Hey peeps,

its 4:45am right now and I just thought I would send you all an update on how things are going before I get a couple hours sleep ahead of another busy day, Yaaaawn... ;-)
Things have been going really well, the new music is coming along great and I’m really enjoying everything I’m involved in right now.

"7" played our first full 2 hour + show at the assembly rooms Ludlow last month and we had such a great time, it was a luxury to have all the backing tracks + visuals throughout the show.
It’s hard to live up to since most venues don’t have the facilities to cater for animated visuals as a backdrop, we are more than prepared to just rock out without the visuals though and rehearsals have really been some of the best we have ever had.

As always I’ve been working hard on new pieces of music, if I wanted to I could probably delve into another 3 album release but feel I should slow things down a little hehe.
Need to give myself a little more time to let things "Breathe" ;-)

As many of you may know I’ve been working on a piece of music entitled "Breathing" which I had written and recorded especially for Guitar Idol 2010!
It’s always been great fun entering into the Guitar Idol competitions and the last 2 competitions have been a really good experience for me, above all it’s been a really great tool for exposing my music to people and appreciating their interest in what I do.

With the help of Tony Knight and Ben "Billy Bob" Bosco I’ve been able to create a video that’s a little more special this year, myself and Tony spent a day travelling to different areas in and around Telford to shoot some external footage.
If you’re from Telford you may find a few of the shots familiar, in addition to that myself and Ben "Billy Bob" Bosco filmed some close up footage indoors so the judges and avid guitar fan can see my playing in more close up detail.

The entry has now been submitted and you are all welcome to head on over to http://www.guitar-idol.co.uk/video/583 and show your support by voting for me, it would be great to make the final this year but again... I’m more than happy just to be gaining the right exposure from an event like Guitar Idol.

Download the full mp3 version of "Breathing" and full album versions of "Foxy's Crazy" and "Hometown" from Here.

Just a short one here folks, just want to say a final thank you for your continued support and as always stay safe and well.

We will see ya on the road soon!

Lucky ;-) xx

Hhmmmmmmm???

Hey all,

Had a few things on my mind and I just wanted to ask you all a question....

Every now and then i get negative comments with regards to the musical direction and vision for the music i create and perform with the band.


Ive always felt a passion for instrumental guitar more so than any other genre of music, dont get me wrong i love all types of music but i find Instrumental guitar to be something i naturally migrate towards when expressing myself emotionally through music.

My issue lies with comments we have had after shows, mostly with regards to the lack of vocals that appear in our set.
Ive never been concious of captivating a market or a group of fans, its always been about creating music i and my band love to play.
It seems now we get these comments more often than not, what does this say about the future of instrumental guitar music as a genre?
I will stress that this is my own personal experience though, and obviously i cannot detremine the fate of any musical genre based on what i alone am experiencing out there.
Me and my band still have alot of area to cover in terms of venues, towns and cities, since we have played only few shows in the UK, midlands and i imagine and i hope that there are venues that have music fans that enjoy going to see a band playing the type of music we play.
As i book shows for the band right now it is something i grow uncomfortably concious of, of course you shouldnt worry about these things and just go out there and enjoy yourselves but it is difficult to gauge what people want to see in certain places.

So... are you a music fan that tends to lean more towards a band with a lead singer since you relate to words more than emotions expressed purely in notational form?
Let me know....

The other reason i ask is because its also an issue im more concious of whilst writing new music, i have never been the type to sell out by following a trend or trying to capture a market.
I could never produce something that expresses true emotions with true conviction, if it had been tailored for a certain genre.
Does this mean an artist has to be false in order to produce something that is to be accepted?

It can be a very frustrating time when you cant go out performing and enjoying the music you create with so much negativity out there.
One thing has always been true though, if i produce a piece of music be it with vocals or just guitars or even a digital orcheastra then those pieces of music are always written with a true sense of personal conviction.
This isnt a unique feeling and i think creative people all feel that way, and if they dont then they should!

