This is happening! Fuzz Club Festival at London Fields Brewhouse on the 13th & 14th of November, featuring THE KVB, CAMERA, THE TELESCOPES, 10,000 RUSSOS, NEW CANDYS, THROW DOWN BONES, THE MYRRORS , LOLA COLT , SONIC JESUS, MUGSTAR, THE CULT OF DOM KELLER, RADAR MEN FROM THE MOON, THE JANITORS, THE ORANGE REVIVAL, DEAD RABBITS, I hereby present the remaining five bands on this most illustrious of billings.

Of this concluding brood of acts, I have been humbled by the sensory overloading delectation, of all in the flesh bar The Orange Revival, whose recent ‘Futurecent‘ LP had me flapping at the prospect of beholding their live performance. ( In fairness to both The Cult Of Dom Keller and Dead Rabbits, my exposure to their delights were all too fleetingly brief at Eindhoven Psych Lab, and will be remedied in London).

A special mention also goes out to The Janitors, their EP release ‘Evil Doings Of An Evil Kind‘, which sometimes, “seems a thousand centuries ago”, kick-started this whole chromaticism chapter in my life – for that resurrection I will be forever in their debt.

with the other band so far it all promises to be on of the best line ups this year The KVB The Myrrors The Telescopes Camera Sonic Jesus Lola Colt MUGSTAR 10 000 Russos THE CULT OF DOM KELLER The Janitors Radar Men from the Moon Dead Rabbits New Candys The Orange revival Throw down bones Bad Vibrations Fuzz Club Records

We’re glad to share another track from our new album “Ones and Sixes”, which will be available worldwide on September 11th. You can hear “What Part of Me”  here. Whilst awaiting their upcoming album, the group’s affecting new single and second track release from Ones and Sixes. It’s just over three minutes of the band’s fuzzy, melodic charm, laying Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker’s harmonized vocals over a slightly spectral setting

Ones and Sixes is currently available for pre-order and also on Bandcamp. The limited “Loser Edition” LP on yellow vinyl will be available while supplies last. For those who like to wear their music, two new T-shirt designs will also be available, either as individual items or as part of CD/LP bundles.

Beloved slowcore pioneers LOW shared another new piece of their recently announced new record Ones And Sixes. The track is called What Part Of Me and marks the second impression after No Comprende.

Ones And Sixes will be the follow-up to 2013’s The Invisible Way and arrives on Sub Pop Records on September 11th. The LP was recorded at Justin Vernon’s April Base Studios in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Check out the tour dates .

ROYAL BLOOD – ” Live at Splendour In The Grass Festival “

The only thing thicker and more powerfully gripping than the mud at Splendour was the sound booming from the stage during Royal Blood’s powerhouse set. And now – thanks to Telstra – you can watch the entire thing on demand from the opening track ‘Come On Over ’ right through to the blistering version of ‘Out of the Black’ complete with riffage of Black Sabbath’s ‘Iron Man’.

With just one album to the name, the duo already have a setlist worthy of a festival headline billing and the attitude to back it up. Touring earlier in the year with Laneway Festival they were overlooked by many punters, but here at Splendour they were treated (and played) like all-conquering heroes despite frontman Mike Kerr insisting that he was just up there “pretending to be a rock star”.

Royal Blood’s Splendour setlist:

Come On Over
You Can Be So Cruel
Figure It Out
Better Strangers
Little Monster
Blood Hands
One Trick Pony
Ten Tonne Skeleton
Loose Change
Out of the Black

ROBERT PLANT – ” Justin Adams Guitar Solo ” Mountain Jam 2015

Sensational Space Shifters guitarist Justin Adams (temporarily) steals the show from Robert Plant during their performance of ‘Fixin’ to Die’ at the 2015 Mountain Jam Festival.

He’ll be forever associated with Jimmy Page. But Robert Plant‘s memorable onstage collaboration with Justin Adams at Mountain Jam 2015 proves all over again what a great bandmate the former Led Zeppelin frontman still is.

Watch as Plant, appearing with Adams on “Funny in My Mind (I Believe I’m Fixin’ to Die),” surrenders the spotlight for the guitarist’s rockabilly-infused solo . It’s clear how much fun Plant is having as he joins the crowd in marveling over Justin Adams’ out-sized swagger. Watch the above clip to see just Adams’ solo portion of the song.

