Intensities in ten sitting rooms
"Lock up your Lladro" (Moritz)

Previously announced in late 2004 as a solo project, the newly formed Adelangsts MK5's first new recording project, likely in late 2005, will consist of recording a semi live album with some of their most loyal fans, actually recorded in the front room of the fans house!  Says Moritz "the idea actually came from Slade, who back in the early 1970's recorded their classic Slade Alive album on front of a few fans in a studio.  The result was amazing.  We thought we could take this a bit further by recording a live album in peoples living rooms.  We will be selecting places within our known fan base and recording around 10 new tracks, one in each place"  Jim continues "it would help if you happen to own a bloody great Georgian mansion in Somerset or something, but any old front room will do really, as long as it can accommodate the PA and monitors.  We have arranged for the Proclaimers Truck mobile unit to be on hire so that this can be placed outside the houses to record."  Moritz is keen to point out the potential pitfalls from not having enough parking facilities "You must be able to park a couple of large lorries outside your house, I mean the mobile is pretty big, but also there is the transport for all the kit, and somewhere we'll need the bands touring coach.  This kind of detail needs to be examined before anywhere is chosen".  Jim continues "the reality is, you really do need to have a big enough room with parking facilities for all our touring faction.  I haven't even considered catering and all that.  I guess those of you living in 4 bedroom housing built over the past 40 years or so better forget it". 

 

Those involved in this concept better expect the full throttle approach of Jim and Moritz.  "We aren't going to hang back just because we are in your front room.  We'll be strutting our stuff and the guitars will probably end up above our heads and around our ankles as usual.  You'd better lock up your Lladro" says Moritz.  We'll be giving it our all."
