That last retweet from @SingleBass is fabulous. Jennifer was doing solo bass gigs a long time before me, and has been a source of inspiration since I first saw her play in the late90s/early 00s at the 12 Bar club!
She's a really important part of the story of solo bass in the UK, so it makes me really happy to hear new music from her :)
From my song Red Skateboard

From my song "Apples". This is a tune from my duo with Nahuel Bronzini, Gibson & Bronzini.

An old friend of mine died yesterday, someone who had a huge impact on my music life back in the 00s, and whose friendship I cherished even when we didn't get to see each other for many years. It's tough to make sense of in words, so I played this. It's called So Much Left Unsaid.
just posted a new video - 'It All Comes Together In The End' uses a much under-explored way of making music with a looper: looping the melody and then varying the chords underneath, rather than being stuck with the same four chord loop for hours. Give it a watch, it's fun ;)

Bandcamp listening party tonight for my latest subscriber-only Bandcamp release. Open to all (and free, in case that wasn't apparent!), the listening party idea works by playing us the music at the same time, with a chatroom embedded on the page so we can talk about it as we listen. It's fun, come join in at 8.30pm, UK time,
just wrote a longer thing about nine years of the subscription on my blog: https://www.stevelawson.net/2023/10/nine-years-of-my-bandcamp-subscription/
(it's SO weird to post a link to something and not have to think 'oh no, the algorithm is going to squash that so no-one sees it' FUCK meta)

Robin Mullarkey's solo bass version of Just My Imagination is basically perfect. One of my all time favourite solo bass things ❤️❤️
A practice vid, working on some legato melodic stuff through a rather gorgeous low gain overdrive. If watching bassists try out new ideas of your idea of a good time... :)
RSVP page for tonight's Bandcamp Listening Party - https://stevelawson.bandcamp.com/merch/episode-50-a-new-hope-listening-party - we're listening to the remaster of Episode 50: A New Hope, which was recorded and released just after my 50th birthday and right around the time I was told there was no detectible cancer in my body. So lots of stories here :)

just recorded this cover of Let The Day Begin, as a tribute to my friend Pip Wilson who died yesterday.

new video, messing around with the Dunlop Justin Chancellor Cry Baby Wah. It's a fuzz-wah for bass, and sounds immense! Proper Cliff Burton vibes to some of the tones it'll produce :)
