When we started work on the new album, we set the brief of "Keep it Simple"
So for this song, Rob Walker has recorded seven lines of keyboards and Edward Grassby has recorded five lines of additional backing vocal
#Rhombus2020
#LoveIsTheAnswer
Oh fuck not this again...t'north's very own Steely Dan rides again 😂
Not going for the no-nonsense, balls-to-the-wall approach with this one then, Edward Grassby?
Album update:
Drums and bass are all recorded. Go rhythm section!!!!!
Ludwig Von Walker is creating strings, pianos and keyboard soundscapes the likes of which you wouldn't believe. They're taking these songs to another level.
We've got one song developing that will bring a tear to all but the sternest of eyes.
Something quite magical is coming together.
#rhombus2020
#loveistheanswer
Looking forward to hearing it! Still no medley of rock n’ roll ‘standards’ though Edward Grassby?
Can't wait!

Rhombus have played at this fantastic venue many, many times.
With your support we and many other fantastic bands will be able to do so again.AN OPEN LETTER TO YOU, THE CUSTOMERS ❤️ PLEASE READ. DONATE -https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/savetheparish
Hey everyone!
First of all thanks, thanking you for donating over 12k to keep the parish going! That’s frikkin amazing and makes us all feel very squishy inside. It really has been pretty eye opening and massively pleasing to see how much people love what we’ve done at the parish: we have always tried our best to be the best we can and the fact that you lot have confirmed we are on the right path makes us so happy. So thankkkkk you x
I just wanted to update you on how we are getting on, and just reaffirm how important this funder is to our survival. Enterprise inns (our landlord) are still charging us rent, full rent, whilst we have been forced to close. This amounts to more money than we can afford, more money than we can claim in government grants (which is £0), and more money than, in my opinion, they have the right to expect from us.
£25000 would cover this & keep us alive, if we can hit our target we will know, that we will likely survive (if this doesn’t go on for too long!) . We will do everything we can to pay you guys back, I can promise, cross my heart & hope to die, that everyone involved in what we do will be working towards making the parish the best thing it can ever be. And we will do it.
We are talking to everyone, we are leaving no crack unexplored in our efforts to make this work without your help, and if we succeed without your help, your help would still make a massive difference, it would allow us to carry out works we’ve been wanting to do for years. We will make it safe to have a wee, we will endeavour to remove the graffiti from the tables for more than 3 days, we will correct all the grammar from the graffiti, we will make our beer garden the land of all that is comfort and relaxation. Whatever happens, I want you to know that we are doing the best we can to keep Parish alive. We are biased, but we believe we are important to what comes from this.
Love, The Parish x

It's April 2020. The UK is in the middle of a government-imposed lockdown. That didn't stop the members of Rhombus having fun, being creative and taking the piss.
The band took a break from recording their new album to revisit a favourite from 2010 - Anywhere, The Lockdown Version.

#rhombus2020
#loveistheanswer
Brilliant! And even found one of the countries bog roll hoarders in the process! 😎
That was fun!
Nutcase brilliance
Hello everyone!
To brighten your day, the team in Rhombus Land has been very busy revisiting one of our most enduing songs from 2010 and revamping it for 2020. Anywhere recorded Anywhere
Keep strong, keep happy, look after each other and try not to spend too much time moaning about other people's behaviour!
Love is the answer.
Thanks to Maria Delg for putting the video together, Lee Talbot for mixing and The Backstreet Boys for the idea
This was amazing, thank you! Nice to finally hear Alixandrea on vocals too... I haven't been able to get to a gig since she joined!
Let’s hope the lock down ends before the album launch !!!
Love it , good place to stash the bog roll and pasta
This is so great! 😀
The best track i habe ever heared, my fave, thank you 👏👏👏🖤🤗💎
😍🥰
Great work, look forward to seeing again, somewhere, anywhere when this is all over 🙂
well thats fantastic....thank you one and all
Superb version! It's been far to long since my last Rhombus gig. I need to put that right.
YES!!!!! I LOVE IT!!
Just what I needed in these mad times!
It’s been awhile since I caught up.. ‘Never mind the penguins.....’! Love it.
Fantastic!
Fantastic!
Brilliant 😎
blinking heck rob!! you own the andrex company? lol
oooh gonna have a listen
It seems that you have a new band fellow?
Bit of flightcase archeology from a similar ancient period...
This evening in Rhombus Land, Ed and Eva are busy recording bass tracks for the album.
#rhombus2020
#loveistheanswer
Yes, great !!👏👏☻
❤️
So last year when we made our plan for the first half of 2020, deciding not to gig and to try and record our new album remotely sounded more than a little questionable.
Now in April, our plan of choice has become necessity. Leading us slightly smug to find ourselves in rhythm for once.
The timescale for releasing on July 4th still stands and we still hope to launch at Carpe Noctum.
The team around the band is now assembling (remotely) and we're actually quite excited about the album that is starting to take shape. It's going to be good, trust us.
Pre-order will be launching soon.
Lots of love to you and your's
#rhombus2020
#loveistheanswer
First time Andy's been in rhythm 😎
So you've unleashed a global pandemic just to make your album release schedule more feasible? Nice one, world's crying now 😒
Did wonder how it would affect your work on new album. Hope it's all over by then and the launch gig goes with a bang
Looking forward to hearing it.
Needs More Cow Bells
❤️
Plan for next week...
1. Repair
2. Re-string
3. Record some bass
#rhombus2020

