   About Dead Poppies

First thing is first - this site is maintained by the Dead Poppies officially masquarading as themselves.

And time moves on. Who know where it goes hey Sandy? Well, Lexi has had another another 'mini-she' and we have got ourselves in gear for a last minute gig with fellow label artists on 9th May If you can make it would be good to see you.

Many thanks to all who have written in with kind words and comments. Keep them coming.

Keep an eye out for all of us in various guises popping up all over the show. Latest updates about Ken's forthcoming solo album is that he is still working on it and it is sounding mighty fine.

We did say that we would embrace the modern world at some stage - you can now download all of the tracks we have released on iTunes - but if you prefer the tangible, you can buy the both albums from all good record stores.

Just some things about the second album "Confidence Tricks":

"... an astounding piece of psychedelic folk... Australian singer Lexi Senior's voice is so tuneful and sexy there should be a draconian law against it [...] In short, this is one of the great psychedelic albums..." John Coleman, What's On.

"Edging ahead by virtue of being the love child of Lush's mighty 'Deluxe' & The Smiths' 'Please Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want' Wahey! A real find!" Iain Moffat, Playlouder

"They have subsumed the influences of the great and given birth to music which is provocative, invigorating and wholly their own." Bill Parry, Holding Together.

"Sound good, play good, and pretty much do everything else good." David Couchman.

"Fusing delicate folk with head-spinning west coast psych, summery pop with psychedelic noodling, this vivid set crackles with imagination..." David LLoyd, City Life.

"Another dose of loveliness from the Liverpool quintet... listen with awe as [they switch] from Lynyrd Skynyrd to Gram Parsons in a single leap." Rocksound

"..the band created a minor masterpiece..." Richard Allen, Freakbeat

"If you have a yearning for granddad shirts, bellbottoms, joss sticks, Jefferson Airplane and The Grateful Dead or have worn your Fairport Convention and Incredible String Band records wafer thin then this may just offer succour, it should also appeal to young tykes bored with the current crop of interchangeable indie rockers." Ruby Palmer, Total Music Magazine

Bring out the flowers ... Angel has come to a nasty end. She never meant to live this way - never lived more than a day.

New track 'Killing Angel' - let us know what you think as your opinion always count.
