   About Alice Gun
"really beautiful and profoundly affecting...a very talented lady" - Tom Robinson (BBC 6).

"We're loving her eerie string-laden candlelit ballads. Definitely could become a real cult fave in the coming months." - Pure Groove

"a slight-of-frame porcelain pixie who's classically trained to charm Bat For Lashes beauty of out of most instruments invented...like Polly Harvey at her most seductive" - Loud Quiet Loud

"not to be missed" - Artrocker

"lovely, tense, atmospheric...One to watch for certain" - www.trackandgigs.blogspot.com

"'The swimmer' is a top tune, both eerie and uplifting " - Norman Records

* * * * *

Alice Gun records in her North London drinks cabinet and down a Lakeland mineshaft, distilling brutal/beautiful songs from guitars, glockenspiel, double bass, cello, E-bow, accordion and a lopsided upright.

A classically-trained multi-instrumentalist, she also plays cello for blues man Mr David Viner in a long-running collaboration which has included recording with Ed Harcourt and touring with the White Stripes. She also does house music vocals for the money.

Live, Alice Gun is joined by her producer and Damon Albarn-collaborator Al Mobbs on double bass, Robbie Jarvis on drums and Sam Campari on everything else. A string section featuring members of the Monroe Transfer also joined her for the July 6th single launch.

Well hello there

The much anticipated Gamages Model Train Club album is now wonderfully finished and on sale.

There's a beautifully designed digipack CD, featuring illustrations by Benjamin Harrison of each song, and full lyrics booklet.

You can also of course buy the MP3s from Amazon, iTunes and most other digital emporiums.

"Gamages Model Train Club impart an energy and eloquent lyricism that is part devil-souled bluesman and part 19th century gentleman's club…"


- www.junkmedia.com, New York


"Evoking the rhythmical gnarliness of The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Gamages' 'The Loss of Gamages Model Train Club' sounds like a cage battle between Belle and Sebastian and Arcade Fire held in Nick Cave's living room"


- Artrocker Magazine, London


"the Gamages Model Train Club album appearing at platform one could well be one of the albums of the year"


- The Devil Has The Best Tuna, UK
