Funny old world, innit.

Only yesterday, I was talking about the lack of input from Hand & Face Records on here recently, and then today I get some exciting news. At the start of the month, I emailed founder and musician of AceKing, Peter Hill. Peg, as he is known, is the bassist for welsh band, Marshal Plan, but he had projects of his own.

AceKing was one of those projects, and although the demos he came up with were really lo-fi - which in itself had a quality of its own - there was definately something striking in the design of the band.

Today, Pete confirmed that he would like AceKing to become part of the Hand & Face family and I’ll be working closely with him to bring his catalogue up-to-date over the next few months. It was also encouraging to hear news of more music possibly making its way from the AceKing corner over the summer. The band has not been working actively since early 2007, so it was really exciting to recieve news of more music coming your way later on this year.

You can view AceKing’s myspace page and listen to some demos here, and we’ll bring you more news and links as we have them. No post tomorrow probably. At least, not until early sunday morning due to an all-day work schedule. But speak soon, yeh?
