We have done it again! Yet another video is up on YouTube with a song by me and Maria. It’s on it’s way to iTunes as I write this. The video features a lovely Brighton original – rollerblader Spendoody – and the gorgeous Brighton bandstand.

Maria McAteer slow release
I’m currently working on a slow release of singer Maria McAteer through singles on CD Baby. What I mean by slow release is that we will release the album one song at a time instead of putting it all out in one go. It all ties together with videos on YouTube as well. So far two songs have been released for purchase and three videos are up on YouTube.

Brighton sings Justin Bieber’s “Baby”!
Or rather, Brighton mimes to Maria McAteer’s voice and my piano playing. We felt it was time to do a cover and played around a bit with Justin Bieber’s song “Baby”. What we came up with is quite different from the original. So, what to do for a video. Well, we wet down to the Meeting Place and asked people passing by if they’d like to mime a phrase from the song. They were wonderful. All different sorts agreed to do it. 3 hours later we had the fifty lines and just needed to add them together and sync them to the track. A few more hours (the rest of the night actually) was spent pasting in and time stretching clips and we had something. It’s up on YouTube, have a look and a listen!

Review of Happy Land in DalaDemokraten
Another great review of Nybakat!s album Happy Land, this time in the Swedish paper DalaDemokraten. It’s in Swedish of course, but trust me, he says nice things….
Google translate make it look like this! You will find us under Freshly Baked!
Flamencophone on jazzradio.com
We got this mail:
To Nybakat:
We added one of your tracks to JAZZRADIO.com. “Flamencophone” is playing on our Straight-Ahead channel. Check it out at www.jazzradio.com.
So now I’ll have to listen to this station for hours just to hear my own song being played. Actually, I’m really pleased about this. This tune is dedicated to my flamenco dancing grandmother Barbro and even though I know she would say that it’s not really flamenco I’m sure she’d be really happy too.
Her Father’s Daughter
If you havent heard Maria McAteer’s band “Her Father’s Daughter” yet you’re in for a treat. It’s a tribute to her father, Trinidadian saxophonist/composer Al Timothy, mostly famous for writing Shirley Basseys mega hit “Kiss Me Honey Honey Kiss Me”. Maria discovered that she actually had some music manuscripts that he never published. We recorded them and we’ve also done gigs in Brighton with the band. The response has been amazing with the audience chanting along with his raunchy lyrics of “Don’t Touch Me Nylons!”.
