VARIETY is the spice of life when it comes to Morso's lyrical content, for they sing about subjects ranging from getting lost in charity shops, to bathrooms.

The band, who have been influenced by Led Zeppelin, have been writing and recording lots of new material in a recording studio belonging to Stu, the band's drummer.

Morso, who have not played Worcester's Marr's Bar for six months, will be returning to the Pierpoint Street venue tonight .

"We'll be playing some new songs, lovingly crafted and lyrically sweet," says Nic, guitarist and vocalist.

"Some songs are about natural history re-runs on the BBC, others about the tottering, teetering state of the current climate, as well as the usual love won and love lost songs, although we try and attack these from a kooky angle."

Simon, the bass player, says the band are set to record some new CDs in the near future.

"The idea is that we are going to come out with three separate CDs of four songs," he says.

"Nic normally comes up with the majority of the lyrics.

"He also likes to go to record shops and find the rarest things he can, for instance he might pop up with some rare Tom Waits CD."

Simon from Stratford says he enjoys listening to "current stuff" such as Hot Hot Heat and he's also got into soul music.

"It's because my girlfriend is into soul music and I find it very catchy," he says.

"Some of the bass lines I have been using in the band have a bit more soul because we've decided to branch out a bit."

The band have recently been gigging solidly up and down the country.

"We played in Scarborough last week, supporting Malibu Stacey who feature members of Terrovision," says Nic.

"It was an excellent gig and a brilliant experience trundling up to Yorkshire in a packed out mini-bus.

"Unfortunately, when we arrived at our pre-booked hotel they had never heard of us.

"We ended up cramming 11 people into two bedrooms - very rock and roll."

Nic believes Morso are also interested in swapping gigs with other bands.

"We'll give you one, if you give us one, type thing," says Nic.

"I think gig-swapping with other bands could be the way to go.

"Over time we've scored some great gigs and contacts but find it hard to break into new areas. We can offer support slots to bands in venues that like us, and, in return, that band can organise support slots for us in their neck of the woods.

"It's quite common practice and a good idea."
