Wires

Dear Scrapes obsessed and Scrapes casually interested and everything in between,

We still don't have release dates for you...so just deal with it OK. There are some murmurings of evidence over here at the SOFT ABUSE web HQ. That's right there's even an image of the cover for the tape and digital versions there....that's right....feast your eyes.

Don't worry the mighty CONQUEST OF NOISE will let you all know what's happening with that vinyl version soon too.

NOW...

Also we have a gig coming up so don't be foolish and be there. You can find everything you could possibly ever want to know about it...and probably some stuff you don't want to know:

HERE

And if you're allergic to Facebook the details are over in the GIG section of this here blog website whateverthefuckitis.

ALSO...

The opening piece from THE SONGS OF BARON SAMEDI titled "Oblivion's Grip" has been premiered (along with some acoustic violin weirdness from Adam) on BBC Lancashire's "On the Wire" programme. You can listen to the entirety of the show

HERE

And if you just want to hear the Scrapes related stuff fast-forward to around the halfway mark. Thanks to Nick from the People's Republic of Australasia (a venue we infamously played on the roof of, attracting projectiles...a brick if I remember correctly... from the neighbours back in 2011/12) for airing the stuff and to Mr Barker for the kind words.

ALSO ALSO ALSO...

To celebrate the impending announcements and releases and just general excitement here at The Scrapes' Planet ADAM hath decided to basically give away his sizeable back catalogue of solo experiments...but there's a twist. So we'll explain.
