The album is here!

2009-10-23T03:09:00.000-07:00

After all the bluff and marketing and silly films, the actual physical album has arrived with us.

And it is beautiful.

I listened to it yesterday and got goose-bumps, which is not bad for a collection of songs I've had to listen to repeatedly for the best part of two years. I don't want to sound like some anti-capitalist peace-nik but, on one level, I don't care if we only shift a single copy - we've done it, it's perfect and that's all that really matters.

That said, there would little point in keeping it to ourselves so please, go to www.kobayashirock.com and buy a copy in whatever format floats your musical boat.

Finally.

It's done.

It's taken over a year to finish our first full album but now Minus is ready.

I don't even know if anyone reads this thing but it bears writing that it's been a very strange, long, frustrating and, ultimately, redeeming year. A cursory glance over the previous posts will show that we've been confused, bemused, uncertain and in a strange place for much of it.

At time of writing we are two days away from the first gig with our new drummer - Mark - and very much looking forward to the future, whatever that means. We're no longer doing "one gig a year" (which didn't quite pan out as planned anyway, to be honest) or disappearing to write new stuff. We're very much here and very much working hard to uphold the high standards we've always set for ourselves on record and on stage.

The LP is perfect and we've already started writing new stuff.

If you are reading this, stay with us, enjoy the new album and expect more this year.

RE-PLUGGED

2008-07-27T04:42:00.000-07:00

We have decided to play only one gig this year.

We wanted to do something special - less is more, quality not quantity.

We'll be paying for about an hour and a half in total - two sets divided between the acoustic Kobayashi and the delicately heavy sound you all know. Both will feature new material as well as old favorites to which we will be saying goodbye.

Come and help us shake off the past by embracing the future.

Advance tickets are available from Matt or Jon on 07941785195 or 07739012090

We are going away but staying in the same place

We will disappear but remain visible to the naked eye

We will take a break by working twice as hard

We will certainly return but you may not get to say goodbye

We are entering the chrysalis of fate as a bloated Earth-bound insect, entrusting ourselves to chance, that we may emerge a beautiful creature of flight

We are speaking in tongues because we possess no words - only ideas

Something miraculous will appear in this space

We deserve it

You deserve it

Have faith