with me not been musical i thought it was a bag of beef jerky at first glance and a radiator bleed key
Your missing 2 strings 🤷♂️
Nice poster. Nice event
Be nice if you'd join us!04-Jul-20 - Carpe Noctum: Rhombus, Siberia, and Rain Children
You know a Rhombus release is incoming when the RAG charts start appearing.
Though we suspect Lee Talbot produced this to show how much work he had done compared to the rest of us!!!!!
Oh gawd no...I remember a similar document with amendments in blood and technical feedback involving 'the sea, at night, between some cliffs' and other assorted horrors 😉
Summer is starting to look good!!!!Looking rather tasty don't you think? Who's coming for Tea then??
Last remaining early Tier 2 bird tickets, get them whilst you can.

Great, I've always wanted to see "More TBC" live ! (I'm outta here…)
More TBC, c'est le groupe du chanteur de TBC après le split, c'est ça ?
Last night we wrote the catchiest of catchy new songs.
It's one of those ones you'll either really love or hate.
Either way it's an earworm!!!!!
Thank you to everyone who joined us last night at The Dead-Week Spectacular at The Fulford Arms, for another classic night.
Fantastic audience, some of whom had travelled great distances and overcome broken arms to make the event.
Thank you to The Seventh Victim (Hood) for a cracking set and The Trendy Vicars (Christopher Sherrington and Chris Tuke) for hosting us once again.
Comeback of the decade belongs to Ian FTG for filling an Alix shaped hole admirably.
As announced last night, the new album is set to be launched at Carpe Noctum on July 4th.
We'll crack on with that. It's going to be big and bright. Thanks to everyone who was 'Out for Rhombus' in 2019. Here's to a fantastic 2020!

Thank you to Simon and the team, together with Auger for being good guys and a great support.

Lastly thanks to Laura Moore for this delightful photo of Rob Walker skipping! (Gary Quarmby, do your worst)

Rhombus are one of the finest Goth Rock bands to emerge from the North of England in many years. Mixing male and female vocals with swirling guitars, driving bass with powerful drums and electric violin, they combine some of the best elements of traditional 80s/90s UK Goth, with their own modern, up...Hi Guys, I'm attending the Norwich event all the way from London! I'm hoping your set list includes Anywhere and Mythos....please!!! Thank you. Looking forward to it! What time will you be on stage?
For once, we've not been idle in Rhombusland.
Songwriting is now progressing well. As of last night we have six songs pretty much done. Three have already been played live, the others have come together over the last month.
We've also got a sound-cloud account full of riffs, ditties and tunes from last year's "Slacker sessions" that Rob and Lee are going to start sifting through to determine the wheat from the chaff.
Fingers crossed the new album will be ready in 2020
(Pictured is Rob Walker making a few tweaks to a score in his lucky songwriting wig)
Knew it was Rob. The blue jeans were a dead giveaway. 😁
great news ! sorry we missed you last gigs was on holiday when one was on

Stephen Weebles Cuthbertson was in trap 5, but refused to open the door.
Bet Alixandrea had to hold her nose!🥴🥴
A couple of years back we released this limited edition shirt.
There was a fantastic take up, The shirts pretty much sold out, in fact, we only have two left.
Since then we've had numerous requests for this shirt (I wonder why?) except of course, from people who wear the size of the two shirts we have left.
So next month, we're going to order another batch. Pre-order this shirt now to ensure we get your size!

