Billy the Kid is busier than ever after an incredible year of non-stop touring in 2010 in support of her Raine Maida produced EP, The Lost Cause (available for free download here).
Billy is currently in a studio in Richmond, Virginia (Sound Of Music) recording her next batch of songs, along with the brilliant Long Arms as her backing band. And just two weeks ago she was in The Hive in Vancouver, BC working on even more songs. But that's not it. She'll be finishing up a final batch of new recordings in Toronto this March.
Three sessions, in three different studios, in three different cities, with three different vibes.
Nice.
Billy has committed herself to Give Back to her fans this year. Every song that's being recorded will be released as a free download! We'll be giving away new free music from Billy every couple of weeks, and once all of the tracks have been handed out... the final physical package will be released this coming Fall.
Hint hint: I hope you like vinyl. There's going to be an incredible double-vinyl version coming out, bundling all of her new 2011 recordings, in addition to The Lost Cause EP being one of the sides.
The recordings are far from being done yet. There's still more recording to be done, mixing, mastering, artwork, etc. And all of this means more money is needed to finish everything. This is a 100% DIY fan-funded album, any and all album pre-orders go directly towards the cost of producing the new music.
So if you're a fan and enjoy Billy's music, please take a quick moment and send her some love with an album pre-order. Your support means the world to Billy and us, and it keeps the music coming!
Check out the video below. Billy took a few moments out of her busy recording schedule to send everyone who's pre-ordered her upcoming new album a heartfelt thank-you.
