An Idiot's Guide to Dreaming

Third Band

Found 1 year ago

Conceived by pop svengali "Kolonel" Kek-W as the west country's response to the early 90's boy band craze, Westlite comprised the following:Psychbloke (the one with the big lips)Glitch (the one who left to become a farmer, like that Alex James from Blur)Gutta (the 'urban' one who had to do the ...

Second Band

Found 1 year, 1 month ago

... from punk to post-punk, a wrench in time, a spastic transposing of the timeline from the Sex Pistols USA tour to the launch of PIL into the late 80s, a decade on and nothing has changed; same troubles with the lead singers who more or less get ditched in ...

First Band

Found 1 year, 1 month ago

Martin on Crass reminded me of the first band I was in, which reminded me other things which I can't go into.Our first proper band was called The Rejected (not randomly chosen - we were once rejected from the school common room for trying to play Dead Kennedys tapes ). ...

Sleeve

Found 1 year, 1 month ago

From the days when he had a crystal eye and jacked tabs, Richard Norris has plumbed psyche for all it's worth... He's kept with it; straining to hear drumbeats and synth washes where they might have been or should have been in bargain basement, zero album, lost 7" garage bands ...

Psychic TV at The Bierkeller

Found 1 year, 1 month ago

PTV play the Bristol Bierkeller on 17th September. How theIR dayglo transgender hypno-retroscending hyperDelia mixes with the scum and cider froth of Bristol's premier German-themed dancehall I can only imagine but it looks like it might be worth a wander up the traintracks. Anyone interested? Doppelganger, can I stay at ...

Buzz Or Howl

Found 1 year, 1 month ago

Very occasionally, I dream a band into existence, or at least that's how it seems. It happened before with ........................ (brain collapsed, memory failing daily) and now it's happened again. I woke up having seen (I supposed) an imaginary band called Buzz or Howl playing in a kind of 'Twin ...

Self Taught

Found 1 year, 1 month ago

Good stuff by k-punk on music journalisms relationship with theory, he can't be alone in getting into cultural theory via occasionally intellectually traumatic reviews and articles in the 'golden ages' of NME / MM etc (hate that phrase: these days must be someone's golden age mustn't it?)One thing though, he ...

Children Eating Birds

Found 1 year, 1 month ago

The self-titled CD-R by Children Eating Birds (available here) dreams it's way through earlyish Animal Collective territory with a smattering of the woodfunk of the Wooden Wand folk... you know the drift here : melodies lightly scraped from bark; deer-lick tunings; accordian drones that crossover each other like people are ...

It's The End Of The World

Found 1 year, 1 month ago

Enjoying Heroes, especially because the trailer features The End Of The World, everyone's favourite (okay - etc) Skeeter Davis song and my favourite apocaplyptic pop-country ballad. It's so resoundingly Goth it reminds me of the Pete Murphy look-a-likes that used to (still, really) hang around Yeovil College, trying to keep ...

Amal Gamal Ensemble

Found 1 year, 1 month ago

There's a very limited CDR release from the Cyclobe/Coil/ Lemon Kittens related Amal Gamal Ensemble available at the Cyclobe website - I haven't got mine but I seem to remember Cloudboy saying nice things about their live incarnation at the Cube (he lives there, I think). They're also playing an ...
