North American Tour confirmed!! Starts March 18 and is complete!

We have finally managed to confirm the last few dates. Sorry to Quebec, but we were unable to complete the shows in Montreal and Quebec in time, so have had to switch to Northern US dates. We will get back next time. All shows are now on sale. Posters and flyers will be available in a week or so. Please contact the MySpace site if you are interested in spreading the word and we will get materials to you.

The band are delighted to finally be able to tour HIGH in North America. See you in three weeks!

The album was recorded and mixed in south west London during March, April and May of this year. We are delighted to have finally got to make an entire album with our old friend Chris Kimsey who produced and mixed the whole project. Focused and guitar driven HIGH is set to be a classic among NMA recording and has been receiving great reviews all over the world. These are currently popping up on the Noticeboard and we will collate a selection once the album has been out a few weeks.

Chris and the band have tried to make at least three albums together during their respective long careers and did actually only manage to work together once - Chris produced the "Gimme Shelter" single that was recorded with Tom Jones in '94. Subsequently he asked to re-mix a track from "Carnival" - BD3, which became the lead track on the EP. It then became natural for Chris to work on the new album, with exceptional results as you will hear.

Interestingly, while mixing the album at Sphere Studios in Battersea, who should walk in but Glyn Johns, with whom we made The Ghost of Cain in 1987 and with whom Chris trained as a studio engineer and producer working on other classic albums such The Rolling Stones "Sticky Fingers". And they say the world is getting bigger.................

HIGH Live album?

We recorded the December shows and are currently listening back to see if there is enough to produce another live album as good, if not better, than "...& Nobody Else"

NMA Noticeboard

A brand new Noticeboard is now available for population. We are sorry, but so far we have been unable to recover messages and registration details from the old board. We are still trying, but didn't want to wait any longer. The link in the menu will take you there. Due to the problems created by the posting of large mp3s on the old board, attachments have been disabled on the new one. 

Many thanks to Joolz and all involved at www.joolz-denby.co.uk for the temporary home for the past few weeks. The new board is now running well and appears bug free (so far)

 

Köln Palladium 2006 WDR Broadcast

The Palladium show from last December was expertly filmed and recorded by WDR (German TV) and was broadcast for the first time on February 4th. It will be repeated later in the year. We are currently negotiating to make the whole show available on DVD via The Shop.

 

 

 

NEW MODEL ARMY Art & Artefacts Exhibition

The much acclaimed exhibition of NMA artwork, photos and memorabilia - most the work of inspirational artist and writer Joolz Denby - has now finished it's run in Salford, Manchester. Having previously been exhibited in Bradford and Hamm, Germany (Bradford's twin town) it will shortly be moving to a new location. Details will be posted here when we have them.

 Below are some images from the exhibitions time in Germany, but of course there is much, much more than this.
