These people who think they are making music with Suno are very odd.

I wish we could

wow - very cool

Booking venues is really difficult - they don't reply - even thou the last Fierce And The Dead tour sold out pretty much everywhere. It's like a closed shop.

The band I play in (The Fierce And The Dead) made a live album 10 years ago - it's not been available for a while - it is now! I'm quite proud of it and we played with Hawkwind. A lovely day.

New Fierce And The Dead
is heavier. Be interesting to see what people think. Older angrier.

Putting out music at the moment is really weird. I don't want to put out content. I want to make things that last. I really like writing and playing - it's working out how to get it out there, the tempation is to send out a few promos and plop it on Bandcamp but then no one hears it.

mate, it's the magic - the industry stuff is just numbers

Really loving making this new Fierce And The Dead record, still love it after all these years, coming up with new stuff that surprises us.

#NowPlaying: The Fierce And The Dead: Show Me Devon: Live At Kozfest 2019. Another spin for this epic new/old live album. I have to say I have a preference for the instrumental material, although the newer album with vocals is very good. @mattstevensloop.bsky.social

The above shot of Tommy Stinson is probably the greatest gig photo I've ever taken, although I know @mattstevensloop.bsky.social is fond of this one.

Matt Stevens mid performance with The Fierce & The Dead at Ramsgate Music Hall. Everything is bathed in blue light, and Matt is showing how he's professional enough to pull a huge chord out of the bag without pulling a face like he's followed through. The back of the shot shows bassist Kev in a now infamous polyester shirt.
