A couple of weeks ago Manchester-based music blogger Justhipper posted a message on Twitter saying:
“Dear Twitter musicians. For my birthday, can somebody write me a bleepy electronic song about robotic pigs driving flying cars?”
Quite why she wanted that particular subject matter I have no idea. However, always up for a challenge (there’s nothing like a specific brief to concentrate the mind) I decided to take her up on the task. Well, I missed her birthday by two days, but on Thursday night I turned in my finished MP3.
On Saturday morning it went up on the blog that Justhipper co-runs, The Indie Credential, for free download. So, go get yourself the new Star Fighter Pilot song ‘The Invisible Invasion’ now by clicking here.
Next month sees the busiest week in the Manchester music calendar - In The City. The world’s music industry flocks to the city to catch loads of new bands and hopefully sign a few along the way. Of course, some of the industry bods will only turn up to the most hyped shows and then sit around ‘networking’, talking all the way through gigs; but hopefully they’ll be at a minimum this year.
