21/5/12 : Knickers - My Baby's Just A Baby

As well as playing in The Lost Cavalry, Jonny and I also play in a band called Knickers, also featuring Dan from Pocketbooks and Simon of legendary Fortuna Pop band The Loves (RIP), and with the wonderful Sarah Eisenfisz on vocals. I play keyboards in the band in the style of someone waving their hands around and hoping for the best. Our first EP is out today on Elefant Records (available on iTunes today, and on limited edition 7" red vinyl very soon) and has already been played a load of times by Marc Riley and some other 6 Music shows.

Here's the brilliant video for the lead EP track 'My Baby's Just A Baby' directed by Laura Clarke...

The EP is available now on iTunes and soon on vinyl from Elefant. Mark.x

Additionally, the soundtrack is now available on iTunes and places like Amazon mp3. Plus you can still buy it directly from us from our band shop (which is cheaper and more of the money goes to us!). You can also buy the album on CD from our band shop.


18/4/12 : Get Right!

We're writing and recording at the moment, it's all very exciting. I've been trying out recording my vocals at different times of the day and after different things, and I think I might actually sound best when I have a hangover. I will need to carry out more experiments...

We're not doing many gigs at the moment but our next one is at the launch night of a new clubnight in Kings Cross called Get Right! It's free entry and should be a good night... also playing are Slides and Greater Varsa then DJ's until 4... There's even a Facebook event right here.

Over and out, Mark.x

Derek and I also were interviewed about our soundtrack recently, we'll let you know when the interview is released (hope we were interesting!).

5/1/12 : January

Hi Mark here. I'm off out of the country for all of January, so we're all having a bit of a well deserved rest - soon as I'm back in Feb though we'll be finishing off our new recordings and playing some more gigs. But until then, have a great January folks! Mark.x


13/12/11 : Christmas is coming

Christmas is coming so it's time to wheel out this old gem again...

Stop The Cavalry (Jona Lewie cover) by The Lost Cavalry

We've had an amazing year - Jonny joined as our new drummer and we've moved on a lot musically I think, our new songs (a yet unrecorded!) have a feel to them that we're pretty excited about, We'll record them soon as we can in 2012.

It seems that every Christmas someone new joins the band - this year, we're pleased to officially welcome Derek Yau as our new cello player! Derek played guest cello for us on our last EP and was my co-composer on the Booked Out film soundtrack (the film will be released in 2012 by the way). It's good to have him on board!

Enjoy your mince pies! Mark.x

Our EP launch for 'Snow City Radio' was an amazing night, thanks so much to everyone who came along and especially to We Walk On Ice and Keston Cobblers' Club for playing, and playing so well. The room was crammed and it was very hot! We finished the night by inviting Keston Cobblers' Club back on stage to play a couple more songs, one of which was our tune 'The Flood' - so here it is with ten of us on stage playing it together - it was quite something!
