When I was young, the sound of my own heart beat, while I fell into sleep, was a comfort. As I drifted into a deeper sense, the regular rythmic pattern got louder and some how more sinister. I'm sure I heard footsteps, but however hard I tried, I never saw the face of the person walking my way in the dark. "Complicated" moves me in the same way. It is a lullaby for insomniac's. A nursery rhyme for those of us afraid of the dark. It walks on the edge of light and dark, sparkles with the morning sun's first light. But our shadows fall in shade, so we see no shape of how we are. The simplest of things are always complicated. Paul McLaney can mix a sun kissed beach, and the depths of a persons despair in equal amounts. He has 'the force'. You feel it, even though sometimes, you may not even know he's there. Un-assuming, sneek up on you, brilliance!!
Paul McLaney is one of the most talented singer / songwriter / guitarists I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I am very proud to count him as one of my friends. He was one of the first people I met on coming to New Zealand from England in 1991. He was only 17 at the time, but like all great aspiring performers he had a vision and sensibility beyond his age. He has worked hard to get where he is, (three self written / produced albums in less than 5 years in NZ! is no mean feat), but the exciting thing is, the story has only just begun. Gramsci should be world famous, but I know just being brilliant isnt enough. Paul Mclaney is precious. A star looking for a universe in which to shine. The fact that he hasn't departed for foreign shores to persue his dream is all credit to his belief in NZ music. Support him, for he trusts in you.
Wellington groovestars 'overjoy' need a female singer and male or female rapper to complete recordings on the duos forthcoming album 'punk haus'. "We're looking for a lady with big lungs" said Paul Seccombe, one half of the capital outfit. "We want an R&B house voice and somebody else to rhyme over a number of planned tracks", added Paul. The new recruits will also be invited to play live with overjoy when the duo start promoting the debut album next summer. Ring Paul on 027 4946 616 if you fit the bill.
