Here's a chance to get a free download of the brand new Simple Minds track "Stagefright".
Just register on the band's official website www.simpleminds.com and you can download a 6MB mp3 of the song. It's a bit compressed but this is the only way of getting hold of the song at the moment. Hopefully we will all get a chance to buy an uncompressed version on CD or as a FLAC format download.
The website also offers some other free downloads - including a wonderful update on "Mandela Day" - so is well worth a visit or two. Jim's diary is also there and is usually a good read whether you are a fan or not.
What's the song like? Infernally catchy. A little bit retro as the guitar sound is a total throwback to their early eurodisco classic "I Travel". The excellent female backing vocals should be much higher up in the mix as this would give it an awesome Heaven 17 "Temptation" vibe.
This will be great live. The "It's You!" hook is strong and audiences will love it.
Thank you Jim and Charlie for your generosity.
