Further stockholders will be contacted inviting them to the secret performance, with six scheduled into be selected at the end of this week, as well as various other surprise appearances being lined up for those that have put money into the production of Wolf's forthcoming record, Battle. If you are yet to invest but desperate to be in with a chance of being at this intimate performance, get involved by clicking HERE and helping support Patrick.
Here's the note sent to the first set of fans selected to attend the gig by the lupine sensation, with a studio update with how the album - currently being recorded and mixed at London's infamous Abbey Road studio - is going, as well as generally important Bandstocks news in that international stocks are soon to be available:
Dearest bandstocks friends, financers and supporters
Well, the first part of my two part battle has been mixed and will be mastered at abbey road over the next couple of weeks thanks to the initial funding received via bandstocks. I wanted to invite as many bandstocks supporters as I could over to my studio here by the river in Bankside, London, to say thank you by way of a little no microphone acoustic show around my piano. But alas I am currently moving house and my home/"mattress in a recording studio" is in a state of chaos but I have found the next best option. A good friend of mine has a grand piano in his warehouse and as long as you don't mind sitting your bums down on a wooden floor this letter is an invitation for about 20-30 of you to come for a little free thank you from me. Please send requests for any of my old songs you want to hear via Bandstocks or myspace and I will try to remind myself of all the words and chords a few days before. I hardly ever get to do such intimate events these days so this is very exciting for me and i'll be able to introduce in person some of the new songs you are helping to fund the recording and release of.
We are still a long way from our target fund though, I set up a new company this week... "TribeWolfInterNational" which will enable international investors and supporters to join the battle tribe and get this goddam show on the road...
Rehearsals have already started for the forthcoming tours.. and its just so bloody thrilling to hear all the new beats out on a huge sound system... be prepared for a whole new show and a whole new patrick..
Now, must get back to the grindstone... Off to Cannes on Monday to represent
the U.K at MIDEM with a small showcase concert and hopefully get distribution and licensees for the album across the Globe... who knows what will happen..
I send great love and endless gratefulness for your belief in my creations.
