Yeah, yeah we like it
Yeah, yeah we like itâŠ

You cannot underestimate the monumental experience of working with one of your musical heroes - and I mean writing songs with one of the greatest pop songwriters of the 20th century.
It remains one of the most fantastic musical experiences of my life. Thanks to XTC producer  Steve Lillywhite for helping to facilitate this!

Steve Conte on songwriting (ft XTCâs Andy Partridge):
"As Steve releases his Fourth of July single, the guitarist and singer talks about writing songs with his XTC hero, joining the New York Dolls and playing on stage with Chuck Berry. He also gives tantalising pointers to his forthcoming album of co-writes with Andy Partridge."
Mark Fischer Andy Partridge XTC Fan Appreciation Society XTC

ââI think more like a jazz musician who doesnât like to repeat himself, say, sing or play the same thing every nightâŠor make the same sounding records over & over again. A lot of bands find a formula and stick with it, which I find boring. I need to do different styles or else I lose interest. Itâs one of the curses that come along with the blessing of being a good musician.ââ:
An interview with the hyperactive Steve Conte!

In case ya missed it- I play & sing my new single "Fourth Of July" in the Wicked Cool Records office in NYC - solo acoustic. This is what I sound like LIVE - no editing, no autotune, no punching-in, etc. Come see a live show sometime to see for yourself. I don't do acrobatics - just music, vocals, songs I have written & story telling.
