And the other day…


Photobucket


we're on first so come early. we're gonna try something a little different than our last couple shows.
the spectre folk are from brooklyn and are all spooky goodness.
here is what boomkat say - yeah!

Spectre Folk is the solo moniker of Magik Markers' Pete Nolan, and in a form true to the scene this latest album is a hand made cdr, and guess what - it's super limited! Coming in a thin black plastic cd case (something akin to the cases you get DS games in, but thinner) this is a psychologically intense trip from the very beginning as delicately strummed guitars are led into a darkened wood and abandoned to allow the noise to abuse them rampantly. The second piece takes things down a notch with a fourteen minute jam that reminds me more of outsider rock from the 60s and 70s than anything else, but it's the other three tracks that really nail it for me with bubbling analogue synthesizer joining the guitar to create quite moving soundscapes. Awesome.

so yeah it's a monday night. we appreciate that you may be fragile after either being at green man or because you wrecked all weekend in brist-arrr. still would love it if you can make it. xoxo a

One of Bristol’s finest music venues, The Junction on Stokes Croft, needs to book up a lot of gigs really quickly. Here’s the message Bob from the Junction sent to us.


“We need more gigs so if anyone can fill any dates out of the following...

23-27th August
2-4th September
10-11th September
15-18th September
21st-23rd September
25th September
28th September
30th September

...it would be greatly appreciated so we can keep going, anything whatsoever, free hire, do it as a free gig, anything. I will also be selling a lot of stuff from cds/vinyl/dvds/books in fact anything I feel I can live without, am compiling lists this weekend. Cheers.

I've also put up a donate paypal button on the Junction's website
www. freewebs. com/thejunctionbristol as a few people said it was a good idea, I was reluctant but it's there. Cheers, Bob.”


So there you have it. Want to put on a gig at the Junction? PLEASE GO TO WWW. MYSPACE. COM/THEJUNCTIONBRISTOL AND LEAVE BOB A MESSAGE – DO NOT MESSAGE US ABOUT THIS, GO DIRECTLY TO BOB!

Also, don’t leave it too long to sort out, as Bob needs to arrange these things asap.

Good luck.

Happy Dynamic Gigging!

Hello Theo and friends!

It's always good to see promoters who are into the more esoteric local acts.
You get our (probably worthless) thumbs up!

Hi Fact Fans,

Thought we’d let you know that we played tracks by Angel Tech & Rasha Shaheen to plug your upcoming Folk House gig on Bristol Uncovered this Saturday morning on BBC Radio Bristol. You can still hear it anytime this week using the on line "Listen Again" feature on the BBC i-Player, there’s a link to it from our profile.

Happy Dynamic Living!

Hi There - we haven't been in touch for a while.

Just to let you know about an extra-special New Root gig on Saturday 31st May @ The Croft, Bristol.

We're doing a headline set featuring Visual Projections from VJ James Bragg and everyone gets a FREE copy of our new 'Sick of Me' EP on the door. Venue Magazine described it as '...an extraordinary sound...a sort of power pop/goth/rock opera hybrid...the most exhilarating thing we've heard all week'.

There also support from Sally-Anne Langton - 'one of Bristol's most promising singer/songwriters' - plus Special Guests. All for £5. You can buy tickets in advance from www. thenewroot. com

Thanks and hopefully see you there on Sat 31st May!

And, this is not music. ...so this is music.
It is not feelings either.
It is silence dedicated by the person who loves all stories.
Love for You to listen to the one that it is not likely to listen.
