Saigon Kick guitarist Jason Bieler has released another new song via his Owl Stretching side-project. He has posted the following update:
Hope this Friday finds you filled with joyous wonder anticipating an adventure soaked weekend. New music straight from the Baron Von Bielski audio propulsion lab in Helsinki a song called 'A Girl Named Hollow'. Hope you enjoy it. As always thanks for all the continued support! Plus I have a new FB fan page up at this location should you feel like wandering over."
Earlier this year, Bieler released another new song via his Owl Stretching side-project back in January He posted the track along with the following update:
"So strange that I wrote and recorded this song on Friday (January 8th) and did this Bowie 'Fame' vocal nod that I was going to take out just because it was, well, a rip, but now I will leave it in as a small nod to the genius."
Saigon Kick recorded a cover of the David Bowie classic 'Space Oddity' for their Water album in 1993 featuring Bieler on lead vocals (check it out below). Bieler checked in with a tribute to Bowie, who passed away at 69 on January 10th following an 18 month battle with cancer.
"Getting a message that David Bowie thought a cover you did 'was really good' was a massive career highlight, even if he was just being kind. Knowing that in some microscopic way we briefly crossed paths is like saying you shared a cup of coffee with Dali or rode the train with John Lennon, irrelevant in their worlds but life changing in yours. I had no idea he was that ill when I posted about him on Friday (January 8th). I spent the entire weekend listening to the Blackstar album over and over, talking with my daughter about how amazing it is to be that current, cutting edge and relevant for so long... as he is on her playlists as much as mine. Music and life done right…well done Mr. Bowie."
