This is the zip file
i_killed_the_dog_EP.zip
This is the fruit of work spread out over 2005 and 2006 - my bands 5 track demo, showing what we do.
What we do is write slow and melancholy acoustic songs. We try to make them beautiful. The band is comprised of me on guitar and lead voice, and a girl on cello and back up voice. On the CD, in track 1,3+4 we are accompanied by a double bassist. In live situations, we have a larger band to the point where we are a 6 piece in "Lord Take Me Now" for the quiet hoe-down section at the end which becomes very loud and energetic live.
Well please take a listen, we hope you like it. Please share this music, put it up on the internet elsewhere just spread the word really if you like it.Reply to this just saying what you think you don't have to write a detailed critic :)
Thanks guys it's good to be back here, Joe.

Right click the link that says i_killed_the_dog.zip and click "save target as" and download it onto your computer that should do it :)
edit: Also I fixed the myspace link, and www.ikilledthedog.com does not exist just yet that will exist in about two weeks |

BTW, didn't you post this version of Hallelujah last year sometime? |

However, if you like that particular combination of instruments, there's a husband & wife team out of Colorado called Acoustic Eidolon that have had some success and might interest you. |

Location: London, England | Sorry to bump, but I figured I should just put this in this thread instead of making a new one.
We played our first gig on friday and it went really well. 50 people specifically came to see us and about 300 people came overall when they heard us (it was the back room of a classy bar)
I was quite nervous, as you might ascertain from my moody look in this photo 
but on the whole, we just had a wholelot of fun :p
