The 7" is out in the USA on Obscurist Press (c/o Travis, PO Box 13077, Gainesville, Fl. 32604-1077, USA, obscurist.press@gmail.com) but can be bought in Europe from ex-Slampt, 24 Kyle Road, Bensham, Gateshead, NE8 2YE, send 2 pounds 50 to Pete Dale and then wait for the vinyl to plonk on yr mat. CHRONICITY IS NOW A DIFFERENT BAND: Pete is still doing vocals and guitar, but Sophie and Jeff left, sadly, so the line-up now is W.C. Schrimshaw on drums, Cath Tyler on voice and bass and Phil Tyler on extra guitar. The sound is now a little different, new recordings are planned for 2008.

ZOMES are a three piece band from Baltimore, USA, playing live at The Alexandra Vaults in Saltburn on Friday 6th March. Zomes founder, Asa Osbourne, is a member of the legendary band, Lungfish, who have 10 albums released on Washington DC's Dischord Records. Zomes sees Asa joined by sound artist Andrew Hayleck (known for his field recordings of natural ice formations) and Baltimore oil painter, Jordan Kasey. Together they create lo-fi experimental rock which sits on the spaced out and looped side of the fence.
QUACK QUACK are a three-piece prog/kraut/rock/jazz band from Leeds. No strangers to Saltburn, they performed an energetic live set to a small and pleasantly surprised audience at the Victoria in January. They have recorded a session for Huw Stephen's radio 1 show and have CD and vinyl releases on Saltburns' own 'Run Of The Mill Records' label.

BILGE PUMP have been playing their idio(t)syncratic rock for over 15 years. As well as songs appearing on 7" and compilations, Bilge have released two tape only albums and have another two albums on Nottingham's Gringo Records. Popular with the late JOHN PEEL (i.e. the best DJ ever) they recorded two Peel sessions and got plenty of airtime on his Radio 1 show.
Two piece indie rockers from Leeds, PIFCO, comprises Steve on guitar and vocals, and Mary on drums and keyboards. They write prolifically and have a CD album out on Run Of The Mill Records. Radio 1's Huw Stephens played it on his show and decided it was his album of the week. Not bad.
This takes place this Thursday! See you there? d.x.
Distraction presents Kania Tieffer, a otter-fixated Chick On Speed cacking out pleasantly disturbed lo-fi fake nonsense r'n'b and vitriolic electropop with cheap children's keyboards, a battered old computer and an electric guitar, in an unmissable live show. Support comes from sample stealing, tune pinching, melody wrecking a-moral wrong-uns and kings of nostalgia-core Radgepackets, and pointlessly hostile bootmash-noisewhore-wrongtronica idiot Dressed In Wires! Cor!
Only 4 quid in, kick-off at 8pm, find out more here!
Look! Its some spam! Hope yer doing good, take it easy. . . d.x.
The Retail Sectors new 8" square vinyl lathe in handmade packaging with download code. "They're everyone's (or should be) favourite Japanese post rock band", according to Norman Records.
Combining a Steve Reich-sense of guitar-driven melodic elements with an abstract, almost Trans-Am like dexterity, each song builds in intricacy and volume until the immaculate devastation of the drums kick in, taking off on a flight into a vast sky of loneliness. STRICTLY LIMITED TO 150 COPIES! Half have already went via pre-order, so if you want one, order now!
Tuesday 21st October - Not long to go now. It is a real treat to have the three of these bands playing together. Tickets are available in RPM as well as online at www. wegottickets. com

After a veriable famine in the North East music 'scene' where the musically adventurous and artistically driven have been forsaken in favour of the safe, the tame and the bland, Distraction present three days of aural innovation, future players, and diverse sonic excursions that right those very wrongs.
The Distraction Weekender returns. Accept no imitations.

Stars of the Lid are easily one of the most important and influential bands or our times. Read a review of any ambient or experimental band these days and you will see their name being dropped, and it’s not hard to hear why. Stars of the Lid are masters of weaving sonic textures gorgeously into beautiful, absorbing, minimalist epic drones, wavering between subtly mournful and gloriously triumphant, offering the perfect soundtrack to lucid daydreaming.
Hear Stars Of The Lid play in Newcastle in a perfect church setting for this very special show. Buy tickets now or purchase from RPM, Beatdown or alt. vinyl!
Either follow the links above or search "Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire" on iTunes.
"Produced by ¡Forward, Russia!'s Tom Woodhead, debut single A Fire Born In Dallas (released on the Pay For The Piano imprint) finds post-hardcore and prog influences welded together to create a sound that is both vulnerable and self-assured. Admittedly, the usual influences of Fugazi and At The Drive-In are worn pretty obviously, but the band are far more than mere copyists.
Indeed, at their single launch they offered an intense and impassioned performance, with snare cracks and upstrokes reverberating around the venue.
Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire, it would seem, have more than enough firepower in their sonic arsenal to kick some of the music world's feted young pretenders into touch. " The Metro
our old friends THE LODGER new single / album out on Bad Sneakers with bouncing bass and extra jangle here is their new video which is reallly nice: http://www. youtube. com/watch?v=LGQ114DPvuY
