[Gary Numan] // gareth added to live band
Just a quick update here. I was asked a few weeks ago to step in and play keys for the amazing, electronic music legend that is Gary Numan. Amazing opportunity and one I just had to take. Well, 16 days later, after 16, 16 hour days, 6 days programming, 7 days rehearsing and 3 shows, mission has been accomplished and I am happy bathing in post show glory. We rocked ass!!!
[WANT] // remix and video released
Hi everyone,
I am proud to announce the release of a special remix and video for “Want”, taken from the “Postcards From Berlin” album. The remix is an “electro dubstep” mix which is something deliberately different for [debut]. I wanted to spice things up a touch and also simplify them, so for this mix I allowed myself just one day (instead of the usual one month!) and also I limited myself to using just one synthesizer. I’d been chatting with my friend and electronic music pioneer, Gary Numan about synths and he was raving about the old Oberheim ones so I thought I’d give it a whirl. I used just an Oberheim SEM V on this track along with a simple drum machine and the original vocals (by the fantastic Cyd St Claire) and strings that were originally recorded in Berlin. 
The video was actually filmed in my house in LA. I was very fortunate to get a great Vanity Fair photographer and videographer, Moses Berkson, to capture my vision. Trisha Kay was the model and stepped up admirably to make it “sizzle” as you will see when you watch it!! The film was originally shot for live show projections but this one was so hot that I had to release it for everyone to see who couldn’t make it to the launch party in May.
You can download the remix for FREE at http://widget-platform.fanbridge.com/widget/render/24457

More news as it happens.

[Upcoming Plans]
It’s been about 6 weeks since the album launch party and I have to admit that I’ve done practically nothing in that time. I had not realized just how exhausted I’d become from prepping everything for that show. The days were long, the jobs many and energy only temporarily high due to the caffeine and adrenalin rush I was on. So once the show was done I simply crashed. Happy but knackered!! It’s only been in the last week or so that I’ve started come back to life and to put some plans together for the rest of 2015. These are open to change but include a few things that I think you will find really exciting….
Firstly, I will release “Come Around” as a single (whatever that means these days) with a video (taken from the live show projections) around Aug 1st. I’m also working on a dubstep remix of “Want” which is sounding pretty awesome and I will also post that as a freebie sometime in July again with the live show projections serving as its video. There’s also plans afoot to release a BRAND NEW track and video sometime while the summer days are warm. Big idea. Much planning required. A “definite possibility ” :)
In September/ October, the idea is to play quite a few west coast live shows once my multi-instrumentalist (Bryan Stage) returns from his european adventure……. San Diego, Orange County, LA (Viper Room), Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, San Fran and perhaps an Arizona show (I owe your girls David Davidson!!!) More on these dates as plans develop. If any of you have ideas for the perfect venue near you then please let me know.
So stay tuned, we’ve still ….. only just begun

[Live Show Photos]
We had an incredible live show and album launch party at Complex Club in Glendale, Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago. It was so rewarding to bring everything together for one special night. Genius photographer Tomo Muscionico captured the show in glorious black and white images that can be found here on the [debut] photos page in the “live” section. https://www.debutsounds.com/photos/live/
“Here Tonight” // the audience participation was incredible
The plan is to now refine the set and show in order to tour the west coast in September. After that we hope to get a support slot on a nationwide US tour with hopefully a european leg to follow in the fall. you of course will be the first to know all about here at debut sounds.com

[5 days to live show]
Gorgeous [disciples] ….
Just 5 days until the live show and launch party for the album, at Complex Club in Los Angeles. I’ve been crazy busy prepping the show, rehearsing, editing the films, promoting the event and I’m super excited as it’s all come together and going to be great. Please join me there! http://www.flavorus.com/event/debut-LIVE-in-concert/285040
I wanted to share with you a teaser clip from the new film just completed for “Come Around”. It’s part of a series of 9 films featuring me and the delicious Miss Trisha Kay, one film for every song on the album. Enjoy. Gx
[14 days]
Hello Gorgeous [disciples]
This past month has been a blur of non-stop activity as we prepare for the “Postcards From Berlin” album launch party and live show on May 2nd. Between programming the backing tracks and rehearsing the new band, I’ve also written, directed and produced 9 new short films, one for each song, to use as projections during the show. Each features myself and the delicious Trisha Kay as we evoke the emotions and sentiments of each particular track. I think its going to add a whole new layer to the show and I’m eve thinking of releasing it as a “video album” called “Passion”. We will see. The band is awesome, featuring Bryan Stage and Justin Paul of mysatellite and a new guest vocalist in Sabrina Chang.
Anyway, I’m thrilled to be playing at the awesome Complex club in Glendale as that’s where we did the IAMX residency last fall and had a blast doing so. John, Mike and the whole staff are true music lovers and have built a superb venue, recently rated as LA’s #1 underground club.
So I hope to see you there. get your tickets now at http://www.flavorus.com/event/debut-LIVE-in-concert/285040
Just 14 days to go …. yikes!!!
Peace, love & mischief
