_ happy halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone...if you celebrate it that is. If not, have a happy 31st October...for whatever reason it may make you thoroughly happy.

Remember, I'm playing this Sunday at the Cross Kings - in Kings Cross. Well, not in the station, but very very near by.

_ neeew shooooes?

well no actually, but I do have some new gigs. Well, one confirmed gig and one maybe on the way..

I'll be playing at The Constitution in Camden, which by all accounts is a nice little pub by a river that hosts some great live music. It's on Friday 21st November and it would be great to see lots of people there, as ever. I'll let you know about the other gig once I know more. In the meantime I'll just admire the snow falling outside.


*edit*

I'm playing this Sunday (2nd November) at the Cross Kings in Kings Cross...within walking distance of the station. So, you could even pop over from France on the Eurostar, see me play for FREE and then get a train back to Europe. Or you could just get the Tube there and get in for free...

Did I mention it was free? It's free entry. Get there for 8pm!

_ 12 bar

Last night's gig at the 12 Bar Club on Denmark Street was good fun, thanks *you guys* for coming down =] I'll upload some videos from it later on. Got good feedback from the venue too, which I can use as part of my uni course. Now to get some more gigs...

I'll also be playing at the Undercroft open mic night next thursday, Westminster Uni. You knows it. It doesn't get cooler than this! Would be great to see some of my avid blog readers down there, like, my mum, and the cat.

_ new website

Yep that's right, a brand new design for www.williamecho.com. New features include: enhanced gallery, new links page and an all-new FILM section. I hope to keep you updated through YouTube as well in future, so check it out =] At the moment it's showing 'The Making of the New Album' - new videos will be added as I progress!

Any kinks in the website will be ironed out ASAP - but let me know if you find anything unusual...

_ new new new!

I've been writing lots this past week, getting inspiration from things going on around me and generally trying to progress with the folktronicarock sound. With several new songs in the pipeline I hope to get into the studios soon and start laying down some guide tracks. This will help me build up an arsenal of demo songs from which I can pick and choose the best for the album...I'll be getting input from the outside world too, to come up with the best damn sound since the sound of factory machinery cutting into that freshly baked bread.

Alsooo...I've been working on a new design. Now listen, I know, there have been more colour schemes and layouts for William Echo pages (MySpace, A&M, William Echo.com, etc) than there have top secret disks been lost by the government, BUT this is a good one, trust me (or I wouldn't even be writing about it here....you don't even know the HALF of it, the number of designs discarded into digital wasteland). It just the natural progression for someone with a deep interest for web design, typography and..general geekiness. To whet your voracious appetite, here be a little snapshot of things to come. Comments please, good and bad (although it did take God knows how many hours, so be kind)

Yours truly, the digital one with square eyes
