Ok this is our (the Surgens) version of “the Happening” that we have recorded for a Nu Blues compilation CD. hope you like it!. you can download it from our website at http://www.thesurgens.co.uk/mp3s.htm
For all you musicians out there: it was recorded at gizzard studios London UK live straight to anologue tape. Lead guitar 1954 Fender Esquire & 1957 Fender Tweed pro amp - 1941 Noble lap steel & 1957 Gibson GA- 20 - 1960 bullet harmonica mike & 1963 Epiphone amp - 1964 Framus bass Guitar & 1964 Ampeg bass amp and a saw (year unknown). no effects pedals were used. so it should sound older than frank blacks original or is this the original?
We are also using this recording session to try and get a record deal so if anyone can recommend anybody that would be great.
Thanks again to Frank and the Pixies for their influence on all the band members over the last 15 years.
That sounds great Lester!! Loved it. I found whoever singing sounds like a cross between David Thomas of Pere Ubu and Bob Mould, mostly in the second half of the song. Fuckin' great stuff. Good luck!
