Like airborne weed seeds, Marble Valleys new CD Slash & Laugh will take root and thrive in your audio garden. Steve West (ex-Pavement,Silver Jews) and his multi-national sextet convened in Amsterdam where they recorded at Island Studios. The english, dutch and american coalition have created the most polished Valley CD to date. Slash & Laugh is both " Together "and " out there " at the same time. Expect lots of groovy Indie with lovely lyrics.
Slash & Laugh will be released August fourth on Indikator Rekords and Sea Records.

Hello folks! Just a quickie to alert you to the forthcoming Please Please You fun we have planned in York.
At The Basement...........
Firstly, Friday night we have a great folk/country/blues show. Time Lag Recording artists Elephant Micah is headlining with his ace lo-fi country-folk songs. He was the recent tour support for Jason Molina which gives you an idea of his style. Last record was described by The Wire as "A beautiful slice of narcoleptic folk that captures the lugubrious nothing-to-do feel of late summer days as well as the slow motion dance of dust in a ray of sunlight." Yup.

Also on sale now:
Everyone To The Anderson + Lebanons. Tues. 2nd Sept. 8pm, £5. (Quality post hardcore from Brighton/Tunbridge Wells!)
