After a year of touring and the release of their ‘Travelled and Unravelled’ EP, Graham and co. returned to the studio in July 2008 to record a follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut album Soundtrack To The Daily Grind.
Triple Distilled was recorded at Ranscombe Studio in Rochester, Kent and was released by Damaged Goods Records in October 2008.
It features 12 blistering tracks with fairly autobiographical lyrics telling tales of their life on the road, drinking and smoking. As usual they are the amalgamation of Graham’s tuneful and aggressive songs, driven with an energy and attitude, which has been perfectly captured in a simple no-frills studio recording.
Buzz Hagstrom couldn’t make the recording so Johnny Barker (Ex of The Buff Medways) stepped in on bass. He also joined the band on the road around the album’s release for a European tour and a headline show at the London’s 100 CLUB on October 29th 2008. As on their debut album Dan Elektro from the great US band The Woggles is on drums.
A single ‘Begging You’ was released shortly before the album, backed with an exclusive b-side called ’Sitar Spangled Banner’.
Triple Distilled has become a firm fan favourite. The original black vinyl LP sold out pretty quick but we’ve since reissued it on white vinyl LP. The CD version is long gone – Discogs your best bet for that!
GRAHAM DAY was a founder member of The Prisoners, Prime Movers & The Solar Flares as well as drummer in The Mighty Caesers and bassist in The Buff Medways alongside his old friend Billy Childish.
