A couple of blue mooons ago (last week) Chips for the Poor were asked to contribute a song to a forthcoming compilation celebrating the 2 year history of the 113 Dalston Lane venue.
We were lucky enough to record live in the actual nest and being true fuckin professionals whipped off two songs in three takes. One take was wasted due to Chips floppy fringe disruptating the flow from his busted drain brain.
We look forward to the compilation coming out and thanks to 113, Keeby and Mark for the set up. You can have the master blaster new hit we didn’t give to the comp, right here, right now…

*CFacTP* this song has only ever been played twice, once for 10 minutes, once live and this arrangement was new to all including Ben who’d only ever heard the title before. Marchin on sunshine to the 1 take-tion army.
