Number Five - Number Five! Number Five - Number Five!

Brilleaux have been in the studio since about June, recording our fifth album (as yet untitled)

We have been recording at Tim Julians "Colourfield" studio in Welcome Bay, Tauranga.

As you may be aware, Tim is the Keyboard player that appeared on our "LIVE" at the colosseum album, and who appears live with us at various festivals on occasion.

At the time of this entry, the album is 80% complete, just waiting on the harmonica, some horn lines, and one vocal track, not to mention the mix-down and the artwork.

The album features 12 songs - a couple of which appeared on the "LIVE" album before they made it to the studio album! - Howling Wolf, PHd in Stupidity, and Son Of A Bitch.

Other tracks include:
Angry Young Man, She's a Tees (the spelling is correct! - it was my mothers maiden name!) I Love Girls, I Just Want To Make Love To You, Live With Me, Seven Shades Of Surprised, It Wasn't Me, I Wonder Why I Can't Get No Sleep and This Aint Rock-n Roll.

The guest list has been kept to a minimum, and features a small impromptu Gospel Choir, Sonja Bullot (Kokomo) on Trumpet, Demian Forlong on Trombone, Chris - the Sax player from Shaken Not Stirred, and Tim Julian on Keyboards.

It is a no-holds-barred studio album along the lines of Eight-Track Style with all the bells and whistles, not to mention foot-stomping, hand clapping and bovver-boy "Oi" chorus! except the songs are much more "Rootsy" or Rock and Roll than the previous, more contemporary studio album.

With a bit of luck we would like to get this album out before Easter, so here's hoping.
