Indietracks Festival / all things C86 and indiepop!

[tinycowboy]

Although I think I'd rather listen to that than the Driscoll's one that they also do. I think we're reaching slim pickings in the C86 reissue world.

When's the Nivens retrospective appearing?

 

[Pevenseagull]

tallish check
thin check
lived in Leeds in the early 90s check
highly strung out girlfriend quite often
dangerous and intense .... only on an excess of Grolsch

however, band names around that time were "Men of Sussex" and "*******s from Atlantis"

Ah, but do you own any records by Strawberry Story?

no, but I think I saw them on the same bill as The Fat Tulips

The Northumberland Nivens have a compilation on Firestation. Don't think there's one for the Norfolk Nivens yet. A rare gap in the market.

I'm waiting for a Those Naughty Corinthians compilation. Now there was a band...

...with Esmerelda's Kite in the crowd and The Haywains at the bar.

They did play the Packhorse once. They weren't very good.

Hmmm - that split 7" with Headbirth and Dog Food ain't all that. They couldn't hold a candle to Laurence and the Comfortable Society - the ULTIMATE C86 sensations.

I think I may have fallen asleep in the toilet at that one

Me and a mate put on a club at Ricky's (home of Kaleidoscope Pop) after that gig, but I guess you were too inebriated to have attended

Hi all, just a bit of publicity.....

Oh Peas! Have been added to The Fireworks, andThe Luxembourg Signal at the Hope and Ruin on Saturday 18th July.

It's free and that makes it a triple Indietracks bill warm up....

What do people think of the compilation? I think it's pretty good this year - Fever Dream, Chorusgirl, The Luxembourg Signal for me, also always been partial to a bit of Evans The Death....

Not sure what data (if any?) this has been pulled from, but Christine's Cat is surely out of proportion?

I doubt it.

 

[tinycowboy]

I doubt it.

Where's this from? Is it advertising something? Whenever I see Christine's Cat, it's a reminder of the lowest numbered Sarah record that I don't have

I found it on twitter, which lead to here.

[Flex Your Head]

New material from Rose Melberg and chums:

"One Step Too Far" and "Terrible" are two more Melberg masterpieces, offering up some driving, melodic fuzz pop complete with plenty of vocal harmonies and driving instrumentation. Knife Pleats will surely become a new favourite for indie pop fans the world over.
