Arturo Bandini

Awoke full of ideas for new songs and keen to listen back to the previous nights recordings. Liked most of what I heard and am confident enough in the other stuff to know I can make them work. My favourite so far is 'The Sound Of Wichita', named after the record company who will put out Brave Captain records, it sounds like everything I wanted my previous band, The Boo Radleys, to sound like but I couldn't quite pluck it from the air.

Had an idea for a song about my parents-in-law who I love but because my French is crappy and their English non-existent I never get a chance to get to know them properly, toyed with the idea of writing it in French and, because my wife was out, searched for a translating site on the web, came across the Babel Fish, discovered h2g2 and spent the next few hours looking through this.

Recieved e-mail from Mike Watt (formerly of The Minutemen and fIREHOSE who recorded the song 'Brave Captain') who has agreed to do the sleevenotes for the first album. Result.
