rigsy is online

16:41 Rigsy says: paul?

16:41 Paul says: rigsy!

16:42 Rigsy says: thank the lord. facebook chat was melting my brain. right, 15 minutes of cutaways chat is GO! where are ya btw?

16:42 Paul says: I'm sitting in the house just back from a game of football. feelin' good!

16:43 Rigsy says: what would a team of paul mcivers be like?

16:43 Paul says: they'd be very selfish and no one would pass it so it wouldn't be much of a team. just 11 me's running forward

16:44 Rigsy says: sounds like a team of rigsy's

16:44 Paul says: i know:)

16:44 Rigsy says: if cutaways were a football team who would they be? ha ha

16:45 Paul says: I'd like to think we would have the grit and grace of a team like Chelsea. Capable of both dirt and beauty. or something!

16:46 Rigsy says: wouldn't mind a Heat style celeb interview but i guess we have to talk about THE MUSIC. ha

16:47 Paul says: Yeah, heat-style interviews would cost you at least £25

16:47 Rigsy says: right, last twelve months for cutaways, in a tweet

16:48 Paul says: recorded an album, played some kick-ass shows, wrote some new songs and have now found our true voice

16:48 Rigsy says: where was it?

16:49 Paul says: our true voice? it was there all along but we just complicated it a little bit in the excitement of writing our original songs! You can get carried away with creativity sometimes

16:51 Rigsy says: it took you long enough to find your voice, eh? but you've had a lot of fun along the way i guess

16:52 Paul says: yeah, it's always fun and by no means was it ever anything but. However, we now feel a lot more comfortable with what we're doing and the songs reflect that

16:52 Rigsy says: so where now? Second album is supposed to be tricky, but you seem nice and confident

16:54 Paul says: our second album is definitely going to be different but I think it'll be a lot more assured and hopefully one that will grab people's attention straight away and stay there. We're looking into options before the album release though. Taking our time

16:54 Rigsy says: the business side of things, eh? melt!

16:55 Paul says: aye, melt is the word! but i think we have to put more thought into our next step because it's important to do the right thing! i suppose every band is the same like!

16:56 Rigsy says: and most important of all, you got rid of the big cardboard magic birds you had onstage... what's gonna replace them?!

16:58 Paul says: who knows! we enjoyed having them and for a year we cared for them and carried them about and made them very minor stars. but they had to flee the nest. We'll maybe just do something different for each show or nothing at all! however the mood takes us! maybe we'll dress ryan in something ridiculous

16:58 Rigsy says: ha ha class. well thanks for the chat and thanks for the tune, on behalf of those reading... it's appreciated!

peas!

16:59 Paul says: no problem rigsy! nice chattin' with you and long may ATL rule the airwaves! it rocks my world.
