The Three Ages of Elvis are a cracking3-piece band who've recently been bigged up in Artrocker and Organmagazines. And rightly so, they rock, they roll, and they're one ofthe most entertaining bands you'll see, mainly because they seem tobe having so much fun!
Stuart Anthony has almost finishedalbum #2, and has had some great reviews for his debut, 'theColourful Truth' out last year. Influenced by Tim and Jeff Buckley,Nick Drake, and with a hint of Noel Gallagher, he crafts somewonderful acoustic gems.
The Unwashed Mass. Paul Neafcy used toplay in local legends Beef Sharky, and frankly, that should be enoughto get you to see him. The Brian Blessed of Lancaster's music scenesays this about himself: "The Unwashed Mass is a surly wasterwith a guitar. It sits in squalor and thinks about doing greatthings, like fashioning wigs from shredded wheat, but never getsaround to actually achieving anything. If you want to hear thevacant, echoing sound of apathetic inertia barrelling through emptypipe-dreams, listen up!"
Benni Beard – Benni was going to beplaying this one with the full band (Lexico), but line-up changesmean he's doing it solo again! A big hit the last time he played anOoR, make sure you get down early and don't miss him!
Tonight (14/11/08) will see a solo LITTLE HERO show at the County Bar, Lancaster Uni supporting SHE NEVER SLEEPS and SUPER HOT ROBOT. i'll be on around 9 i would think. Thursday 20th November sees a rare LITTLE HERO BAND show with Ben McCabe and Rich Turner. We're on last so probably around 11pm. Also on the bill are UNCLE JEFF, ORPHANS and BENNI BEARD.
Dean McPhee - erstwhile Lancastrian, now living in Yorkshire, coming back with his trademark Telecaster/Fender amp/reverb-laden sound and melodic mostly-written, partly improvised pieces of custom psych-drone pickery. A ne 7" single on World In Winter records out very soon. Sam & the Plants - Sam has released several great records/cds on Mr Tastemaker Andy Votel's Twisted Nerve label. Playing old keyboards, beaten up classical guitars and instruments that look like zithers he's made himself, he creates a shambling lo-fi sound all his own. Often very beautiful, always with a sense of humour and humility. David A Jaycock Quartet - Playing with long-time collaborater Andrew Preston, David shares the instruments about, vintage guitars/synths/banjo/lap steel etc. Now with a great drummer and a cellist too! Having released two fantastic albums on Red Deer Club Recordings, DAJ is a most respected new-folk figure who creates an other-worldly cinematic minimalist ambience it's a pleasure to be let in on. Dan Haywood's New Hawks - Dan Haywood possesses one of the most original and achingly personal voices in music today (both his physical voice and his narrative voice). The New Hawks are an ambitious suite of songs all taking place within a specific time and place. Dan has assembled a strange but talented collection of musicians to fulfill this most special project.
