Indietracks Festival / all things C86 and indiepop!

[Flex Your Head]

I remember buying The Hidden Cameras' single "A Miracle" and some handmade cardboardy album too. Quite good stuff, especially the single. Good line-up.

That would be this - http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=1174959

Which featured this, which is possibly Ms Flex's favourite song and is rather lovely.

That would be this

This IS that. I can't recall Ms Flex's song and I don't think I ever uploaded the album onto my iPod - I'd have to go into the attic. In the attic, like in the meadow, it is dark. And there are boxes and boxes of 7", 10" and 12" singles and albums. Once I start looking at THEM, I may spend the whole day up there if I take a kettle, some sandwiches and some cake. And a record player. What a great day that would be....

You should sell tickets and make it in to a shared event. Maybe install a bar up there too...

More additions to the line-up, including Joanna Gruesome, The Hidden Cameras and Brighton's rather splendid Slum of Legs.

Slum Of Legs are one of the other bands playing along with Joanna Grusome on 29th July. Also Thee Ahs. Got my tickets yesterday.

A whole crowd of middle-aged men poring over 7" single inserts, wraparound sleeves and obscure b-sides. Well, I've had worse days. £2 entry fee to cover tea and snacks. BYOB.

Perfect for a Sunny morning

Perfect for a Monday morning



Although at least it's a 4 day week

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Yep! That's me awake.

I do like the Darren Hayman/ Emma Kupa stuff. There's a whole album of it on the way I think?

He does have a hell of a work rate doesn't he?

Yes. I keep hoping to see him live again soon. He does a monthly residency at The Vortex in London which I keep meaning to get along to. Last time I did see him was at The Unitarian in Brighton where he did an afternoon show with Jack Hayter.
I really enjoyed The Violence and Lido albums plus all The Hefner stuff.

Speaking of whom...

And also speaking of whom, just another quick mention that The Fireworks are playing at the Prince Albert on Easter Monday supporting Heathers (from LA), with King of Cats also playing. Really looking forward to it!

King of Cats 8pm, The Fireworks 9pm, Heathers 10pm apparently... hopefully in a good mood after Blackpool!

I believe you've a date down my way before that, too?

Tomorrow night, I think?

You should get along if you can - Rich from The Sun Shines Here is DJing and will doubtless have a great setlist lined up.

I know - it was a note in the post from Rich, that alerted me to the fact!

(and I have his playlist in front of me)

Aislers set / Andersen tapes / Article 58 / ATV / Belle and Sebastien / Best Coast / Blanche Hudson Weekend / Blondie / Brilliant Corners / Bubblegum Lemonade / Buzzcocks / Camera Obscura / Chefs / Chesterfields / Chiffons / Clean / Clientele / Clouds / Cookies / Darling Buds / Delmontes / Dream Diary / Earl Jean / Fear of Men / Field Mice / Fire Engines / Flatmates / Free Loan Investments / Garlands / Go-Betweens / Golden Grrrls / Groove farm / Heavenly / Richard Hell / History of Apple Pie / Honeybees / Hurrah! / Jam / Jasmine Minks / Joanna Gruesome / June Brides / La Sera / McCarthy / Magnetic Fields / Mazzy Star / Microdisney / Mighty Mighty / Milky Wimpshake / Modern Lovers / Only Ones / Orange Juice / Orchids / Pale Lights / Pastels / Primal Scream / Primitives / Ramones / Razorcuts / Rezillos / Rosehips / Jackie Ross / Scott & Charlene's Wedding / Sea Urchins / Seapony / September Girls / Shangri-Las / Shirelles / Siddeleys / Shop Assistants / Spook School / Standard Fare / Stiff Little Fingers / Strawberry Whiplash / Subway Sect / Sugargliders / Talulah Gosh / Teenage Fanclub / Velocity Girl / Velvet Underground / Veronica Falls / Dee Dee Warwick / Wedding present / Wire / X-Ray Spex / Zipper

That's the order on his list - I presume he's not actually going to play them in alphabetical order!

Great line up.


Chances of me getting along there? Slim to none

 

[shaun_rc]

Ah fantastic! Really looking forward to that, it never occurred to me that anyone on here was down there near Soton. That looks like a great DJ list, great stuff!

I'm coming down for this, and my daughter will be joining me - nice way to round off the Easter break... especially if we have another 3 points in the bag.

I should upload the CD of the C86 band I did with Rich

 

[tinycowboy]

Posted this on the albums 2014 thread, but worth the repetition, in case anybody missed it. I have a feeling that Flex posted some Gold-Bears recently somewhere, but where??

More Fear of Men (posed another one on the Albums thread):
