Broadcast 2000 – Rouse Your Bones

Broadcast 2000 – Pep Talk (acoustic)

It’ll be no surprise to anyone that having a new baby in the house is not conducive to a gig-going habit. But although night-time pursuits are off the agenda for now, any withdrawal symptoms I have are being staved off by Pure Groove’s lunchtime gigs. A couple of weeks ago I went to see Broadcast 2000.

I already had their self-titled debut album on regular play and had…

Victoria & Jacob – With No Certainty (Bright Light Bright Light Uncertain remix)

Victoria & Jacob – Clash

Victoria & Jacob are messing with you. They almost had me fooled. Take a look at the picture and remember their name. You’re thinking whimsical acoustic-folky stuff aren’t you? No? What’s that – electro pop? Surely not? Well, not quite, that’s a bit misleading. Don’t expect to throw any dance moves, but do expect to be seduced by some woozy synth-infused melancholic…

Veronica Falls – Found Love in a Graveyard

When it’s time for the lo-fi indie pop Olympics this year, it looks like the Americans are the early favourites. They’re already got the established big litters like Pains of Being Pure at Heart and the Vivian Girls strutting around like the medals are theirs already. The new blood is on the way too as the likes of Harlem are being considered for elibibility to compete. But what of team…

Wild Palms – Human Behaviour

There are loads of ways to reinvent a band, but surely the easiest is to just change the name. It worked for the Kaiser Chiefs. It may well work for Ex Lion Tamers who obviously thought a new name would suit them better, so called themselves Wild Palms. Good move. Thankfully they’ve opted to leave aside the cheesy geezer statium singalongs in favour of excellent stormy guitar noise and a bold Bjork cover.

Not Squares – Asylum

Not Squares seem like regular kinda guys. The sort of guys you might expect to find in a regular Belfast pub. They don’t look like posers. They’re the sort of guys who’ll just pop their hoods up and get on with business. Which is just fine, because then you can – like the people in their video – just concentrate on dancing like a lunatic to their mad party jams.

Tristram – Someone Told Me a Poem (live)

It seems like another age now, but back in early January I spent a very pleasant half hour one lunchtime at Pure Groove watching Tristram play a sparkling lunchtime set. My memory is a little clouded, but through the sleepless haze I can remember the place being unusually full for an artist that wasn’t very well known, and being solidly entertained by Tristram and the band (who share his name…

Caitlin Rose – Shotgun Wedding

I had heard good things about Caitlin Rose before, but my first live encounter was still startling. Sandwiched between two Local stalwarts at their Christmas bash in December, her voice stood out starkly – pure, clear and strong, singing her fine songs and a few choice covers, all with a distinctly country feel. The set was sweet and way too short, so the least I could do was rush to purchase a 10 inch…

I’ve not been very busy on here recently. Some of you may even have wondered where I’ve been. The picture above may provide some clues. I had so much stuff to post last week, but it never happened. But I make no apologies for further absence, I’m happy with the way things are just now. I will be back, sometime soon once life returns to normal, whatever that is.

Stairs to Korea – All of Your Friends (live Dreamtrak session)

He’s back! Awesome bearded one-man band and king of the offbeat tweets, Stairs to Korea returns with another single on the all conquering Brainlove records. All of Your Friends was the highlight of the set when I saw him recently, and is another in the gradual drip-feed of fine pieces of lo-fi electronics and ace guitar solos which should eventually see him with one of the best singles compilations…

The longest shot of all three votes was Liz Green, the publicity-shy, Manchester-based singer songwriter has only released two seven inch singles in two and…

The last ever Seven Songs takes on a festive theme, which is particularly relevant to Slow Club.

So Charles has kindly given us the lowdown on the evergreen Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), unseasonal writing and…

I’ve listened to their 2008 debut album more now than any of my top 20 albums of last year. A few months ago they put out the brilliant Nothing Broke EP, and now they’re revisiting some of the songs from…
