Ideally, you should not still be mixing at 1:36 on the day that you’re mastering.  The reason this is happening is because NEON HIGHWIRE ARE IDIOTS.  There.  I said it.  Here I am, unable to really help out with “what the fuck is going on with the high pass filter on the cymbals on Isometric View” so instead I’m on a laptop, on a Friday night / Saturday morning. Gotta stop typing now, Jim’s getting all Nazi on me.

Now this is a story all about

Luminescence mastering!

A couple of guys who were up to no good started making trouble

At a sure-to-be-fantastic gig with a killer line-up at The Old Blue Last!

I got in one little fight and my moms got scared, she said

“Booking up a UK tour for next May!”

I pulled up to the house about seven or eight and I yelled to the cabbie

“Only a handful of t-shirts left, buy yours TODAY!”

but enough homage to The Fresh Prince, we gotta elaborate!

Luminescence

As you may remember from the last message, our début EP Luminescence is recorded and currently being lined up to be mastered.  If you think this process is taking too long, I propose berating Luke or Jim at one of our gigs.  I, Steve, or The Innocent don’t hold the copy of the wav files so am utterly powerless.  Jim also has “borrowed” my laptop for over a month now, feel free to tell him to buy a Mac and give mine back too.  You’ve got to be cruel to be kind.  Mastering and printing can’t even begin until we’ve got the tracks in a form to send.  Yes.

The Old Blue mother-flippin Last

On Tuesday December 1st, Neon Highwire open a devistatingly good line-up at fashionable Shoreditch haunt The Old Blue Last.  Sure Vice Magazine are profoundly up their own arses, but they’ve never claimed to be anything but.  If you lament Prince’s descent into noodley boringsville, check out Ignug.  It’s gonna be great.

UK Tour

Thanks to all those who got back to us with leads for booking up a UK tour for next year.  We still need your help so rack your brains and talk to everyone you know!  We don’t care what cities at the moment, most importantly is that it’s a decent night with bands involved too.  We’re looking at cities like Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Leeds, wherever.  So the message remains consistent, if you can help in any way (including the offer of floors to sleep on), you may just bag yourself a Neon t-shirt.  Oh the t-shirts!

T-shirts & downloads

Only a handful remain!  Get yourself down to one of our fantastic shows as listed below to get one for yourself, they look well lush.  Alternatively, contact us through www.myspace.com/neonhighwire to get one personally delivered.  Good golly!  Don’t forget you can still download tracks from the debut promo from http://amiestreet.com/music/neon-highwire or http://indiestore.7digital.com/neonhighwireuk/.
