Pete Spiby Failed Magician

Listen 'Bible Studies' - https://soundcloud.com/peter-spiby-494181111/bible-studies-mix1/s-ALyCK Spiby is probably most well known for being the leader of Black Spiders - renowned for the face melting rock n roll and unmatchable swagger. Please welcome, ladies and gentlemen, Failed Magician. It's the title of Spibys new solo release. There comes a time in a mans life when the blues become mandatory listening and this in turn has informed his new songs. I have sorrow in my pocket and exorcising the ghosts is a way out of the darkness, he says. There were a lot of deaths in rock during 2017 that made me think about mortality, depression and life. There's a thread that goes through all of this and its basically a collection of domestic blues songs, sometimes seen from both sides of the story. Sabbath and Zeppelin have a lot to answer for, as I guess do the Beatles and the Stones, for embedding that feeling and influence into their music, he continues. Everyone that has since been influenced by them, directly or indirectly. Spiby called upon fans to fund his solo outing via Pledgemusic and smashed his goal to bits. Thats when shit got real, as they say, explains Spiby. I had a bit of a panic on, getting the songs together and finished; things started to take more of a shape I liked and could sort of understand. It started out so simple and I made it really complicated for myself and recorded 30 odd songs, which is a fuck load of time and effort. For his next trick, he assembled a crack team of neer do wells to help bring his ideas to life in the studio with Matt Ellis at the production console. Its quite a mixed bunch of losers really, he says. . If its the last thing I ever get to do, recording wise, Ill die a very happy man, says Spiby of his solo debut. 1. Lightning Bolt. 2.
