"Balkan-influenced mania to make even the scurviest of sea dogs heave and haul those oars. Their virtuously raw songs turn Scotland’s capital into a Balkan fairytale of fog swept docks and drunken tangos.” - The Skinny "Proficient Greek/ Polish folk act Fanattica recreate an authentically rowdy continental wedding party"- The List Fanattica @ Henry’s cellar bar Edingrad Saturday 28th November £5
FRIZZ RECORDS is proud to announce our second official LP release...
"Modern Mediaeval" is the third LP from singer-songwriter DAVID GARSIDE, and the first to receive the full Frizz Records vinyl treatment. It’s also clearly the most fully-realised statement of his distinctive vision so far…
It’s an easy route to locate David in the tradition of his ‘classic’ rock, pop & soul influences (McCartney, Nick Drake, Stevie Wonder, Joni Mitchell, The Beach Boys, Love, Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel, Dexy’s…), but there are few songwriters working today that have absorbed these This is ’singer-songwriter’ music in the sense that it’s focus is on song-craft and the unfolding of the lyrical vision of a single individual, but if so then it’s definitely at the sophisticated end of the scale (’progressive’ if that term isn’t too loaded…), filed alongside ‘Bryter Layter’, ‘The Hissing Of Summer Lawns’, ‘Pretzel Logic’ or ‘Surf’s Up’...another FRIZZ RECORDS instant classic! "Modern Mediaeval" can be downloaded now from the iTunes Store (http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=319307665&s=143444)
The album is also available on heavyweight vinyl LP in a sumptuous gatefold sleeve, or on Digipack CD from the FRIZZ online shop (http://www.frizzrecords.com/?page_id=5&view_type=default&product_search=modern+mediaeval&search=Search) ...& all good retailers
FRIZZ RECORDS is proud to announce our first official LP release...
"It's Not The Wand, It's The Magic" is the debut release from AUGUST, the London based band centred around the songwriting partnership between vocalist VEDINA MOSE and multi-instrumentalist / producer RAPHAEL MANN (MR HUDSON / JOY JOSEPH / ART TERRY), with master drummer CLEAN CUT MARK and clarinetist / vocalist MAREE CHOIE completing the core line-up, and a supporting cast including ART TERRY (keyboards), SHOHEI KAWAMOTO (AKA Japanese producer Baraki, Bass clarinet, soprano sax and flute), and KAI HOFFMAN (French horn)
Always an act that juggled a diverse set of influences, the album has been compared to artists as diverse as KATE BUSH, PRINCE, DE LA SOUL, SLY STONE, MADLIB, SERGE GAINSBOURG and THE DELFONICS, for its concoction of wild experimentation and traditional song craft, organic production and futuristic electronic touches, funk bass & drums and jazz & orchestral references, infectious melodies and lyrical flights of fancy...with nods towards classic soul, JB funk, Studio One, 60s pop, psychedelia, left field hip hop, new wave, doo wop, tropicalia, high life, & avant garde jazz, without any song ever fitting squarely into any of those categories...new music, basically...and an instant classic!

FRIDAY 6th JUNE IS THE LAST AMPBOX!! yep, its almost over.
we've played a lot of different takes on dance music over the months, but for the last one we wanted to book straight up party DJs that we knew would have the place jumping. we've been thinking about it a long time and done just that-
* ZOMBIE DISCO SQUAD (Get Rude, London) * PRO-VINYLIST-KARIM (Rub-A-Dub, Glasgow) * JOHN M. J. FARRUGIA (Big Toes HiFi, Edinburgh)
Expect Baltimore Club, Ballie Funk, Hip-Hop, Bassline, Dancehall, Booty Bass, Electro Crunk, Ghetto Gutter House and other made up genres; and if all this isn't enough we're rolling in the Big Toes, 15k, badboy sound system for the occasion. If you've been down before you'll know what to expect, if not, come before you miss the chance. This is going to be one mother of a party.
@ Stills Gallery (Cockburn Street) from 7pm tickets £4 on the door / cheap beer!
The Declining Winter is a new musical project led by Richard Vincent Adams, co-founder of leftfield musical pioneers Hood - influenced by Low, The Durutti Column and York City FC.
Taking a day off from their mini-tour with ambient maestros Stars of the Lid, Adams et al visit Edinburgh to let us know about their new album, ‘Goodbye Minnesota’: an evolution of Hood’s very (northern) English electronic shoegaze, weirder than before, more claustrophobic....
Support comes from the magnificent, synth-laden 7VWWVW (aka MAMMAL), and Doogie Paul, of James Yorkston and the Athletes upright bass infamy.
Now then Magic Marker! How do? Could you please add a gig to your list for us please. We're playing at the Jazz Bar on chamber's street on 19th april. Night opens 11:30. £5/£3 on the door. Cheers John
