Spencer McGarry Season is a project by songwriter Spencer McGarry to record and perform 6 albums in 6 different styles. The project was borne from both a wealth of material and indecision over what musical direction to take. Spencer decided to present his songs in the familiar format of a television series/DVD box set with albums titled ''Episode(s) 1-6'', which he believed would surmount the problem of many disparate ideas. ==''Episode 1'' Era== The first album grouped Spencer’s simpler songs that took influence from a basic rock palette using only drums, bass and guitar and elementary arrangements. In late 2005, Spencer formed a 3-piece rock band composed of drummer Avvon Chambers (who he had met in a previous band The Room Orchestra) and Stephen Black (aka Sweet Baboo) who he had met through the band JT Mouse. They self released a single (Leader of the Chain Gang) in May 2006 which led to the group playing the BBC’s inaugural Electric Proms later that year and collaborating with the BBC’s concert orchestral on new music (which would be used as rough recordings for Episode 2).〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/electricproms/2006/nextstage/spencermcgarry/〕 In 2007 the band appeared on the compilation ‘This Town Ain’t Big Enough For The 22 Of Us’ (Twisted By Design) which also featured Los Campesinos! and Sweet Baboo. Earlier that year Spencer, Stephen Black and friends formed the label Businessman Records, with the initial limited edition release of the vinyl-only A Title Sparks Would Have Used single in September. The band spent the next year touring and recording, producing a free download-only single A Paler Shade of Wit the following September, compared favourably by The Guardian to “…Television covering ‘Like a Virgin’”.〔http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/sep/02/singles.club〕 The self-produced début album Episode 1 was released through Businessman Records at the end of 2008, with a national release in early 2009 along with the single "The Heat Was Hot".〔http://vimeo.com/872952〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spencer McGarry Season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
