The third part of our newest release is now headed to press. Twenty years after it was originally completed Shambaholic is now set for its first release. The 16 songs have now been mastered and the cover art is complete. The limited edition Shambaholic CD will only be available by mail order from the Career Records Shop. The album will be bundled with a copy of the rare Light Proof Visions EP which contains four original 1994 Shambaholic mixes.
Donovan’s Brain appear on the the Dwight Twilley Tribute, Twilley Won’t Mind. Released this week. Other participants include Michael Carpenter, Matt Keating, Spike Priggen, and True Stories (Bart Mendoza). This limited edition CD is now available from the Career Shop.
Deniz Tek recorded a live session and was interviewed for Jack Rabid’s Big Take Over Show on Break Through Radio. The show debuts June 9th. This session features Deniz backed by Ric Parnell, Bob Brown and Ron Sanchez, the group that recorded the bulk of the Detroit album. The two hour show features four songs recorded for this broadcast, interview and some choice records selected by Jack.
Roy Loney played two North West shows this weekend with the Trip Wires and The Minus 5. The show at Mississippi Studios in Portland was a barn burner. Scott McCaughey sat in on piano and vocals. The show was professionally recorded and may find a release in the future.
Deniz Tek’s tour has gotten off to a good start. Nick from the Nomads dropped in on the Stockholm show to say hello.
Donovan’s Brain have set aside work on the new album to complete work on the unreleased 1994 album Shambaholic. The current plan is to release this at the same time as the new EP. This limited edition CD release will include the original 12 track album, 3 songs from the Butterfly Wheel cassette and the unreleased title track recorded for the Eclipse And Debris. Ric Parnell has recorded new drums and the band have added some new parts. The whole lot is currently being remixed. You can read more about this at the Donovan’s Brain page.
