"warm, melodic, bubbling genius" "Some of the best music I have ever played on the radio... incredibly musical and soulful electronica". "...an almost kind of introverted sound" Adam Walton, BBC Radio
Thought we’d let you know that we’re playing your track "Bug Crunch" on BBC Radio Bristol Introducing this Sunday morning between 1-3am. Hear it live or anytime in the 7 days after broadcast using the on line "Listen Live/Again" feature on the BBC i-Player, there's a link to it from our profile.
Happy Dynamic Living!
Richard Pitt & Gary Smith BBC Radio Bristol Introducing
Adam Walton played you on Sunday and wants more stuff from you!! :) get working! now for a bit of spam:
Adam Walton at BBC RADIO WALES has asked us to do a 25 minute monthly blog for his show. Our first blog was broadcast on February 3rd 2008 with songs from Kristin Hersh, Das Wanderlust, Party Weirdo and Silence at Sea. You can listen again for one week at LISTEN AGAIN and click on Adam Walton's name to go through to his show. The blog is 1 hour , 52 minutes into the show. However it's another great show from Adam with lots of female artists represented so if you've time well worth a listen, the first four bands and last band on the show are all female fronted and have played Peppermintpatti.
Please pardon this intrusion. I hate spam, yet I spam others every Sunday. It's unforgivably hypocritical of me.
2007 was a great year for new Welsh music as you will have heard if you had the time to tune into the two Best of Year shows over the Christmas period. Thank you to everyone who contributed their music choices and voices to the first show. It was much appreciated and made for a great programme that better reflected tastes in new Welsh music amongst you, 'the audience', than any egocentric vehicle driven wholly by me. That was the following week's show!
So, two shows rammed to the gills with the best Welsh music of 2007. That was 6 hours straight and I still had to leave music out that I really wanted to play.
If 2008 is three quarters as good, we are in for some very, very interesting sounds.
Which is where the onus switches to you!
If you have recorded something of quality, and wish to vie for the accolade of 'demo of the week' and contribute to the first step in 2008 becoming a great year too then please send me your finest song [as a high quality .mp3] to:
themysterytour@gmail.com
Please include a short biography, details of any forthcoming gigs and / or releases, and your preferred web link.
For separate gig information, please use:
welshgigs@btinternet.com
Please tune in tonight from 10pm on BBC Radio Wales, or tune in via Listen Again on the BBC Radio Wales homepage whenever suits you over the next week.
You can also txt me during the show: 07786 20 10 40
A fabulous 3-floor Clwbfest in aid of Mind and Samaritans. Please help us spread the word! Tickets now available at www.clwb.net and Spillers record shop, the Hayes, Cardiff City Centre
Tonight's show celebrates [another] 10 years of excellent music courtesy of the Ankst[musik] record label. Label head Emyr Glyn Williams will be in our Bangor studio to talk about Radio Crymi Playlist Vol. 2, the label's excellent new compilation of music they released between 1998 and 2008. That's right, it's a compilation that includes future musik.
Bethan Elfyn will pop her head around the metaphorical door to tell us about her Radio 1 show this coming Wednesday night [midnight - 2am].
Soundhog will be in dusting down some fascinating fossils from music's past.
I will award a new Demo of the Week.
There will be an allegedly Definitive Gig Guide for Wales and the Border Areas.
And there will be plenty of excellent, new Welsh music, some of it, hopefully, e-mailed to me by you, right now as a high quality .mp3 to:
"Emily Breeze comes on like Elvis, Nick Cave and Patti Smith playing a baptist preacher rolled in to one, her striking bequiffed persona rocks,swaggers and plays holy southern hell out of a beautiful white guitar. Later on she plays songs of love and failure and the crowd goes silent.Then she cranks the neck of her guitar ,the bassist bows and the set shifts a gear into a swirling rock n roll climax. There was more sweat and energy in this rock n roll show than a hundred simpering indie boy bands". Artrocker reviewing Emily at peppermintpatti (Sept 07) "there's currently no one in Bristol playing with more sass or authority". Venue magazine Listen and marvel on www. myspace.com/emilybreeze
The world has gone very quiet since the cold snapped in.
Did you, like me, forget to antifreeze your brain?
Telfords on Friday night was quiet.
And I have only received 10-ish .mp3's of high quality, new Welsh music in time for tonight's programme.
If you have recorded something of quality, and wish to vie for the accolade of 'demo of the week', having your name carved in wood and emblazoned in gold in the foyer at BBC Wales, then please send me your finest song [as a high quality .mp3] to:
themysterytour@gmail.com
Please include a short biography, details of any forthcoming gigs and / or releases, and your preferred web link.
We're planning a Meltronica night on Jan 27th 08 at Clwb and would love to have you as part of that - with visuals too if poss. Are you interested/available? meantime:
Sorry for all the spam, Nik... but you got played -- yet again -- on the show last night and a few people had some very glowing things to say about you.
I'm looking forward to your extended piece, but this isn't any unsubtle attempt to jolly you along. I'm very happy to wait!
Tonight @ 10pm on BBC Radio Wales: DJ Fuzzyfelt brings in some musical excellence that happens to be sung in Welsh, Soundhog shakes his unfeasibly large record collection to see what falls out, Bethan Elfyn will be on the phone to give us a preview of what is coming up on her new Radio 1 show, Ectogram's Ann Matthews is our newest audio blogger, I will award a new demo of the week and talk to the unfortunate recipient, and there will be lots of new, excellent Welsh music.
