CLIP CLOP CLUB NEWS 

Greetings all! Spring has sprung and The Clippers have a spring in their step because we’ve almost finished recording our next album and we’re loving it! 

After not recording for so long we were a bit wary of going to the studio. It’s never been a truly happy hunting ground for us. You know. We’re a live act. But we’ve had a ball! 

It may be an indictment on our past selves but this time when we recorded there were no drugs, no alcohol and no friends hanging round and boy did it make a difference. People were concentrating, they could listen to ideas and put them into practice really quickly. No-one said “Oops. Sorry” or “Aarghh! I’ve fucked it up again!” or “I just can’t get it!” Actually I said all of the above  but I don’t want to go into it. Let’s just say Rawhide won’t be on the record. 

We got Garrett Costigan to come in and play pedal steel on a few tracks. Boy is he good! 

We rerecorded some of the old favourites like Footscray and The Ute (at least the 5^th time in my life that I’ve put that song on a record but we’ve done a job on it so its almost a pop song now), some newies that you already know if you’ve been to the gig a few times and some that you’ve never heard before.  

Can’t wait to hear what you think. 

And now for today’s band joke…. 

Big Jim saved my life once when I was being beaten up outside a pub by a bunch of guys. He told the rest of the band “He’s had enough.”

 Cheers!