And because he's extra-specially lovely, he's happy for us to make it available free of charge for all you lovely people
Fantastic!!!!
Some brilliant snippets from last night's show at The Water Rats filmed by Cinzia Bacilieri.

Rhombus live in London.
It is alway a pleasure to watch this band performing live but this time the synergy between the musicians on stage and the audience (hail to the London crowd!), together with glorious lights and sound, made the show really special.

Holy jaysus. I didn't need to see that!

If I'm working in London then, I'll be there.
So last night Rhombus reconvened for our first rehearsal in a long time.
So long in fact Rob Walker was worried the internal battery on his effects unit may have run down.
Somebody locked Andy 'Brandy' Holmes in the toilet, however this crime is likely to remain unsolved as the police informed him that the list of suspects couldn't be narrowed down even to the people in the building.
We're gigging next Sunday, headlining 'Rockin Rotherham 6' at The Hive. Being a Sunday it's a very civilised affair which concludes at 8pm.
Reasons to attend
Rhombus are playing
So are our 'Great Mates' The Webb
It's free in
Reasons not to attend
Somebody let Andy out of the crapper.

PRESS RELEASE - Andy Holmes Agrees Guitar Endorsement.
Rhombus six string bluffer Andy Holmes has today agreed to endorse the new Encore Widow Maker VI, which is shaped like an assault rifle.
"Andy was our first choice!" said the noted budget range luthiers "It sounds like a massacre when he plays a normal shaped guitar, so this a logical next step"
When asked about possible negative connotations of endorsing a gun shaped guitar, Andy asked for clarification of what 'connotations' mean't before making a joke that offended even the unborn!
(Photo by Gary Quarmby)
The Black Clothes Matter movement are up in arms.
..... the whole band's shit in my miserable opinion ..... 😉
We are mean to him 😉
I need this guitar!... lol
Oh, we're going past Stockton on our way to the Rhombus / Momento Mori / Mausoleums - Noircastle - 24.11.18 gig, says Andy. We've got time to pick up a guitar, right...? 😹
Rehearsal is going exceptionally well! Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow at the Rhombus / Momento Mori / Mausoleums - Noircastle - 24.11.18!
That guitar guy at the back is losing more hair. He must be fucking ancient by now, no?

Rehearsal this evening, sorting out the set for Carpe Noctum: Rhombus, Gothzilla & The Black Riders Cult
Any requests????
King of Rome?
We tried that last night in Andy’s other band, my guitar amp was off for 3 songs and just had Andy playing. I think it was an improvement, but no-one will know just how good i was playing on those songs, i was playing a blinder 😂😂
You only want me when you’re drunk.
Requests??? How about switch Rob's guitar down and Andy's up. (that's a fiver Andy know owes me 🙂 )
i think Lee would love you to do Mother by Danzig......id like Almost Everything 🙂
Rehearsing last night, we started by playing one of the new songs which had sounded pretty good last week.
The first run sounded dreadful, we looked in the direction of Andy Holmes, for an explanation, who rattled off some excuse about his amp cutting in and out. Rob Walker questioned whether the problem was the performance, rather than the amp it was coming through. A claim rebutted swiftly by Mr Holmes.
Further examination by Lee Talbot found Andy was in fact note perfect, but had being playing the other new song.
So to misquote Eric Morcambe, Andy was playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right song!
You just can't get the guitarists these days 🤣
It's probably a little late to wish you all Happy New Year, but as always, we've been busy
We intend to be more active in 2018 than we were in 2017, though we did write a lot of new material, finishing it is the key!!!
Anyhow we did do a few stonkingly good shows last year, which is demonstrated in the video below (thanks Martin Aylward)
As you can see, Rhombus remain a brilliant live band (It's our trumpet and we're going to blow it) we'll prove it to you in Leeds on February 3rd
draggin the lad along with us on the 3rd all been well...:-)
You have a TRUMPET now?
Merry Christmas to everyone from all of us at Camp Rhombus
See you next year, when we promise we will release something! Honest!
Love is the answer
