Album notes.....

Hello all,

My names Ken and I'm one of the members of 8Ball. After a long sabbatical we've emerged from hiding with a new album under our belts. We're all very proud of the record 'With all your friends' and we plan to have it released in the near future. You can check out some of the tracks on our myspace page www.myspace.com/8balltheband.

We recorded the album with Mr. Ian Caple in the sleepy surroundings of East Sussex. We had two weeks and a tight budget but I think we achieved what we set out to do. Along the way we discovered some new sounds and toys. Chief among these was a discontinued instrument known as a guitaret. You'll be able to hear it on Rooftops and Soulsaver. If anyone has one for sale please do get in touch.

For those of you who don't know us we've been compared to SFA - OK!, Yo La Tengo, Crosby Stills and Nash and even DJ Shadow. The new album has elements of Soul, Techno, Pop and even Lo-Fi Rock. I would really like to know who invents these terminology's. They're always so wrong. Probably best to leave it up to you, the listener.

Hope you enjoy
K
