videos for JESUS DOESN'T LIKE ME & KING OF ENGLAND
After the Candyskins called it a day, Mark Cope guitarist and backing singer with the previously signed Geffen band, decided to leave his native Oxford and move out to another university town, Boston. While based here Mark chose to take some of the songs that had been bouncing round his head and record them in an alien format to the guitarist. With Electronica and computers the start of what would become Mark's first solo collection of songs called "Copey" would emerge.
After much pressure from fellow Oxford musicians, Mark returned to Oxford and decided to enlist some help and form a live band. After 10 shows, and 8 ex cowboys, he arrived at the line up as it is now. Currently being touted in the local press as an Oxford Super Group, these include Ady Davey on guitar, Maria Ilett on bass and Richie Wildsmith on drums.
ITS THE OLD STORY BOY meets girl, girl meets boy; their eyes meet across a crowded tube train carriage, there is a tinkle of romantic piano and gently sweeping strings and hearts and minds are set in emotional turmoil . But this is no everyday case of love at first sight. The boy is a suicide bomber, the girl just one of his unsuspecting victims. Can love save the day? In his head hes telling her it wont hurt, wont leave a scar. Dont get closer to me, he implores; hes worried about what his parents would think if they knew. The music carousels as confused thoughts spin through the boys mind. The last thing you hear is an explosion.
Welcome to Mark Cope's world of love and romance.
MARK COPE IS NINE STONE Cowboy and Closer is the standout track on his debut EP, Son Of Elvis, released this month.

NINE-STONE COWBOY
‘Jesus Christ’
(Download only)
“Jesus H Christ, I fucked up my life / But at least
I’m not as bad as others out there.”
It’s worth hearing each new Nine-Stone Cowboy
single for the lyrics alone. Mark Cope writes, and
sings, with the air of a hungover and considerably
less wealthy Paul McCartney, his songs full of
life’s losers and world-weary, through-a-glassdarkly
observations. ‘Jesus Christ”s cast of
characters includes Bloody Mary and Norman
Abnormal (who stirs TCP into his cup of tea)
and, in characteristic NSC style, circles pensively,
all solitary piano stabs and squelchy lo-fi
electronics, before gathering its Dutch courage for
a rousing finale that takes in heroic brass and full
gospel backing chorus. It’s pop as a metaphor for
the defiant faded glamour of a neglected seafront
café; it’s ‘Eleanor Rigby’ by way of The
Candyskins’ ‘Mrs Hoover’; it’s loser rock in the
noble lineage of Arthur Turner’s Lovechild? The
closing verse is a pearl: “Jessica’s speeding home,
clutching her mobile phone / Camera and MP3 /
She loves technology / Look here comes a tree.”
Toddler-simple but delivered with lachrymose glee
and the sort of pop nous that money can’t buy.
