A Month on the Sofa

A month on the sofa
Watching every game
Willing England onward to
World cup fame

Argentina are you ready
Ready to lose?
The hand of God won't help you
We'll give you the blues

A crate of beer good company
Kicking every ball
We're out of pizza
So make another call

Brazil are hard to crack
Their a tough old time
But we are the hammer to
Shatter their dream

Bring on Germany
We're raring to go
And score another five goals?
Well you never know!

Vanden Plas News

David, Jon and Graheme have booked themselves into various West Sussex studios to blow the cobwebs off the old songs in preparations for a 2009 Spring CD release of their original live set.

Yew Tree Music plan to release the album the VP's never got round to finishing before. Its working title is «ON THE RISE» Bassist David tells me that the rehearsals are going very well "It's like we've never been away"

Graheme and David are busy writing and demoing songs for the follow up album and so far they have four completed demos between them for «TERMS AND CONDITIONS»

Vanden Plas split in 1996 but have now signed a deal with YEW TREE MUSIC. The deal includes new recordings of the original set and a new album.

I have been busy adding more videos from the 1992 show at the Portsmouth Pyramids. The tracks now available are :

  1. I Want to Stay
  2. Winter Sun
  3. Wheres Red
  4. I Want to Make Love to You
  5. On the Road
  6. Claire's Song




Graheme Wilson News

Graheme tells me that he is still working in the studio on his new CD which will be called Year of Return'. Our art department has been busy coming up with a selection of designs for approval. The track listing for the CD has not yet been finalised.

We have heard that three of the earlier EP cassette releases are being remastered and bonus tracks that are remixed and remade new versions of the originals songs are to be included to make full CD releases. David Wilson has already remixed and made a version of 'Sailway' which originally appeared on the 1989 release entitled 'Cartoon'.
