8. We are 'The Lovecats'

Yesterday (Sunday 25th March), me and two of my friends; Fay and Jerri, went to a recording street on Southgate road, near Angel/ Old Street.

Our friend Craig (Template) who I have spoken about before (he runs Club Myra) was recording his single.

He'd heard me and four of my friends singing on our friends Foals' (who I've also spoken about before) record. In the summer of 2006 five of us went to Truck recording studios and sang some backing vocals for some of their songs, which include 'balloons' and 'french opening'.

French Opening has been played at clubs around London, Oxford, Nottingham, Brighton and elsewhere. It's also on a c.d which came free with NME dated 2nd December 2006.

We called the five of us 'the lovecats', due to a joke about singing love like cats purring. We made ourselves a Myspace account which has drawn attention from people who have listened to Foals and not known what was going on in the background, as well as grabbing attention of other bands. I played Craig one of the songs last year and he said about using us for backing vocals. We've also been sent a message by a band called 'Tiger force', asking us if we would sing on their single, when they have a new song.

The 'lovecats' thing is all a bit of a joke, we can't really sing, we can try to though, and it's just quite fun girly giggily type melodies- if you can even call it that. More chanting.

Craig is recording with a guy called Russ/ Junk scientist. His myspace is:

He has produced/ recorded The Rakes, Larrikin Love (who I will talk about in quite a bit of detail soon) and others.
