Tip toe records presents a rather special rare show at the black swan pub in the heart of York. Live music from:
TEN combine electronic keys and percussion with the acoustic sounds of glockenspiel and a string quartet to create a beautiful sound-scape that moves from slow, eery and melancholic to pulsating and optimistic. "Cloud-filled electronic pulse" Terrascope www.myspace.com/tenthegreat
RED TREES red trees folk music belongs to and reflects their natural surroundings, they shade their melodious ease with a melancholy sense of nostalgia and longing.' ,,www.myspace.com/redtrees2
really looking forward to getting my hands on the new album. we've added a band called FTSE 100 to the manchester gig now - most of them use to be in a band called Burnst if you knew them?
Did you have a look to the video? I sent the link to Mike via email and Steven via Facebook, I think I'm going to change a couple of things, but let me know what do you think about it so far!Cheers guys Marcantonio
P.S keep in touch for the gig on the 14th of November, I'll try to sort that out asap as well!
Sorry for not replying to your message, its got lost in all the junk! I am going to try sort something out for sure! I have been travelling Asia / Europe so busy getting things back on track...
