So Paul, what’s that MySpace?
I checked the facebook page and searched MySpace and couldn’t find anything. It’s rather frustrating reading about this stuff and not being able to hear it. It’s almost like, what’s the point of the news. Like a news story about a two headed cat without an image of the cat. Most people reading aren’t in range of the gig :S Waaaah. /endwhine

I checked out some of the songs over at the Fitter Happier Tunes MySpace page. I really enjoyed them. I won’t be attending the gig - I live in Australia. But if I were there, I would. Sounds awesome. Keep it up. Beautiful interpretation.

I assure you it will be nothing like “Strung Out”. Our goal has always been to serve the music of Radiohead as best as we possibly can. I believe that it is hard to capture the many different tone qualities “timbre” that are in the music by using a string quartet. I think the arrangements on “Strung Out” are decent, but parts are lost because the tone quality is all…… strings…… Similarly, Christopher O’Riley does a beautiful job on solo piano but I still yearned to hear the parts separately using different instruments. The complexity of texture (parts) that Radiohead incorporates in their music is a big part of what we are after. This is the main idea behind our choice of instrumentation and style of arranging. I hope that our audience enjoys the performance as much as we have enjoyed arranging and performing Radiohead.

I hope this is better than the ‘Strung out’ crap.
