Charlie Abel[2]
In 2006 I recorded 2 albums with Mayo Thomson’s ‘Red Krayola’ an Avaunt guard American popular music band from Houston, Texas. We recorded the albums in my house in Edinburgh and then John McEntire, a famous US producer and also the drummer with Red Krayola, edited them in a studio in Chicago and made them better, adding other musicians.. In October 2007 we spent 2 weeks touring Japan which was a great success and a fantastic experience. I sadly missed out on the USA leg of the tour due to Visa restrictions on musicians.
Mayo and I also recorded music to an American artists film. He was a famous guy who dressed up as a baby. The film was about studying at University and cramming your head full of facts. Very interesting, strange and arty film it was. I had never been exposed to the avant-garde.
