Meanwhile on the other side of town . . .
Dave Kusworth began making his musical mark in the late seventies punk scene with TV Eye (who released material on Rough Trade) and has continued to record and perform ever since. A member of The Dogs D'mour around the time of their intial release 'The State We're In', Kusworth soon moved on to form The Jacobites with ex-Swell Maps innovator Nikki Sudden (a collaboration of kindred spirits that would continue until Suddens premature death in 2006). Alongside and outside The Jacobites, Kusworth signed to Creation records with his band The Bounty Hunters and after their demise continued to record for the label as a solo artist. The Jacobites have had recordings licensed to the legendary BOMP! label in the USA where their talent has been recognised by Evan Dando/Mercury Rev, both of whom have covered Jacobites songs.
"He's mine and Alan McGee's and Bobby Gillespie's favourite songwriter and he has never really had much recognition. If you ask some American bands, they'll say 'Oh, dave Kusworth, he's brilliant!'
Joe Foster, Co-founder, Creation records, NME

"Dave's voice is one of the purest in Rock 'n' Roll."
Nina Antonia, biographer- Johnny Thunders, New York Dolls, Peter Perrett
We have put a new song up for you, it’s only a rough demo which hasn’t really been mixed well and hasn’t been produced but it will give you a taster of what may come next in our next recording sessions which we are trying to set before Christmas.
Enjoy! It’s called 'Stop'. Please tell us what you think.
"Thank You is an athletic rhythm/action unit from Baltimore, made up of Jeffrey McGrath, Michael Bouyoucas, and Emmanuel Nicolaidis. The band has been building up a reputation via their live show, combining tribal beatdowns, organ freakouts and joyful chanting which has left audience members overwhelmed, and ready to spread the word.
This is the first set from the slightly tweaked Beach Fuzz line-up with Fliss Horrocks now playing guitar alongside Tom Settle and Nick Mitchell. Seven tracks of clattering drums, chugging and wailing guitars, screaming keyboards, mellow, lilting pastoral improv and moaned vocals.

Recorded at The Bowling Green pub in Manchester on 17th November 2008, when Bridget was on tour with Marcia Bassett, this is a maximal 25-minute set of epic guitar brutalising and deep, moaned vocal incantations. Employing a bow and 'metal' effects pedals, the resulting cacophony is orchestral in scope, rendering almost unreliable the memory of one woman and her instrument. Somewhat akin to Bassett's duo with Matthew Bower, Hototogisu, the deeply layered tones created by Hayden offer, upon first exposure, a somewhat icy auditory experience, but as the recording settles in, the richness and sheer breadth of sound wraps around you like a feather quilt and shifts your perception almost 180 degrees. A truly magnificent set from this former Vibracathedral Orchestra member.
