11 Feb Real Crazy Apartment £3
Another “we
must have back again” bands voted for by you! Real Crazy Apartment,
a five piece band hailing from North Wales, Chester and Liverpool began
life inspired by the style and power of original British RnB and contempory
guitar bands. Their popularity soon grew to the extent that a track entitled
'Four Sided Circles' was included on a European compilation album 'Fever'
on Bip Bip records and another early track 'Moving On' used in a documentory
about Andy Warhol on
American television.
The culmination
of this period was an explosive set at London club The Purple Pussycat.
This generated so much attention that the band recieved a congratulatory
phone call from none other than Jimmy Winston, ex-keyboard
player for the Small Faces who's 1967 song 'Real Crazy Apartment' gave
the band their name.
Ever evolving,
the band continues to refine their style with honest lyrics and addictive
melodies whilst maintaining the power and impact exemplified by their
blistering live performances ...

24 Feb Karma + The Children £3
Karma:- Is
mysterious British trad rock your thing? Like things that sound a little
like Paul Weller’s early solo recordings? Maybe a dash of attitude?
Lots of overly husky roaring vocals? Well if that’s the case, you
may well be advised to purchase this excellent three track EP. Karma are
four men who sound like they’re from the most northern, archetypal
steel producing city in England, where the weights of the world rest heavy
on their shoulders. There’s no arty titles, eight-minute solos,
stupidly out of sync drums, nor are the bands haircuts angled stylishly
to one side like some - is that unfortunate? It doesn’t sound it.
Karma certainly have sound which is obviously and purposely blatant. Karma
have an identity although whether it is their fate to have hordes of oasis-esque
blokes chanting Karma from the stadiums will be
in their hands, and will have nothing to do with chance.
The Children:-
Whilst the media debates New Art Rock vs. Guerrilla Punk Pop or whatever's
hip in lofts off Shoreditch High St this week, it takes an iron will not
to be remotely influenced by current trends, and talent to do so without
sounding rather dated. Fuelled by an organ and (possibly) late nights
involving whisky, The Children succeed on both counts. Remember when R'n'B
meant rhythm and blues not ring tones and bling? And how good it could
be? There are merry-go-round organs, Doors trips and an utterly bizarre
segment of Laughing Policeman “ha-ha-ha”s at one point that
has some punters looking slightly scared.
Confident crescendos,
magnificent melodies and gravel gargled vocals all mix together to create
a sound that is both utterly retro and thoroughly now. Look out for them,
they'll be coming your way soon. If
you are unsure on what we are saying get your arses down to one of their
gigs and find out for yourself...,
"Great
really good , really really good, i can't believe there not signed, sure
it won't be for long" Paul Weller 25/11/2005 Revolution 96.2fm
“One
of my favourite bands” - Clint Boon (ex Inspiral carpets)
“Top
F------ band" - John Lever ( ex Chameleons)
“So
many bands trot out the line that they just enjoy playing their music,
but this band clearly do. And I suspect if they were scrawny pale Americans
playing exactly the same set they’d already have a six figure contract”.
- Cath Aubergine Manchester Music
“Filtering
their influences through a particularly Mancunian strain, they've put
together less of a demo and more of debut album that nods to the Doors
on the opening Labyrinth, runs rough shod over The Kinks in Ink Of the
Night, and twists the Happy Mondays into Greetings” - Chris
Long BBC GMR

