Wednesday, May 24, 2006Texas Radio Band - Live Date Confirmed
First and foremost, we can confirm Texas Radio Band will be appearing on Saturday 15th July in Cardiff, Clwb Ifor Bach - a homecoming gig, and back with more of the good stuff! Support is being arranged by the band. Other dates, before and after will be confirmed shortly - with more dates in August & September looking likely...
Genod Droog @ Chester, Telfords Warehouse
Went to see Genod Droog in Chester last Friday night, and was by far the best performance ive seen them play, and reminded me of the early Pep Le Pew gigs (OK, so a different music and line-up but followers will understand, im sure). Ed leading a large conga around Telfords kind of sums up the success of the gig! Even Dyl singing a track in place of Gwyneth Glyn was pulled off.
Losing Today Mag
Our friends over at Losing Today Indie Magazine have this week had some more good stuff to print about the label and our releases (thanks guys!);
"A copy of Gintis' "Supersoakers and Megadrives broke these li'l hearts" EP found it's way through our mailbox and onto our hi-fi. Apparently formed while still at school and before the could play instruments - could have fooled us - this sounds like classic era Gorky’s smooching up against the Inspiral Carpets especially on the super cooled and excellently titled "Philosophical Transactions of a disappointed Physicist" with its softening psyche glow and innately kooky sense of delivery. Best of the set the hopelessly crooked "Carrot = Donkey" that one minute sounds like Pavement having a real gas pouring over old Hefner inspired ditties before warping into a delicately hued sumptuously lazy eyed summer grazed nugget as though the West Coast had been transplanted to Conwy.
Having already knocked us bandy with that superb "Push and Shove" / "Kilos" release which we reviewed a few missives back (both tracks incidentally feature here) this album features more of that exquisitely skewed bubblegum pop the kind of which takes you strolling here, there and everywhere. Stand out cuts the frantically wired "Andromeda" - a kind of Welsh Ministry with attitude - while the simply lulling steel guitar treated title track will have you swooning a plenty the only thing missing a porch, a rocking chair and some home made possum pie. The band are currently putting the finishing touches to a follow up which so far has a working title of either "Vete" or "Nothin but a tone bone" depending on which side of the fence the sun shines - expect dates in support during July or thereabouts. More please and sharp about it."
