We’ve been having great fun at CW HQ the last month or so, rehearsing and devising a whole stack of bespoke new music to accompany a specially edited version of our favourite bedtime treat, Weir’s Way. We’ve been working hard with our lovely talented new friend WOUNDED KNEE with whom we will perform this one-off live score.

Church Kittens + Tiago

Posted on Wed 3 Mar 10

Our great pal and musical accomplice Tiago has not only helped us immeasurably by playing bass and giving us musical guidance when we were slipping, but also, with the help of his lovely Julia (behind the camera) filmed and uploaded some songs from The Kittens gig at The Union Chapel at Christmas past.

Get Rich Slow

Posted on Tue 23 Feb 10

With our musical inverted pyramid scheme where your savings both spiritual and literal will give the impression of unravelling whilst, in fact, building into a fortress.

That’s right, new videos on the website precede the 2010 onslaught of music, poetry, pictures and play.

We have new artists coming up and ridiculous drunkkasts and collaborative works and…well, just stay where you are and we’ll fill you in when it all happens,

Thanks to Wee Shiny for remembering to bring a video camera to the show.

Getting Married?

Posted on Mon 23 Nov 09

If you like our band 7VWWVW, you may wonder where we’ve been these last few months? Well, the answer is, we’ve been cooped up commune style exploring the world of OPM (other people’s music) in pursuit of the perfect WEDDING BAND for the marriage of our beloved numberthree and his delightfully insane WAG Haveabananaxana.

Presenting EXLOVER!

You need to sneak a look at one of the mpegs (by clicking the recently taken photo above) in order to fully understand the level of musicality and depth of emotion involved in such a riotous commitment. It was virtually a BED-IN.

While you are there, dig the other playlists and pay particular attention to Fuck Art Rock by Javelin who mean BUSINESS!!!

Also now posted is the Illustration film/soundtrack project Remnants of Joona wot 7VWWVW was involved with earlier in the year…dim the lights for that!

Okay, more excitement in the world of 7VWWVW will follow…..ACOUSTIC GUITAR MAMMAL?!?!?!?

Church Kittens

Posted on Mon 23 Nov 09

So after a monstrously productive start to 2009, the poor wee Kittens got caught up in the real world again and remain half way through recording this darn record, to begin again in the opening stratches of 2010…seems winter is the season best suited to making Kittens songs sing…no surprises there!

In advance of this exciting fast moving new development, The Kittens will sing some of their songs live in one of their spiritual homes: London’s Union Chapel, on Sunday the 6th of December, as outlined HERE.

If you wish to be in attendance for this festive drippy drip, please click the ‘contact’ button on the front page of this here website and drop us a wee email, that way we can add your name to the £5 guest list for the event and you get in the door for HALF PRICE!!

Keep very warm.

Under Yer Radar

Posted on Mon 28 Sep 09

Despite dedicating the last 4 weeks in their entirety to learning cover versions of songs for which our teenage selves would hate us in order to play them to a crowd of whisky sodden wedding-go-ers at the wedding of the year, our very own numberthree marrying the righteous love of his life Xana Maclean – we, the 7VWWVW have somehow found ourselves included in The Scotsman’s UNDER THE RADAR online bloggy thingy.

That’s so nice and makes us feel loved, a love like ours is love that’s hard to find. How could we let it slip away-ay? Have a wee read if you have a wee mo.

On his return to the real world, our numberthree will be quickly roped in and secreted in the lab so we can shuffle our fingers across a whole new set of combined notes, pursuing our second album which should be getting recorded in the year twentyten.

Our aim…to keep it more gully than Jonathan Livingstone?

FACT!

7VWWVW remix FOUND

Posted on Tue 26 May 09

Many moons ago the members of seminal hash band 7VWWVW were invited to remix a piece of music by fellow townsmen FOUND. On receiving the choice of tunes we realised we had no inclination to remix as we are instrumentalists and, if not AFRAID of computers, certainly reticent to apply them as creative tools for music. As such, we decided to deconstrust the music and re-assemble it using our own cognitive skills to fill in the blanks. The results astounded us and made us feel like ACHIEVERS! So it is with delight that we can now announce the tune is available via Scotland’s own download club tentracks.

You can find it here
