Hey There,
M.I.A. Squire here. If you stopped by this year (or any
year really), you probably noticed the Squires' site
doesn't change much. That's not to say things have
ground to a halt, quite the opposite. There are several
projects in the works. Among them is a new
Squires of the Subterrain album coming out in 2012. I'll
be posting a bit more about it in the coming weeks,
so don't switch your dial.
Warm wishes to you in the new
year!
Summer
2011----
The Squires'
studio has been damp this spring, but things are
heating
up and drying out in the subterrain. There's finally
light at the end of the
tunnel that leads to the new Big Boy Pete/Squires album!
Recording sessions
have been going well and will wrap up by the end of June.
Will keep you
posted with this release and all the other projects
underway.
Join
me over on Facebook and Myspace by clicking on the
buttons
at the top of the page. As always, there's music for sale
on the Order Page.
And
thanks again for stopping in.

Winter
2010----
Hi,
Thanks for stopping in. Hope the new year is treating you
well!
Just
got back from England. The highlight was a trip to
Wivenhoe where
I met up wth pop music genius, Martin Newell. We spent a couple of
nights down at the Greyhound pub drinking pints and
talking about music,
lawn mowers, and busking some of his favorite songs.
After the pub closed,
we headed back to his place where he shared his home brew
and gave a
sneak preview of his new Christmas song, Carol. As we said our goodbyes,
we hugged and I punched his lights out. Sorry about that.
Fantastic time all around!
Thank you Sir Martin!
Met up
with Wivenhoe blogger, Jason Cobb, for coffee the next day.
He's a
delightful guy and is clearly passionate about living in
this beautiful arts
community and fishing village in Essex.
His story about
the Americans' visit also ran in the regional magazineColchester 101.
Well
that's great, Squire, but what about the music? Have no
fear.
I've
been writing and recording new songs in the subterranean
studio.
A collaboration with Big Boy Pete is nearing fruition. Our
new album will
have Pete singing, playing, and producing.
-----------------------------Big Boy Pete and the Squire
Other
recent collaborators and visitors to the subterrain
include:
ADVENTURES The Squires of the Subterrain's Adventures in
Radio Land, TV Land, and the
Blog-o-sphere is an exciting departure from the Squires
usual blend of
psychedelic sunshine pop. Instead ADVENTURES is a far-out
collection of
theme songs, jingles, and adverts from such sensational
programs as
Mike Murry's Whole Lotta Shakin', Psychedelic Velveeta, and the Sound of Tomorrow!