Special
Offer: Two Advance Tickets for £12
Waking The
Witch:
 “…a
female Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young”
‘’absolutely
gorgeous – the guitar playing and the harmonies are just so beautiful‘’
- JANICE LONG BBC Radio 2
The Leeds–based
foursome released ‘Hands and Bridges’ - their eagerly awaited
follow-up to their acclaimed debut,
‘Like Everybody’ - on May 16th. Not only is the CD (described
by BOB HARRIS as ‘a lovely album’) once more
released via their own label, this time there are no other musicians featured
– with every note written, sung,
and played by the four girls on this self-written and self-produced release.
To say that
it has been well received would be an understatement. – rave reviews
from both press and radio have been coming in thick and fast, many featuring
the recurring theme.
"If
Crosby, Stills & Nash had been women, they might have produced this"
- Hi-Fi News
Says Patsy
Matheson: "When we first started to write and arrange together we
knew we had something special. We've all done solo projects before but
as a foursome we feel we have more energy, more drive, more creativity
– and we certainly have more fun! Waking the Witch is like being
part of an extended family, it just feels right."
Conceived in
January 2003, PATSY MATHESON, JOOLS PARKER, BECKY MILLS and RACHEL GOODWIN
soon made their mark on the northern scene, where their ability to captivate
audiences rapidly gained them a devoted following. News of the strength
of their live performance spread rapidly, and soon they were appearing
at countless venues throughout the U.K.
The launch
of their ground breaking debut CD ‘Like Everybody’ in October
2003 produced a wave of excitement throughout the UK acoustic music circuit
and by the Spring of 2004, they had completed a national tour as guests
of the recently formed super group, Casbah Club (featuring BRUCE FOXTON
of THE JAM and members of the Scottish rock group, BIG COUNTRY). During
the Summer, they made appearances at many UK festivals. Their appearance
at the 2004 Glastonbury Festival was so impressive that it resulted in
them being invited to perform at
the after show party, as part of a band including GLENN TILBROOK of SQUEEZE.
Throughout
2005 they have toured the length and breath of the UK, where they continued
to build on their reputation for putting on an outstanding live show.
At Marlborough Festival, they went down so well, that they were the first
band to be invited back for a return visit in 2006! The quality of their
live performance has also been reflected in the fact that they have been
invited to appear live and unplugged on numerous radio shows, including
sessions for Radio 2’s JANICE LONG, BBC Radio London’s CHARLIE
GILLETT (who liked them so much he invited them back for a second session!)
and the legendary DLT! They have recently been included in a TV documentary
about the Leeds music scene, alongside other Leeds bands such as THE KAISER
CHIEFS, THE MUSIC and
CHUMBAWAMBA, and they have also been featured on Yorkshire TV’s
Calendar programme.
Waking The
Witch are all acclaimed solo artists in their own right, with musical
pedigrees to match. Patsy, Rachel and Jools have at one time or another
appeared with the likes of CHRISTY MOORE, JOHN MARTYN, MARY COUGHLAN,
SAM BROWN and the SAW DOCTORS. But it is as a foursome that they have
really made their mark.
All four are
respected guitar players, all write songs and all have voices to die for.
Together, their voices build from haunting, delicate beauty to an explosion
of soaring harmonies. Their melodies are rooted in blues and R&B,
rock and folk, and the result is a sound that blends and transcends these
genres into something unique and
personal.
Their stunning
debut album 'Like Everybody' took people by surprise with it’s uniqueness
and energy - and similarly,
the new release, ‘Hands & Bridges’ radiates womanly zest
and attitude, but unlike the first, it features just
the voices of four girls and their four accompanying guitars, so the overall
sound is more ‘rootsy’, definitely more
‘acoustic’ and a stunning recreation of what the band does
live.
Waking the
Witch are positive proof that there is plenty of exciting, vibrant new
talent. The music industry is not dead, after all.
 "Those
girls are very special, aren't they? Arousingly special voices with beautiful
vocal harmonies / arrangements that both surprise and stir… They
would be amazing to see in concert - particularly in a smallish, intimate
theatre or club… My absolute favourites are tracks 1 and 8 - gorgeous!"–
Jerry Donahue, June 2005
Think
that sums it up quite well!!!

22 March - Otway Special ... details to follow
It had taken
25 years, but a quarter of a century after his first Hit, Cor Baby That´s
Really Free, John Otway was in the Top Ten last year with Bunsen Burner.
Over the years Otway´s fans had clubbed together to buy him a birthday
present. When asked what he would like for his special 50th present, John
decided that what he would like, most of all, was another Hit.
