Lemonade Man

We have a new song and it's called LEMONADE MAN. The song was originally started in 2005 as a reggae song with melodica, but in true Grape Diggers fashion it was left untouched for years. Flash forward to the present day and we start jamming a silly little Jamaican sounding song that has the exact same chords - put the two together and a cool glass of Lemonade Man is ready for the drinking. This song sets two records for us, one as the grape diggers song with the most collaborators on it (5) and the second being the longest a partially recorded song has ever been left before being finished.

Finbar - Melodica, Lead Guitar
Firth - Guitar, Vocals, Bass, Synth
Crust - Vocals
Callum - Djembe
Warren - Steel Drum

The Insurance Band EP

Back in 2004 we made an EP called "The Insurance Band", 3 and a half years later, it is here to download on last.fm. Please enjoy it. It's a bit of a fuzzy mess, with some melodic bits and some silly bits. That bloke at a computer was the original cover which I either forgot about or just decided was crap. The entire album can be downloaded on last.fm

Audio Jam #1

Audio Jam #1. (30 Minutes)It's a brand new Jam here recorded on the 12th June 2007. No visuals here, but much better sound quality than before. It's also our first recorded Jam with Callum Whitelegs on JEMBE. This session differs quite a bit from the others because, rather than play through a bunch of songs that we've practiced to a certain degree of tightness, we just let it flow and got lost in them letting things get a bit experimental and post-rockish.

Tracklistable: (sort of) Travelling Mind, Cock Fest, Sleepy Song, Magical Announcer, Instrumental, Square Moon with bits of a Cyber-Craig type song scattered about.
