New sun


Mark,
thank you for your interest and willingness to ask about New Sun
What inspired your band and music?
When Doug Erickson and I founded what was to become New Sun in 1991, we both came from the school of odd metered Prog music. Such as King Crimson, Yes, and Rush. Doug was also into the improvisational aspect of people like Michael Brook and Robert Fripp. Chris came from a more accessible aspect with influences such as Blue Oyster Cult and Jethro Tull.
We founded our song writing upon the notion that is should challenge the players and the listeners and make them think a bit.
Chris 'Tru' Trujillo and Alex Kley brought in other elements based around odd metered rhythmical grooves and that changed our focus a bit. To groove and not play in 4/4 meter became a big part of our process.
We all believed in the notion of telling stories both musically and lyrically that were both complex and yet accessible by any listener. And we are not tied to anyone style to achieve that goal.
What are your aims?
To put out what we write, play live when we can and just create. It is something I personally cannot stop or live without. Whether it inspires or reaches listeners is not something we can control. We write music to challenge ourselves as writers and players first. And deliver a story as best we can with lyrics and music all as one touching an emotional nerve. Something we would enjoy listening to.
What plans do you have for the future?
Our 5th album “Transitory” will be released this summer and we plan on getting out and doing some shows on the West Coast of US. If it grows and connects, we’ll look to tour Europe in 2017.
CSC has been writing music for TV/Film for 15 years and would like to expand that as well.
You can find the first singles from that album Slipstream Day and Down By Sea averrable on our website www.new-sun.com
Cheers,
Christopher Scott Cooper

these  apple pip sized bloodsuckers come out at night to feed as attracted by body  heat and carbon dioxide.research advises using white or yellow sheets as bedbugs dislike being attracted to these colours as prefer red as it helps camouflage  their scarlet colouring and can also hide in black.

Gary Stephens
Gary Stephens I'm a Holsworthy born and bred boy and I'd love to ram each one of those parking signs up each of the retarded councillors backsides who thought it would be a brilliant idea to scare shoppers out of the square with the thought of a possible parking tic...See more
Nigel Johnson
Nigel Johnson No mini yellow lines are a cut back! They are saving money by using less paint! lol
Karen Osborne
Karen Osborne Looks like they don't want any people parking in the square. Which is so unfair to the shop owners who are struggling to keep there business .going .Looks like TDC or HTC are trying to get the Square pedestrians only. Launceston done this & there Square was deserted the other day when i was over there.
Lucie Cullen
Lucie Cullen Looking at the lines and signs I reached the conclusion that it would increase the revenue to the traffic enforcement department, whilst stopping people from the advantage of free parking to use the local shops. In an already struggling economy not the brightest of moves...
Josephine Foster No disabled parking on those special yellow lines and only 1 designated bay - with a 2 hour allowance! It doesn't encourage local shopping... PS what are the car Park charges now? Where Disabled have to pay too!

hi -de -hi and my little part in its history.

my part is very small and does not involve any acting but helping to put the small train that is in the credits in series at milky way in Devon with fellow volunteers and  local rail volunteers back in late 1980s-
Hi-de-Hi! was a BBC television sitcom shown on BBC1 from 1980 to 1988.
The location is Maplins, a fictional holiday camp, during 1959 through to the early 1960s. It was written by Jimmy Perry and David Croft, who also wrote Dad's Army and It Ain't Half Hot Mum amongst others. The title was the greeting the campers heard and in early episodes was written Hi de Hi. The series revolved around the lives of the camp's management and entertainers, most of them struggling actors or has-beens.wiki link
