GOD MUST BE LAUGHING DOWN AT ME....Ha Ha Ha

THEY WERE SO FUCKING GOOD! Highlights were definitely, red handed sleight of hand straight into art is hard, the martyr (so good!) and the last song before their encore, what have I done, such an epic way to end their set! If you like the above poster for the cursive show it was done by my (inbetweeners voice) friend, Check out his awesome blog here.

CURSIVE- WHAT HAVE I DONE?

Oh Bianca, Sierra, how I love your head space, if more people thought like you the world would be a nicer place to live in. Cocorosie have been an obsession of mine for a while, not just their music but the whole mythology that surrounds the two sisters. Bianca and Sierra were born in iowa, their mother was an artist who constantly moved the sisters around the country and their father, a teacher, was involved in shamanism and the native american peyote religion. After losing contact with each other they eventually met up again in paris where Sierra had been training to be an operatic singer and the pair recorded their first album la masion de reverie in her bathroom! Read up about them here, have a look at biancas art here, check out this recent interview here, listen to their new/ish track below and watch the youtube video.

Cocorosie - God has a voice she speaks through me

Brand new have announced they have started mixing their new album with Dave Sardy and are expecting to release it this summer!

One of my new favourite Cardiff bands, Samoans, have been in the studio and recorded an amazing 5 track demo. Dan, tal and calvin make up samoans who sound a bit like early hopesfall crossed with american football/ghost and vodka with the vocals of a young simon neil. Their music is definately the culmination of lots of different influences and their live show is full of passion and energy. Their whole demo is available to listen to on their myspace and also check out dan's other band circa regna tonat here.

Hi.


We just got done having our first practice in 8 years or something like that. Honestly I can't remember the last time we were all in the same place at the same time. At any rate... It happened.


We will keep you posted... or not. One or the other.
