Progress update....

We're so close to finishing the new record I can taste it. In the meantime - here's a live track of a new song entitled 'The Wicker Bar' which hopefully lands on the correct side of the scrappy/endearing border:

And here we are in the studio getting the bloody thing recorded:

New shows...

Hi everyone,

Hope you've been keeping well. I am delighted to announce some new RSP shows. Most of these are FULL BAND which excites me more than you will know. We can't wait to unleash the new material properly. Here are the details:

31/03/12 - London, Wilmington Arms (afternoon acoustic set for BLAND AID)

31/03/12 - Portsmouth, The Loft (supporting BEATAMAX)

06/04/12 - London, Camden Wheelbarrow

17/04/12 - Southampton, Joiners (acoustic, w/ Chris TT)

06/05/12 - Portsmouth, Edge of the Wedge

There will, of course, be much more to be announced around Summer time, when I expect the new album will be out. Hope to see you soon.

Hello 2012 - New RSP material, couple o gigs

Hello everyone,

A very short announcement for today; we have recorded all the drums and bass for the new RSP album, it has around 15 tracks and is coming along nicely. Very exciting to be back recording again.

I'll be trying out some of the new songs in an acoustic setting in February, with a stripped-down RSP line-up in the following wonderful establishments:

Feb 10 - BRIGHTON - The London Unity

Feb 27 - LONDON - Amersham Arms

Come along and say hi maybe? These should be fun.

Cool Hand Luke.... Finishing Touches

So it's been a mad few weeks, I've taken my solo show - with help from my RSP boys Pauly B and Elliott Gregg - around the country (well a bit of it) and played some of the most fun and some of the most ridiculous (sometimes both at once) gigs of my life.

Our last gig of the tour, and year, was in Birmingham playing for our good friend Addis, and who should turn up but our biggest fan (sorry Mum) - Fred from Wisconsin in the GODDAMN US of A!

Then last weekend me and Pauly B plus our families went to the last night of the Cool Hand Luke show starring Marc Warren as Luke. It was a really faithful recreation of the book, and I loved it.

I also met John Simm from one of my all-time favourite TV shows The Lakes, plus his mate.

Seeing the show was a great way to draw a nice line under the Cool Hand Luke period in RSP's life. We will still play the songs amongst our set, but we're moving onto a new old soundtrack and the album will be out next year. I've demo'd all of the songs and all I can say is you'd like them. You really would.

See you in 2012.

UPDATE! Remaining 2011 shows.... new recordings.... etc

Hello!

I have a handful more solo shows this year in Richmond, Brighton, Camden, Portsmouth, Chichester and Birmingham. Come on down if you can, it has been most fun so far. Check out the live page for more details.

Also, I have now 95% written the new RSP record, and I'm very, very excited about getting it recorded asap. Hopefully a Summer 2011 release at the latest.

I'm also pleased to announce that we'll be working with Kiss My Face Music in 2012, which should see us play shows a bit further afield - watch this space. A-ha!

See you soon,

Kyle

PS... here's a little video our multi-talented drummer Elliott Gregg made about a recent mini-tour we did. Overpriced service station fry-ups, overpriced service station pens and racist dogs:
