Also in the last few days, wearing our record label cap, we’ve just announced our upcoming album from Melbourne quartet Terry. Entitled ‘Terry HQ’ the album will venture forth on July 1st and collects ten of the most perfectly misshapen glam pop tracks you’re ever likely to hear. Our pre-order link is up now too!
Plus you can listen to ‘Don’t Say Sorry’, the first track of the album now, “why would you say sorry for that?”

THE SPACE LADY
DANIEL BACHMAN
Thursday 5 May
Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club, 44 Pollard Row, Bethnal Green, E2 6NB
7:30pm | £9 | TICKETS
THE SPACE LADY began her
odyssey on the streets of San Francisco in the late 70s, playing
versions of contemporary pop music an accordion and dressed
flamboyantly, transmitting messages of peace and harmony. Following the
theft of her accordion, The Space Lady invested in a then-new Casio
keyboard, birthing an otherworldly new dimension to popular song that
has captured the imaginations of the underground and its lead exponents
ever since, with the likes of John Maus, Erol Alkan and Kutmah being
devotees. Of her early street sets, only one recording was made,
self-released originally on cassette and then transferred to a homemade
CD. "The Space Lady’s Greatest Hits" released in 2014 through Night
School features the best of these recordings - mostly covers but with
some originals - pressed on vinyl for the first time and features
archival photographs and liner notes from The Space Lady herself.
“Greatest Hits” contains The Space Lady’s personal favourites; her
haunting take on The Electric Prunes’ “I Had Too Much To Dream (Last
Night),” a frantic “Ballroom Blitz” amidst other reconstructed pop
music. Following on from this wonderful record, The Space Lady released
last year a split LP with the Burnt Ones on Castle Face records which
included her spectral take on ‘Across The Universe’.
https://soundcloud.com/dazedandconfused/sets/the-space-lady-greatest-hits DANIEL BACHMAN is a 6-string and lap guitar player from Fredericksburg, Virginia currently living in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. From 2008 to present he’s been releasing material of almost exclusively an instrumental nature while touring everywhere from Istanbul to Los Angeles. He has been playing what he describes as “psychedelic appalachia” since he was a teenager, releasing small run editions of tapes, CDs and LPs for the past three years, with a sound that evolved from drones and banjos to a now guitar centered focus. Touring off and on since the age of 17, Bachman has managed to cover thorough ground across the US, sharing stages with like minded folk such as fellow Fredericksburg native Jack Rose, for whom he fashioned the artwork for the posthumous release of ‘Luck In The Valley’. His newest effort is the full length LP ‘River’ (Three Lobed), and simply stated it’s his best album. Unconventionally, it opens with the breathtaking and robust fourteen minute epic “won’t you cross over to that other shore.” Proving his ability to write music that keeps the listener engaged (even across such a long tune), Bachman successfully uses tempo changes, varied picking patterns and melodic exploration, all without ever getting lost in pointless improvisation too far from the overall theme. Bachman takes the listener on an aural journey through the back roads of the foothills of the blue-ridge to calm coastal waters. https://www.facebook.com/danilbachman/ |
NEIL MICHAEL HAGERTY & THE HOWLING HEX
IRMA VEP
ALISTAIR MCKAY
Tuesday 10 May
Moth Club, Old Trades Hall, Valette St, Hackney Central, E9 6NU
7.30pm | £10 | TICKETS
NEIL MICHAEL HAGERTY & THE HOWLING HEX
have stepped back out into the sunshine for the first time since ‘The
Best Of The Howling Hex’ back in 2013. Since then they have refocused on
the immediate pleasures found within the writing and playing of a
single song. This direction, explored in a pair of limited edition
singles released over the past two years, reaches a populist zenith on
the new album, ‘Denver’ on Drag City, in which an entire community and
geographic region are tapped for their energy, the celebratory pulses of
which feed the new music. To achieve this effect in the ultimately
democratic conception of The Howling Hex’s New Border Sound, Neil
cranked up his guitar-playing to dominant levels that recall his playing
in Pussy Galore and Royal Trux. Coupled with the beats and, at times,
requiring different inflections from the beat, Neil’s howling guitar
sounds elevate the music of ‘Denver’ to an ecstatic communal expression,
the likes of which will no doubt massage pleasure centres in the
make-up of modern popular music listeners. As guitarist in Pussy Galore,
Neil Hagerty re-invented long hair and blue jeans. As one half of Royal
Trux he forged a guitar/vocal/boogie paradigm unheralded in
contemporary music. The mercury sound of Royal Trux however will never
be imitated. Somewhere past Sonny and Linda Sharrock, out past the fuel
rig blast of time, Hagerty's textural shifts are uniquely,
harmolodically hung.
IRMA VEP is the long-term
project of Edwin Stevens. As the alpha member of the Manchester
underground music nerd set – a mirror world of the city’s explicit
culture, where benevolence, good vibes, an active pursuit of self-doubt
and a hazy absence of self-importance are paradoxically coupled with
your usual countercultural aural fuck-you-ism – he’s played regularly in
at least five completely stylistically unconnected formations at any
one time since moving to the city from North Wales about eight years
ago. Recent Golden Lab release, ‘Disappointment’ is a unification of
everything he’s been brilliant at within various contexts. From
ecstatically ripping it up ostrich freestyle to singing beautiful,
sincere songs of apology and regret, both disparate elements coalesce in
Irma Vep into a wondrously weird, hypnotic, earnest, outer limits rock.
For this show Edwin will be accompanied by a full band of sonic
miscreants.
ALISTAIR MCKAY from Melbourne,
now living in London, plays guitar and sings in Australia’s deep pop
thinkers Dick Diver. Dick Diver’s recent album ‘Melbourne, Florida’
(Chapter Music / Trouble In Mind) pays tribute to Jim Morrison, Kylie,
confused travellers, high school quiz nights and much more, all in the
space of 12 very beautiful pop songs. For this show Al will performing
an intimate solo set on guitar and vocals.
