Rayzor Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Awesome tune, BF! My favorite so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted December 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Loving your enthusiasm, Rayzor! It is a great tune, isn't it?! Sadly, it's a cover version, so not one of our own. But if we keep working at it the great tunes'll surely come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) I have many... I'm a lyric-writer for hire! I give you the proper colors to use and you smear it on the canvas as you wish! Edit: My going rate at this point is simply credit where credit is due. Since I don't currently have a band going I don't see why my writing should go to waste. Edited December 6, 2012 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 ^^ sell-out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 ^^ sell-out. Bad deal? You can be my agent in that case, Shawna! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 I meant that for your general comment of "lyric writer for hire." Not to do with B-F at all. I'll gladly be your agent! No commercials, though. Or Justin Bieber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Does that make Carole King a sell-out? Or the Holland-Dozier-Holland team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Jim Steinman, Bernie Taupin, Julie Gold... I can handle the the type of paycheque they get. I don't mind starting pro-bono just to get my name out there though. Besides, it's for our buddy BF! btw Shawna... I hate Beiber, but my nephew looks like his identical twin. He has no problem getting girlfriends but he hates Beiber too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 FLIES ON YOU feature on a just-released compilation album called "INTO THE LIGHT". We are on Volume 3 of this triple album: Link to Into The Light Vol 3 The album has been compiled and released by Dandelion Radio DJ, Mark Whitby, who says "the album features a whole range of artists and bands, many of whom have featured on my Dandelion Radio show and others who will no doubt do so in the future. All of them deserve to be heard by a wider audience and hopefully this release will go some way towards achieving that. The album is also dedicated to the Russian band Pussy Riot, whose members were jailed for two years for the 'crime' of protesting against Russian president Vladimir Putin in a Russian Orthodox church." All tracks have been donated by the artists, bands and labels listed, with all proceeds going to voiceproject.org/programs/pussy-riot-support-fund.php, Any money you opt to donate will go towards supporting Pussy Riot's campaign for justice and to supporting their families while they're in jail. Alternatively, you can grab the album for nothing and donate directly if you prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind-fitter Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 The redesigned Flies On You website is looking pretty swish. Take a looky,here: FLIES ON YOU website The "News Page" will be updated - it's being done retrospectively, and we're too busy this week recording more music to be giving much attention to the website. Yes, we're recording new versions of some album tracks and an all-new number for a radio session for Mark Whitby of Dandelion Radio, to be broadcast on his show throughout March. They need to be ready this week. Pressure's on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Been a while since I popped up with a FLIES ON YOU update. The session on Mark Whitby's Dandelion Radio Show was such a success, we decided to release the four tracks as an EP, so that's available from the FOY bandcamp page We have recruited musicians to enable live performance and have our debut gig next month supporting a popular combo called The Lovely Eggs. (Friday July 19th Hebden Bridge Trades Club) We will be filming the show. From 3 angles, apparently. :cuttie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind-fitter Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Who remembers Tom Robinson, of the Tom Robinson Band? He had some quite big hits back in the day: most notably "2,4,6,8 Motorway". Well that Tom Robinson is now a presenter on BBC Radio 6Music channel. And he contacted us today, to tell us he's featuring one of our tracks on a forthcoming show. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggs1 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Will be at the Trades Club on the 19th. May have to carry a copy of the Times to be recognised though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blind-fitter Posted July 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Due for a spot of AirPlay on the BBC in about 3 hours time. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0072lbw Even if you can't tune in live, the show should be available to listen to for a week afterwards. Lets hear what Tom Robinson has to say about. Flies On You, shall we? :-) Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggs1 Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Saw Mr Fitter and his ensemble on Friday - the bastard lovechild of Morrissey and Muttley McLad!!! Decent bloke in real life too btw. I admire the man's cool too - the fire alarm went off halfway through, and he had to improvise with 5 minutes stand-up whilst they found it and bludgeoned it off the wall. Looking forward to the next one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
