Chair by my Band

Today was spent working on art projects I've already recently written about on my Blurt blog, so I thought I'd pick one of my bands songs to write about instead. I'm in a few bands, but the main one right now is Edgeworth Band. The song is called Chair.
We're a two-piece from London, UK. I play guitar and sing, Emma Pugmire plays drums. She also did the drawings of chairs in the video above.
Emma and I have been friends since 2009, when she came to an exhibition my wife-at-the-time and I put on in our flat. Six years later I asked if she would play drums in my band. My band, at the time, was me. Emma had never played drums before. As far as I'm aware, she had never played any instrument before, but I had half a drum kit she could use, a snare, floor tom and sticks. She said yes so away we went.
Bass is me playing guitar through a pedal which drops the guitar down an octave so it sounds like a bass. We got a set of original songs together, played a few gigs round London then recorded a few albums which we've published on my Bandcamp. Most of my Bandcamp is clogged up with solo jazz improvisation albums I've been recording, as well as some similar sounding ones with Emma and Ron Throop @ronthroop. Emma, Ron and I constitute the art and music three-piece Black Ivory, which broadcasts a live podcast every week on Ron and my Substacks. Usually on Thursday's around 6 or 7 pm UK time. You can watch recordings of these podcasts on Ron's YouTube or the Black Ivory website. We usually talk for an hour or so, mostly about art.
If you scroll past all the jazz on my Bandcamp and look for "Edgeworth Band" you'll find our albums: Three studio albums and loads of home recorded ones. We also have hundreds of music videos on my YouTube channel, Jompiy.
Chair is from an album called Studious. I called it Studious because it's us in a studio: Studio-us. Thing is, I don't think it is now. In fact, I'm pretty sure Emma isn't playing on any of the Studious recordings. She is playing on all the other songs, I think, on the other two studio albums we've done, but until we did our second studio album I did the drums. We had a tight routine going. I'd play through the album recording rhythm guitar and vocals. Then put in the solos, then bass, then drums, then lunch, then mix and master in the afternoon. Album done in a day. It was even quicker when Emma was there for the other albums, as we recorded drums, guitar and vocals on the first run through. The studio's called Ranscombe and is in Chatham, Kent. The same studio Billy Childish uses, who I paint with on Mondays. Billy's recorded, I imagine, hundreds of albums there. It was from going with Billy when he was mixing one of his records that I found out about Ranscombe. If you're looking for a UK recording studio, check them out. Below is a video of us rehearsing Chair. I later painted the text “RON THROOP” on this T-shirt and announced to the crowd of a gig we played at the Beehive in Bromley-by-Bow that Ron is the best artist in the world. After the gig a woman came up to me and said "I'm guessing your name is Ron Throop".
