"A whole generation has gone by, since the last time we were together. So much has happened, so many years. So much pain, holding back the tears"

Finally, I settled down, removed all the strife. Now at last, I'm happy. I got myself a life, got myself a life"

"Thanks to You", 

is a song I wrote and recorded approx three years ago. It was one of the first songs I uploaded on what was then, a pretty osbcure  Australian site called Whotune.

It was downloaded and paid for within a few hours by a lovely lady. that I shall always be grateful to. For if she had'nt liked and bought, I might not have been encouraged to carry on writing.

Other news....

After languishing at around #40 in the ReverbNation charts, I appear to have risen to a much loftier #3 this morning. It's quite exciting really and it's all down to your guys, Liking, Playing, downloading, Becoming a fan, etc, etc.

TIME MACHINE by Steve Christopher

Time machine...  Something from different time layers/dimentions.   I'm proud of the riff in this, it seems not everyone can play it.  It came about when I was jamming with Pete Parr (Bass) last year. He added a bassline and before we knew it we had the idea down and sorted.   The lyrics came a few days later and with little effort as most good songs do, so it's got a good pedigree.

Oddly enough, I link this with W.Q.A (What questions answered) which although not as heavy, is riff
generated..  

Album = "Partay on til Dawn" due Mid 2012.

The "Steve Christopher" band is all but formed with the line up as follows: .

Pete Parr - Bass guitar / Backing Vocals / Musical directer/Engineer

Neville Price - Drums / laughs

Andy B, (Bierschenk) - Lead/Rythm Guitar / beer.

Silvia McKewen, - Lead / Backing Vocals / General organiser (We do as she says)

Dawn Gracie - Guest backing vocals / photographer / Bloody good mate

Steve Christopher - Song writer / Guitar / Lead / Backing Vocals / Dreamer

Chris ? - Keyboards ?

Steve Ace MegaRex - Management / Amazingly pro-active, Lovely guy

We are currently really close to finalising details for the very first Gig later this year. It'll be local to West Sussex but who knows what might follow.
There are a few people that have been really helpful and supportive that live a few miles from here so if we can get up to you guys we will do. You know who you are.

I thank you for taking the time and trouble to read this blog and there will be quite a few more to keep you updated.

Gloom for 2012?. No way!

I sincerely hope that the harbingers of gloom are wrong about 2012. There are some, utilising different dates and for varying reasons, that say the end is Nigh. Well for me, I'm thinking it's the beginning.


March / April is the Chosen target for release of Album number 2. Which, as I've briefly outlined, is far and away some of the best stuff I've written. All the songs, ARE songs. I've invited a number of guest vocalists to help out and I'm humbled and amazed at how many musicians have pledged their all to the project.

Before all the tracks are completed and named a chosen few of the tracks will be PRE-RELEASE uploaded to iTunes etc.

There will be opportunities to win free C.D's, which will be autographed by ALL the performers.

Plus, Choices of Artwork for the album will be periodically displayed on Ace Megarex and Steve Christopher Facebook pages and and you'll be asked to vote for your favourite.

Now for news of Live performances.

For the first time in many years, my original music will be publically aired. Never before will these songs have been played live. I can tell you that I will be more nervous than you can possibly imagine. I've played in many bands, some original but not my songs, some covers but only one previous band was I mainly responsible for the writing. Lorelei, which based in Berkshire boasted some success during the 80's.  One of the other guitarists of Lorelei (Longest serving member apart from me) Andy Bierschenk has come out of retirement to supply the harmony guitar parts that feature in many of my songs. This is where the excitement begins. I can't wait.

New of other sections of the band will be released as the weeks go by. I could tell you who the bass player is and the percussionist (Drummer) is but I'll save that for the next posting.

Finally, I will just say, without You, None of this would be happening. You guys have supported me so much and with all my heart I hope I don't let you down.
