My Neighbours

7 January 2010

We are lucky to have brilliant neighbours. The boys next door are some of the most talented and applied kids I ever met. Brothers Carl and Nader (14 and 12). As well as making stopmotion movies of socks coming alive, and playing basketball and cookery, they are in a band. So when I got my desk installed I asked them to come and record a demo one afternoon. They chose to record a cover of Molly’s Chambers by The Kings Of Leon. None of your Sex On Fire, no no no…

They brought their pal to play drums. He was very talented too, telling me the snare wasn’t sounding quite right, the seat wasn’t right, you know… a perfectionist. So I fixed the seat and took my lucky newspaper off the snare. He nodded approval. (“That snare is older than your dad weeman”)

Anyways I worked them hard but hey were so well rehearsed, we pretty much nailed it in very few takes. Check it peeps. MOLLYSCHAMBERSBYLCN

    14 and 12, they did a really good job. It shows that they rehearse. Did they seem nervous about recording this or were they just cool? FHreplied “Just cool”

  22. Debbie (deebee) says:

    Oh yeah, Fran, I forgot you sometimes have a go on bass. I remember when you did the switch with Dougie on Ring out the Bell! Must say though that for their age, the boys did a very professional job of this cover – all credit to them :-)
