Sitting at home one day, Eddie Argos and Keith Totp decided that they'd had enough of waiting for todays lazy lazy bands to make new music, with albums taking up to 2 years to make.
With this in mind, they formed Art Naif and wrote 11 songs in hour.
Roping in Dyan Valdes of popular anglo american band "Everyone Was In The French Resistance...Now" to play keyboards and Paul "Paranoid Dogbark" Kearney to play bass they got as far as recording one song into a laptop microphone before deciding that even this would take too long.
The album will be recorded at a future date at a gig, live to stereo.
THIS FRIDAY 14th March at THE HALF MOON, HERNE HILL, London SE24
Glam Chops - The Glam Rock revival starts here. ART BRUT front man Eddie Argos has formed what he describes as an ‘orthodox glam rock outfit’, an indie supergroup with David Devant, Stuffy (Graham Coxons drummer) and others (including our own Paul Guided Missile), with glittery suits, platform shoes, make up.. and all the necessary synchronized stage stomping. Live they appear with Bath’s sensational dance troupe The Panther Girls, dancing and joining in on the parts where everyone shouts out “Hey!”
Walker - South of the North come Walker, Doncaster to be precise. Impossible to talk about this band without mentioning their vast musical heritage: Past members of The Wedding Present, Beachbuggy & Future ex-Wife they pull together a noise where Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jnr. and Husker Du spring to mind but for some reason Mark Almonds camper slacker brother seems to be on vocals.
The Strategy - Garagey noise from this up and coming 4 piece from London & South Bucks. Fast paced tunes that recall the original Adam & The Antz & Buzzcocks mixed with cheeky lyrical and vocal stylings akin to The Hives.
THIS SATURDAY, 8th March at The BUFFALO BAR, London N1 8.30pm ..
LET’S WRESTLE Think Art Brut, TV Personalities, Pavement, Subway Sect, Wedding Present etc. Utterly charming and beautifully shambolic. + PARANOID DOG BARK ART BRUT front man Eddie Argos has formed what he describes as an ‘orthodox glam rock outfit’, an indie supergroup with David Devant, Stuffy (Graham Coxons drummer) and others (including our own Paul Guided Missile), with glittery suits, platform shoes, make up.. and all the necessary synchronized stage stomping. Live they appear with Bath’s sensational dance troupe The Panther Girls, dancing and joining in on the parts where everyone shouts out “Hey!” + THE JOY FORMIDABLE You can hear one of their tracks on the ad for Skins at the moment (the telly programme, not rizlas), NME compares them to YYY’s, maybe they’re a bit Breeders too? ... we dunno, but they write great, great, indie pop songs and they’re damn good looking too. Surely they’ll go far. Don’t miss them! + CRUISER CHIMPS Bearsuit’s Lisa and Iain’s side project which sounds like all the best bits of Bearsuit mixed with Melt Banana and Swell Maps! They say they “spend more time on the dance routines than they do on the songs”, so expect Top Entertainment!
Then, after midnight, enjoy: GUIDED MISSILE THE CLUB til 4am Guided Missile DJS: Val and Paul play indie classics, hot newbies, post-punk and drunken pop
