Mitch Benn, GoD guitarist and damn funny guy is releassing his first single. Below are details of both the single and the album. Do him a favour and buy his single. The UK charts needs a little levity these days that is for sure. Or rather it needs some music that is deliberately funny rather than being so bad its funny.
THE SINGLE
Ever since we premiered Everything Sounds Like Coldplay Now on the last series of Mitch Benn’s Crimes Against Music back in April it’s been clear that this is a song which strikes a chord with people; Word magazine included it on their freebie CD a couple of months ago, there have been newspaper articles about it, critics mentioning it in their reviews of X&Y and so forth.
So we’ve decided to put it out as a single ahead of the release of the new album (of which more in a minute); we’re going out on a bit of a limb here as we have no experience of the single market at all, but nothing ventured etc.etc.
And yes we HAVE made a video for it. We’re very happy with it; whether it’ll ever be shown anywhere I don’t know, but you can help, and here’s how...
The single comes out on Monday September 5th. What I need as many as possible of you to do, is on or about Monday 5th, go to your local branch of HMV or Virgin or whatever and buy the damn thing, or, (as is likely to be the case) if they haven’t got it in, order it from them (its catalogue number is LSM001). If nothing else this’ll shake up the distributors and get it into some more stores, and frankly, given the state of singles sales right now if we can sell about two thousand copies it’ll actually CHART, for God’s sake. That’s got to be worth a shot, hasn’t it?...
