   About junkboy

Junkboy have recently finished work on their fourth album and will be gearing up for its release and live shows in early 2010.

love for Three...

Record Collector: "a lo-fi masterpiece...a delicious brand of bedroom prog-folk...always beautifully melodic and brilliantly arranged"

Q magazine: “Mik and Rich Hanscomb make music like no others…creating symphonic pop textures…mixed somewhere between the glistening waves of the Beach Boys and the soft, pastoral lilt of early ‘70s Pink Floyd…a lovely lo-fi ambience”

Plan B: "beautiful harmonies and psychedelic country folk... near-perfect enough to almost restore the the dreaded 'mellow' adjective to respectability"

Fact magazine Album of the Week: “I'm frequently astounded by the skill that this record is put together with…where have Junkboy been all my life?”

Playlouder: “The deeper into it you get, the less you’ll want to resurface…An unexpected pleasure”

Amelia’s magazine: “quiet geniuses...the perfect fusion of nature and technology”

love for Lost Parade...

Wire magazine: “Typified by a richly arranged, wistful romanticism, Junkboy’s music effortlessly transcends its home-recorded origins, but it stays true to a bedroom ideal of inwardly directed energies. Even as the layered sophistication reaches out to incorporate muted, serpentine rhythms and dreamy acoustic melodies, at its core it sounds sealed in and personal ”

Felt Up Craft Club

THIS SUNDAY:
Photobucket

Felt Up! are hosting Brighton Zine Fest for an afternoon of workshops and talks on Zines and Craft.

We'll supply some materials but if you could bring your own glue/paper/scissors to subsidise what we have please do.

We are also continuing our pillar sock for The Freebutt which is the perfect chance to learn basic knitting. A square is all we ask, you can bring one you made earlier and we'll add it to the whole thing.
(Last time we even taught left handed knitting!!)

We will be announcing our plans for december aswell.

Much love,

Willkommen Records,Willkommen Collective,Noiserv,Woodpecker Wooliams,Redwood Red,Coachwerks,Brighton



The first Willkommen Records event at Coachwerks in
Brighton. Located just off Lewes Road, on Hollingdean Terrace, this is
a beautifully converted industrial space and now an inspiring and
spacious venue (plus they have a very cheap bar!)




Noiserv is the name given for Portugeuse musical mastermind,
David Santos. Compared to Juana Molina, David Thomas Broughton and Jose
Gonzalez, he creates a hypnotising and emotionally engaging atmosphere,
looping the sounds of the room, xylophone, guitar, melodica, harmonica
and keyboards.




Woodpecker Wooliams is a charming one woman experimentalist. With an extraordinary
bag of tricks, employing vocals, kora, celtic harp, clarinet,
harmonium, glockenspiels and whistles, she conjures bewitching freeform
lo-fi chants and sings folk songs of mystery and secrecy.




Redwood Red is Cathy Cardin. She is the feminine touch to
Willkommen favourites Sons of Noel and Adrian and Laish Quartet. With
her grounded and pure vocal delivery, she interweaves a unique
fingerpicking guitar style with double bass and flute. This is a rare
live outing for Redwood Red and one not to be missed.



Tickets available from Resident (01273 606312) or online here:

The second part of the trilogy "The Empty Circle" by The Joy of Nature, entitled «Rastos de Sangue e fragmentos da Tradição», has been now released by Ahnstern.

In this second part a lot more instruments were used and more musicians collaborated, like R. Coutinho, B. Ardo (Sangre Cavallum), Rui Almeida (Massa Última), Triarca, Mara Neves and M.J.


Not only a reaction against the modern world, but an alternative to this post-modern world.

Sigo muy preocupada con todo este tema,
y ya han pasado meses...

No comprendo que pretende,
ni cuales son sus verdaderas motivaciones,
la verdad, cada dia entiendo menos el susodicho Experimento 2.0,
pero aunque no me llame y
no sepa nada de él...
siempre apoyaré a mi hijo
incluso en una locura como esta.

Muchas gracias por estar ahí.
*Arriba te dejo una img de mi hijo
x si no sabes quien es.

Whalebone Polly is a duo made up of Kate Staples of This is the Kit and Rachael Dadd of The Hand and their music has much in common with those groups - rippling banjos, warm harmonies and odd percussive interludes.

Rozi Plain has played with Francois and the Atlas Mountains and has had records released by the Fence Collective. Her songs are sumptuous and charming.

Rowan Coupland amassed a mini-choir for his last Willkommen show at the Sanctuary - who knows what he’s got in store for us next?
