Wednesday, July 28, 2010 at 12:02AM Well, the new-fangled internet revolution continues. I was given a good tip by Nerina Pallot's husband recently, the very helpful and talented Andy Chatterly - he said to give Ustream a whirl; that it was ideal for live online performances.
So I duly did - I had a 'Twisted Tuesday' show tonight, where I played tracks from my first record, 'Twisted City', to a small group of people. It wasn't the most polished performance ever (my guitar was pretty out of tune, sorry about that) but it was enormous fun. Because of the chatroom functionality that accompanies the video stream, I was able to answer questions from listeners about the songs, do requests and so on. It was a very odd but pleasant experience.
Anyway, I'm going to try to take the concept a bit further. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to play the whole 'Lady Gasoline' album live on Ustream. I'd love you to be there; it all kicks off on 2 August at 8pm at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/chris-singleton-live. I'll be playing 4 tracks from 'Lady Gasoline' plus one from 'Twisted City' - we can have a straw poll on which one. If you're on Facebook, you can get a reminder etc. by going to http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=140541452633455&ref=ts and clicking the "I'm attending" link.
See you on er, telly.
