The Pretty Goodbyes have recorded. by seanoneill

The Pretty Goodbyes have recorded.

Those of you who follow me will know that my eldest son Sam is in a band called the Pretty Goodbyes.

They have spent the last four days recording their first EP.

The track list will be.

Green light district.
Dirty hands.dirty minds.
It's not cheating if you don't get caught.

Here they are today, Sam, Jacob, George and Spike. Anyone else think Sam is a dead ringer for Stewart Copeland from The Police?

Thanks to the boys for allowing me access to the studio. I am sure a middle aged guy hanging round for an hour was not cool, even if he did pay for a McDonalds for lunch!!
Really good shot, very edgy. Good luck to the boys in the band!

@soboy5 Cheers Danny, not easy today, I am glad that one or two worked out. I'd never been to the studio, so it was difficult finding somewhere to get them!!

Thats just amazing, good for them! Definately uncool having dad hanging around!!! Great image, is this their album (or whatever you call it these days) cover? Pretty cool shot Dad!!

how cool!

@fannyb Well, much as I would like it to be, they probably think it is uncool to have themselves on the cover. I am trying to get shots of them so that they have a bit of an archive. Maybe they will thank me when they are rich and famous! Oh, and thanks too!

Great photo, love the pov and the crisp b & w, gives attitude to the shot! Am sure you are very proud and I bet they didn't mind you there really, doing a studio shoot!

@jackie8 I am so proud I could burst Jackie. I'm glad you like it. Sam does too!
July 27th, 2012  
Nice one! Maybe they will be famous some day and you can say you worked with them!!

@kwind They can pay me back all the money I think they will owe me by the time they are!!! Thanks.
July 27th, 2012  
Congrats!!! Can't you put a link on youtube or their website to listen to their music?
Love that shot: pov, processus and b&w!! Great job :)
July 27th, 2012

@svt @lauralatham @shannew @shamrockinmom Thank you all, I am putting Sam under some pressure to get me a link to something for folks to listen to. Shanne, I am so proud of my kids in so many ways. Where is your daughter?
July 27th, 2012  
Rather exciting for them & you too ...will watch for that name though I don't think my era will be in their sights somehow! Good luck to the boys & may they be famous one day so that you can live in the way you deserve!!!

@shannew That is close! We're between Nottingham and Loughborough. Look us up when you're up with your camera.

Great shot, they're so cool, great attitude.

Complimenti!

Great photo, MacDonalds will get you in every time with teenagers!
July 28th, 2012  
Fantastic! Well done fellas! And well done Sam's Dad for such a great pic! :) Geez, he really does look like a young Stewart Copeland. Wishing them the best of success.
July 28th, 2012  
Good luck with the band! You never know, this might be a very important photo someday :-)
July 28th, 2012  
So very rock and roll! And yes - I totally see the resemblance - fab shot Sean!!
July 28th, 2012  
Love the shot... how awesome they've recorded! This will be a shot like those "early Beatles" ones that pop up from time to time. You should get onto Ian "Molly" Meldrum now! (not sure you know who he is... music guru of Australia).
July 28th, 2012  
Cool give them a congrats from me. I love it when guys have a good sound and put their attention towards music.
July 29th, 2012  
Great shot of them, one for when they are famous!
