Indietracks Festival / all things C86 and indiepop!

[Flex Your Head]

Glad the CDs are still getting the occasional spin. I still have a volume II in mind, it's just that life has been very hectic over the last 3 weeks. Hopoefully things will calm down a touch now.

Anyway, here's the new Joanna Gruesome video; a feast for the ears, maybe not so for the eyes?

Inspired by some much earlier posts, i was going to compile a quiz based on songs that featured "ba ba ba ba" lyrics, but it's proving harder than i thought. I WILL get round to it because everybody loves a quiz, don't they??

 

[Staly]

Staly - how do I go about getting one of your awesome looking (sounding?) CDs please?

Yeah I know, sorry. I was meaning to do some copies last weekend, but we had a bit of a family emergency so I didn't get round to it. Then we let in two goals in the last 5 minutes so I was too grumpy. I will do it though soon, and I also need to properly acknowledge the mp3s you sent me, I bought the Joanna Gruesome lp, so they've that to thank you for....

That Joanna Gruesome video is just bonkers, but the album is excellent!

Good job I don't suffer from Migraines as that Joanna Gruesome video would have set one off I reckon. Great song though.

OK, time for some selfless self promotion.... I play in band called The Fireworks who have been mentioned on here, and I'm very excited that our new single has just been put up on the Shelflife Record site for pre-orders. I'm biased I know, but we're really happy with it. I'm far too old to be this excited!

Good luck with this. I notice it is an American label. Are you going to be selling copies in good old fashioned pounds, shillings and pence?

It will be available in the UK on iTunes and Amazon as MP3, but the vinyl is from the US. The 7" will be in the main specialist shops over here though - Rough Trade etc. - but it is an import so hope it's not too expensive!

Great stuff Shaun. Good work. Stick the mp3 link up when it's out.

I'll give it a go tomorrow lunchtime. Looking forward to it...

Will do... it's out 26th November, but the current link points to Soundcloud and the Shelflife website, where you can stream it. We're doing a video shortly too.

I used to do stuff years ago, recently got back into it when a friend in the band asked me. Part of the excitement is that I never thought I'd be lucky enough to be doing something like this again!

Shaun, this is great! Trying to convert people in my office right now...

My favourite track on Shelflife (excluding The Fireworks, of course) is This Trip by Brittle Stars. Exceedingly pleasant bittersweet indiepop.

Yeah, I listened, thanks.

I am SO jealous. The facts that I have never learned any kind of instrument, and cannot sing a note, have still never quite killed my dreams of being in a proper band. Supporting the Wedding Present? You the man.

I'll give you a call when my boys need a roadie HK

Its a deal. I have roadie experience, too*


*one night, as a favour to a mate, in about 1990, I roadied with him, for a shit Indie/Madchester band called CANDY FLIP, for a gig at Lancaster University. The band were shocking, we got about £20 each, and there was no "I'm with the band" groupie action. Rubbish.

That's big time - they had a huge(ly cr*p) hit. Top 3, I recall.

They did. A terrible madchester/faux psychedelic cover of the Beatles' 'Strawberry Fields'.

Errr... supporting The Wedding Present playing the album I played on originally. It's still weird to be honest, even though I've seen him do it before with an entirely different lineup!