Their musical relationship was forged over multiple solo projects, beginning with 2002′s Dreamland and continuing through subsequent Robert Plant efforts like 2005′s Mighty ReArranger and 2014′s lullaby and … the Ceaseless Roar. Adams and Plant shared co-writing credit on “Funny in My Mind,” Dreamland ’s opening track and a rewrite of Delta bluesman Bukka White’s ”Fixin’ to Die Blues.”

Plant also mixed tracks from lullaby, choice covers and a menu of re-imagined Led Zeppelin classics including “Black Dog,” “What Is and What Should Never Be” and “Dazed and Confused” during his Mountain Jam show. Fans who missed out on this stop.

 

YAK – ” Plastic People ” and ” Hungry Heart “

Yak members Oliver Burslem, Andy Jones and Elliot Rawson have been touring and gaining a lot of buzz since last time  I saw them. Having seen them three times within a month at Live at Leeds and now at Field Day, I got used to the singer, Oli Burslem, coming on stage barefoot,and sometimes a little worse for wear his hair covering his eyes and his young Mike Jagger similarties, with one of the best rock drummers who keeps an amazing beat, with his rhythm Bass playing cohort he confidently counts the band in with his deep voice. When the riff of Plastic People started, my  excitment levels went up and everybody in the tent  went crazy causing chaos in the audience. Oli managed to jump off stage three times during the short set rubbing his white Fender Stratocaster on anything he could focus on. The concert was as usual : concise, demented, frenetic and mind-blowing. The drummers sticks moved so fast you could barely see them. YAK more than any other band just give all their vigor and verve until they look like they are washed-out, and that’s the best a rock band can do. Their sound,psychotic-psychedelic, violent but melodic and poetic just sweep away everything in its path. They have become my Favourte band of the festival season don’t miss out on them

SUEDE – ” John Peel Stage Live at Glastonbury ” 27th June 2015

Suede perform “Beautiful Ones” at Glastonbury 2015. Visit the Glastonbury website at http://bbc.co.uk/glastonbury for more videos and photos,

The return of Brett Anderson’s black-clad glam-pervs to active duty has been one of indie rock’s great joys over the last few years. Their early ‘90s role as flag bearers for articulate and English sleaze acted as a flamboyant catalyst for what became Britpop, so their influence lingered even longer than the thrill of their songs. Since their 2010 return they have taken on the mantle of elder statesmen with a story to tell, like soldiers returning from a long and bloody war. And this has given them a platform from which to deliver new music – such as 2013’s Bloodsports – that has been as warmly received as the hits.

For newcomers, all you need to know is that this exquisite glam racket is the product of hard-won experience in the fields of sex, drugs and rock’n’roll, that the drama in the music has occasionally been reflected in drama between the key players in the band – not least original guitarist Bernard Butler, who left in 1994 – and that even though these dramas are in the past now, they will be called up like rampaging wraiths at the first swing of Brett Anderson’s hips.

Setlist:

Pantomime Horse, Moving , Trash, Animal Nitrate, We Are The Pigs, Killing Of A Flash Boy, It Starts And Ends With You, He’s Dead, Pale Snow, I Don’t Know How To Reach You, The Living Dead, Drowners, So Young / Can’t Get Enough, Metal Mickey, Beautiful Ones, She’s In Fashion, New Generation.

CATFISH and the BOTTLEMEN – ” The Other Stage Live at Glastonbury 2015 “

Catfish and the Bottlemen singer Van McCann is not a man unduly burdened with doubts about his immediate future, and with good reason. His band’s successes have all come from winning hearts in every audience they’ve played to – including those standing stunned in front of the BBC Introducing stage at last year’s Radio 1 Big Weekend in Glasgow, which also lead to them winning the BBC Introducing trophy at the first ever BBC Music Awards – and they really like to play.

2015

Not that it’s all about the gigs. Each Catfish single – all gifted with a one-word title, to make their set-lists nice and neat – has been greeted like an old friend by Zane Lowe and his Hottest Record in the World, and then playlisted across Radio 1.

Setlist: Kathleen, Pacifier, Fallout, 26,  Business, Homesick, Cocoon, Tyrants.
