... with inspired vigour

Recent time in the studio laying down new tracks for the onward leg of the journey.New friendships and compatriotsto share our voyage of discovery....We proudly announce the fact that the incredible prodigious talent that is 'The Indecent' from New York USA, signed to Warner Brothers Records,are coming over to the UK, as a joint enterprise to perform at the Academy 3 in Manchester and The Academy 2 Islington London.....

..... and joining this escapade of merriment ...Ms Kirsty Almeida... a songstress supreme....with unbounded talent... on the cusp of great things


Our amazing new EP.... as yet untitled and at the time of writing this, unmixed, will break new boundaries for your listening pleasure providing voyeuristic delectation for your ear drums and certain areas of your brain that you thought only certain beers could reach...... a treasure trove of tunage that 
Long John Silver would sell his parrot for....

Write it firmly in your diary/iphone/ ipad/computer/old piece of paper you put in your handbag/ that old lottery ticket that you never realised had won a tenner/your hand ( although you won't be able to wash for a few months)..... even on your plaster cast ( yes you who tripped over on the kerb after one too many)......

YOU WILL SEE - 'THE INDECENT'.....'STELLA MARCONI'.....and......'KIRSTY ALMEIDA'

The sea may be rough at times, the rollers crashing onto the jagged rocks, (metaphor for dreadful dross on the music scene incase you missed the irony) ..... Get aboard the good ship 'Stella' for a safe steerage to that promised land of ground breaking edgy indie, with a penchant for shear entertainment pleasure.

Wills got Kate.... Harry got a JD and a splif.... and a night in Chelsea..... Andew got an all expenses fortnight on a £40 million yacht off a dodgy geezer, so did Beatrice and Henry Poncemby Smythe...The Queen stroked her Corgi....Prince Philip smiled..... 

And You got ....'Stella Marconi' .... the only band to get the royal leg tapping and put a bass line through the corridors of Buckingham Palace.... As Princess Eugene was heard to say one morning whilst picking at her breakfast kipper...' That Stella Marconi.... they really are jolly immense'.... 

Enjoy... you know you will...!!!!!!

#3.3 | Buried Deep In The Ground.

Hallo!
         The treasure... is taking a while longer than expected to be pulled to the surface. So we've decided to extend our stay in the Studio. 


We're nearing completion, and we're now onto the final stages of mixing. Wednesday saw a 12 hour mammoth session of vocals and mixing, so we're waiting until early next week to go back and finish off our work. We hope to make it all available to you all soon.


We have a whole host of photo's to share:

#3.2 | The Final Voyage.

Good Evening,

                       Sunday saw a long day at the studio, leaving all involved completely shattered. It's only now, on the eve of the final day of the expedition, that we've found the energy to write.

We spent Sunday morning overlaying some final guitar tracks and recording an entirely new track, created there and then in the studio. A spark of inspiration set the idea alight, and before we knew it, we had formulated a song. The day concluded with the near completion of the vocals.

WE GO SEARCHING FOR THE TREASURE AT SUNRISE........ we mean......... we start the final mixing session early tomorrow. You should see some new tunage on your horizons soon.

Until then, here's a selection of photographs from the second day at the studio, credits to Raven Wakefield.

We also have some immense news coming in the next few days so,

Stay Aboard,

#3.1 | Captain's Log - Exploration Day.

Hola!
        After a long day's hard graft, we have finally come across the treasure that the prophecy foretold. It has surfaced in the form of a sweaty afternoon, creating music. We hope soon that we can share these delights with you all. In simpler terms: Drums, Bass and Guitars completed... with the addition of a chinese frog, and a tambourine. 


We overlay our vocals tomorrow. We hope they'll suffice after these beers...


Until then, you can view our first gallery of photos from the studio here, exclusive to this blog. They're not the best photos, but better ones will follow tomorrow.
