The good people at Cultural Arts Travelogue have just put a short piece of video up on their blog featuring The Cakes, both live in performance (not fantastic quality I fear but I think that was more due to the surroundings, ambient noise etc?) but also using some of our newly recorded tunes as backing to the rest of the video… (the sounds quality improves dramatically from the 0.42 point!)
Check it out on their site here >>
Strangely this is good timing for us, as we are hoping to shoot our own little bit of video in the next week or so. Several club and festival promoters have suggested this as a good marketing tool (seeing us live in concert gives them a much better idea of how we actually sound than a possibly over-produced CD might?) so keep watching this space, you crazy folk fans!
Hi Clive
thanks for the lil blurb on the CAT. Sorry about the audio thingy, that’s something to do with the fact that your video was the 2nd one that we’d ever done – we recently invested in a proper videocam with external microphone and all and suddenly we can interview people in a busy mall or crowded area and also we have a special microphone to record an orchestra etc!
Thanks for your patience with a lil recording. We are getting better – check out the latest video posts!
