Melle and Dick are playing a new song Melle wrote that day: Girl on my shoulder. Its the first time they play that song, needs some work, but well; tell me what you think of this work in progress!

Guitar-Dick gave Melle a harmonium to play with. Please let us know: was this a good idea ?

Finally Smutfish is recording a new album at Hazelwood Studio Germany!!!! Release in autumn 2007.

Earlier this year Smutfish recorded a CD at Hazelwood Vinyl and Plastic in Germany I filmed their first experience with working with a producer. CD release autumn 2007

Melle's visit to record label hazelwood is getting a bit painfull. BUT: there is talent and these guys heard it. So there's still hope for Melle and Smutfish. Or not?

Featuring Melle as 'harmonica holder' Imagine all the multi tasking ;D - Guitar special knock Neil Young style, my hand was light red afterwards - Singing, got me the lyrics 10 minutes before from the internet, so this is the 2nd take we did - and finally first time ever that I played the harmonica with a song (thanks Melle*) Okay, that was fun, though I was very tired then.. Enjoy ;)

Waiting for part II of the Hazelwood adventure.... Here's a beautiful new song.
