(Make It
Better Later)
Make It Better Later were formed in November 2005,
the first thing they did was book a gig two weeks
later.
This caused a panic and so a set's worth of songs
were hastily written and rehearsed, before MIBL’s
sound was unleashed on an unsuspected small crowd
in the Ringside in Hull. From there the band didn’t
stop working, gigs we’re booked across the
north of the country in Manchester, Leeds and many
other places (including, of course, their home town
of York).
A month after forming (yes, two weeks after the
first gig!) MIBL recorded their first EP Coaster.
The whole process took two days, from the first
note to the final master being burnt onto CD. The
band has always had a strong DIY ethic and so spent
time burning CDs and copying artwork themselves
and securing a digital distribution deal for Coaster
via iTunes.
When recording Coaster, some synth violin was added
to the infamous Pirate Song and due to the popularity
of the song live, the band decided to recruit a
violin player to recreate the sound. Rosie was drafted
in for a few gigs but unfortunately had degree commitments
to attend to and so recommended Amy as a replacement.
Immediately the band gained musical credibility
as Amy (a ‘proper musician’) joined
them. From there the violin started to become an
integral part of the foursome’s song writing
and live sound.
In the Summer of 2006 MIBL set out on their first
self organised and booked UK tour with friends Masenko,
before bunkering down into a proper recording studio
to record their debut album. The album was recorded
and produced by the band themselves, although this
time much care and effort was spent on the process,
to produce a sound a thousand times better than
the first EP.
This brings us up to the present day, the album
has been mastered and some people have heard it
already, the first single will be released in March
2007 on the band’s own label and via iTunes,
so stay tuned…
