What up folks

I’m pleased to announce my second solo project “Lions on the Beach” is now available for free download at the address below,

http://marksmanlloyd.bandcamp.com/album/lions-on-the-beach

I’ve worked on this for the last 5 months and had the chance to record it with fellow community member Lewis Galaga. I feel like it’s some of my best work to date and I’m really proud to be able to share it with you all. The bulk of production comes from my man Creed Birch as well as a sneaky beat thrown in there from ASAP. Guest wise it features, in my opinion, 3 of the best singers around. Aaron Malone from Whisky Winter. Sophie Hopes from Tired Lion and Soho as well as my little sister Caitlin Lloyd.

I hope you all connect with this in some way and thank you for you support thus far.

Enjoy

Hey yall

We’ve finally finished the film clip for Suit ‘n’ Thai.

Director, Steve Browne and I spent 5 days in Phuket, Thailand filming guerilla style and this is the result.

A big thanks to everyone involved with the launch last Friday and a special thanks to Odette Mercy, Wisdom 2th for the incredible production and Steve Browne for being involved with this and helping to shed light on a situation that is in dire need of change.

Check the link below to view it.

So we were suppose to fly out yesterday to shoot the clip for Suit ‘n’ Thai.  Unforeseeable  circumstances that involve a passport… or lack there of, mean that we have had to postpone the trip for 2 weeks.

Bit of a bump in the road but we’ll be over there soon enought to shoot, what I hope, is something special.

On a side note thanks to everybody that has been downloading the album and supporting the shows. Your feedback has been amazing and it’s great to see so many people digging what we are doing. You guys are awesome!

peace people

Mark

So mixing and mastering is almost finished for “the bridges in spain”, and we’re in the process of organising a launch date right now. Sibalance is doing an amazing job in getting the tracks sounding insanely ill and I can’t wait to finally unload this beast on you all.

One of the tracks off the release delves into the harsh realities of the sexual slavery industry that is rife all over Asia and many other parts of the world. The track was written after a trip to Phuket in 2008, it’s called “Suit and Thai” and features the incredible Ofa Benness, aka, Odette Mercy. We will be taking a team to Thailand in June to shoot a clip for this track and in doing so hopefully we  can shed some light on the situation, even if it’s only enough for a few to see. As it stands, I think any awareness about this issue is a good thing.

More info soon….

peace
