this was in the NME.. I recall Katrina mentioning this. Lucky bastards. i would have liked to have been there. (wouldn't we all?) BELLE & SEBASTIAN held a party in their studio this week to add special 'atmosphere' to their forthcoming album, which is due out early next year. A B&S spokeswoman said the band wanted the sounds of a 'get-together' on one of their tracks so they just decided to hold a party and record it. She continued: "They ended up having more than 100 of their friends crammed into the studio having a whale of a time." The album, which is as-yet untitled, will be the band's fourth and the follow-up to last year's 'The Boy With The Arab Strap'. It is being recorded at Ca Va studios in Glasgow. They are now due to finish recording the album in October, with a release expected in January next year. Meanwhile, Belle & Sebastian singer Isobel Campbell has confirmed that she will start work on a new Gentle Waves album once the new Belle & Sebastian LP is completed. ahh.. dave (moon man) +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the reborn Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