Im not saying that myself and the band feel we are so accomplished in the industry that the market should just accept us, i just feel such a whirlwind of negativity out there right now and just wanted to share the experience with you all.

Well... we are still going out there and performing for you all and we are still selling CD's which is something we cannot complain about but we do rely on and thats the truth!


Stay safe peeps, keep doing what you do and enjoy yourself.
The only motto you need in life

Peace & Luv,

Lucky Singh

Hey all, Lucky here lol!

I wanted to apologize for the fact we havnt updated any of our webpages for sometime now, everyone has just been so busy with usual day to day things that we havnt had time to focus on the music (dont get me wrong the break has been nice, i just dont like feeling as though things get sidetracked too much)

Well......
We have been rehearsing!! Thats right, myself, Ben and Kev have recently began working on the live set again. Things are very different this time around though, for those of you that came out to see us last year well... prepare to expect alot more if you can haha! (allthough the shows from 09 were great and we really enjoyed them)
I dont want to give too much away but im feeling really good about things this time around, seems like the initial ideas and vision that came from all 3 of us from the beginning will actually come to fruition!

It has been months and months of ups and downs both on a personal and proffesional level, not knowing what to do with the music, the band etc.. The break has given us time to rethink our approach and just give it some balls and get out there and play some music!!

Well there isnt much more i can say here but i gotta say the first couple rehearsals have been great, the music is sounding better than ever and the time off has made us all realize how much we've missed eachothers company but also how we've missed playing these songs.

Peace & Luv As Always ;-) xx

Check out our latest cover version of Steve Vai's "Freak Show Excess". We've been wanted to do this one for a while, and it took us a few weeks to learn and put together. Hope you enjoy!

The Weeks Shinanigans!!!

Well.....
Myself and Ben have been working mega, mega hard on getting the trailer finished for our new feature The Origins Of Project 8105!
It has taken myself and Ben between 5 and 10 hours to complete it, its amazing all the hardwork and time we put in for a trailer that runs just under 2 minutes hehe!
Thank god we had all the artwork provided by Kev, we are very pleased with the result and it gives us a clear idea of what these episodes will look like.
You can watch the trailer here http://www.youtube.com/7uckytv
Also episode 3 of The Mystique Of "7" is now up so you can go and watch that there too!


And on that note (anything between A and G# hehe) we will be seeing you soon!

Peace and Love as always ;-)

The Mystique Of "7" & The Origins Of Project 8105

Just updating you all on a few things (Whoever you are hehe)

The 2nd episode of The Mystique Of "7" is up at our youtube channel www.Youtube.com/7uckytv
In this episode I talk about the 2nd track "Its My Desire" which Features on my instrumental guitar album entitled "7"
Its really strange because ive never felt comfortable hearing my own voice or watching myself on video hehe, i dont know what it is theres just a real cringe factor for me when it comes to doing things like this.
Serves me right for choosing the career path i have chosen i guess haha.
Maybe in time i will get more comfortable with it and except it without screwing my face up whilst watching myself on video or hearing myself on record haha, maybe someday i will have that "Jack Black" attitude where i can just vibe with my inner stupidity lol!
Anyway.... so the 2nd episode is up and you can go and watch it right now
(or after youve read the rest of my wafflings first hehe)

As always please pay a visit to the website at www.LuckySinghOnline.com
There you will find all the information about all 3 of my debut albums

"7" which is my first real introduction into Instrumental Guitar Music

Tokyo Rules which is a vocal oriented, straight up, rock/pop album

Project 8105 which is a concept album crossing many different genres, with a comic book style booklet and many elements of movie sparkle thrown in for good measure hehe.

Myself and Ben have been working hard on editing the next video feature which will be exclusive to our youtube channel entitled "The Origins Of Project 8105"
The coming soon trailer is a days worth of editing itself, we wanted to (as always) try and make the next thing we produce better than the last.
All though that is the case when we come to producing something new, The Origins Of Project 8105 is a completely different format anyway so it will stand out from many other features without having to strive for a certain uniqueness!

Peace & Luv as always,
