InfluencesMaybe some of the people we've played with will give you an idea where we're at:

Gigs with
The Pastels
Appendix Out
International Airport
Movietone
The Styrenes
Acid Mothers Temple
Richard Youngs
Lucky Luke
Music and Movement
Elliot Smith
Jad Fair

Bill Wells' National Jazz Trio of Scotland
Phantom Engineer

This is a very eclectic list for a band with such a monomaniac sound.

Sounds LikeLoose, ten-minutes-long, tape hiss, folky, warm, a bit like the Velvets, lonesome, a stripped-down (musically!) Galaxie 500/ Yo La Tengo, slightly blurred, like it's raining, snowing, really sunny, somewhere between the visceral and the whistleable.

   About National Park
Formed by John Hogarty and Scott Walker (guitar), Simon Shaw and Michael McGaughrin joined when forced into becoming a real band after being offered a gig at the Pastels' club Illumination with Future Pilot AKA. After nine under-achieving years and seven records, the lineup is now John, Simon, Gerard Love playing guitar and the incredible Eilidh Rodgers on drums. With John moonlighting earlier in the year for Simon's band (Lucky Luke) and lately Music and Movement, plans are afoot for some new National Park shows/ recordings.

More tracks can be heard at: nationalparksite.com

and you can see National Park videos on http://www.youtube.com/yieldrecordings.

MONOTONIX
Saturday 28th November
Nice n Sleazys, Glasgow

The release of their new album tops off a whirlwind year of touring, the infamy surrounding their charged live perfomances steadily mounting. Rightly so, check out this youtube link- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmEHu-QAgNE&feature=related - and marvel at one of the typically unpredictable gigs of the band that Spin have declared the "most exciting live band in rock'n'roll."

Perhaps the rarest precious gem from MOONDOG's treasure chest of sonic delights 'Tell It Again' is released now on POPPYDISC.
This 1957 lost classic album features an unlikely but wonderful collaboration with the legendary Julie Andrews.
The album's reissue was supervised by Moondog fanatic Duglas T Stewart and sound reproduction has been lovingly remastered by Norman Blake.
The album is available on both vinyl and c.d. formats.

KING KHAN AND THE SHRINES
Sun 4th Oct
@ Stereo, Glasgow

We have just added
##THE BLACK RAT DEATH SQUAD##
to the bill

Support comes from
Jack of Hearts
Uncle Big Bad

"Fusing the driving stomps of classic sixties soul with the muddy yet crunchy guitars and puerile words of garage rock, King Khan & The Shrines are one of those uncommon groups who seem to live in the past and still make an attention-grabbing noise. The Supreme Genius is a retrospective of their work this century from initial 45s through to the cleaner more sophisticated efforts of their last proper album, What Is?!. Soul is certainly a key ingredient in the Shrine's psychedelic stew, though purists would balk at describing the end product as one of their own ('filthy racket' being the likely response). Fans of the 'rock 'n' soul' pedigree stretching from the Kingsmen to The Make Up and The Black Lips, however, should be more accepting, as will anyone who likes their music loud and raucous"

Times New Viking
"Rambunctious to new standards of blessed impenetrability, Ohio trio Times New Viking’s simple-on-paper M.O. is to take the sweetest of super-sweet pop music, indiefied though it is, and strip it of its outer layers of glitz and gloss. The result is music that crackles and fuzzes, screams and roars; it’s an X-Factor audition in a spin-dryer, potential sing-alongs rendered riotously raw through purposeful deconstruction."

Hello,

North Atlantic Oscillation's "Hollywood Has Ended", from the forthcoming album Grappling Hooks, is featured in this month's Police Box compilation from TenTracks. It's here:

http://www.tentracks.co.uk/channel/the-police-box/the-police-box-april-09

In case you haven't heard, TenTracks is a new music delivery service where you can buy exclusive 10-track compilations for £1, i.e. a mere 10p per track.

This month NAO are in the illustrious company of the excellent Found, Orkestra Del Sol, Fence Collective luminaries James Yorkston and King Creosote and exactly 5 others. Once again, that's £1 for ALL TEN TRACKS. Not bad, really.

Hey there!

If you're out enjoying The Zombies tonight and fancy some more top soft pop why not pop along to the The Twisted Wheel where Australia's The Crayon Fields will be serving up their own brand of gentle, literate pop?
