Lie Ins: Michael (songs, guitars), Kid Lovebeach (drums, art) and F-Man (producer, 4-track, tape hiss). Lie Ins work schedule: 7.00: Exchange pleasantries, discuss new Karl Blau, set up 4-track and microphones. 7.30: Jam new song. 7.45: Commence recording drums. 8.15: Finish recording drums. 8:20: Lovebeach dispensed to shop to buy chocolate and tea. Michael is not allowed to do this because he just buys "culchie bars" like Star Bars and Wispas. 8:25: Commence recording acoustic guitar. 8:30: Lovebeach returns with rations. Fights ensue over peanut kit kat. 8:45: Second take of acoustic guitar because first one was balls, as a result of fight over chocolate. 9:00: F-Man happy with guitar sounds. Does bounce or some other technical wizardry (it's all very mysterious, secrets of the trade and all that). 9:05: Cigarettes for Lovebeach. Discussions about things like "gated reverb on snares." Anything to avoid the inevitable guitar overdubs. 9:10: Brian Eno's cards whipped out. Advice not taken as there is no cat in the studio, or any strychnine for that matter. 9:11: Commence recording guitar overdub. 9:20: Another bounce. (I guess.) F-man mentions that Paul McCartney always reserved one track for bass. There is no bass in Lie Ins. 9:25: Commence recording vocals. 9:35: Restart vocals, as Michael has been accidentally been singing a Billy Joel song. 9:45: Vocals finished. Slagging. Pack up gear. Eat last bit of chocolate. 10:00: Lock up.

The Walpurgis Family is the two piece chamber pop group comprised of Jeroen Saegeman (guitar, vocals, Belgium) and Wil McDermott (bass, keys, vocals, Ireland), recieving additional hands from Ruan Lovebeach (drums). The Dublin based Family plays lovely quiet songs about moving to other countries, the shower, the kitchen, public transportation and even about a mysterious island. Some of this stuff is even autobiographical!
