Sunless ‘97, currently residing in London, operate in a domain of their own design. Consisting of members Edward, Alice and Matthew, their “not-quite-electronica-not-quite-guitar-music-not-quite-pop” reflects the all-embracing diversity of Sunless ’97’s influences. From ESG to Bonnie Dobson, Robert Wyatt to Suicide, Broadcast to The Bhundu Boys, their well-received mix tapes are testament to their musical appetite. […]
The NME Awards Shows explode onto London’s live music scene for 2012 with a line-up so packed full of talent that the Shows have burst out of the Capital and will visit five cities around the UK. This year influential Parisian duo Justice will lead a series of shows that will bring the The NME […]
Iconic band The Fall to kick start Sunday night series of live music at the Royal Exchange Theatre on Sunday 20 November 2011 at 7.30pm. There aren’t very many groups that have been together longer than The Fall and it’s difficult to think of any who, like The Fall, have released brand new material almost […]
Following on from their debut album Zeroes QC, Suuns will release a new pair of songs on 12″ vinyl and digital formats this month. “Bambi” and “Red Song” fit smoothly into the Montreal outfit’s oeuvre of dancefloor-friendly post-punk noir. The band explains: “With a couple weeks off this summer in Montreal, we thought we’d take […]
With the recent release of debut LP “Welcome to Condale”, the duo Summer Camp are announcing the release of a brand new single, “Down”. While their album evokes a cinematic microverse of teenage lovers and loners, freaks and high school geeks in American suburbia, “Down”, appropriately enough, comes across as a cry of frustrated independence […]
Ian West, the director behind Hyde & Beast’s earlier videos for ‘(and the) Pictures in the Sky’ and ‘Never Come Back’, has returned to complete his trilogy for the band. Speaking on his latest work he says “This last one is perhaps my favourite, although I love the other two, this seemed more of a […]
As a precursor to their second album, First Aid Kit will release the title track ‘The Lion’s Roar’ as a single on limited 7” and digital formats on the 5th December. As well as supporting Lykke Li in the UK (and the US), the Söderberg sisters will return for a special headline show of their […]
Backed by her fabulous 8-piece band, The Troubadours, Kirsty will debut her latest album Wintersongs, a very special album inspired by the magic and darkness of the festive season. It will be launched with 300, limited edition, individually handmade covers and follows her debut album DejaVoodu, which was recorded at the State of the Ark […]
Thousands of revellers and hundreds of performers have all been captured in ‘5 Years in Photographs: The Warehouse Project Photography Book’. Sebastian Matthes has been The Warehouse Project’s official photographer since the 2006 launch event at Boddington’s Brewery and has taken photos at every series since. This new book presents a collection of some of […]
Mercury Prize winners The XX asked TRACEY THORN to record a track from their debut LP for an album they were commissioning of covers by their favourite artists. Unfortunately the project fell through a few months later for numerous logistical reasons, but Tracey’s version of ‘Night Time’ now sees the light of day on her […]
