GeneralMary moonlights by drumming in D'astro. Ste moonlights by singing in Cowtown.
MusicThe Fall, Pavement, Shellac, Herman Dune, Velvet Underground, Beachbuggy, Stereolab, Captain Beefheart, Pet Shop Boys, Black Sabbath, early pj Harvey, Gallon Drunk, Deerhoof, Scott Walker, Chinese Stars, Ventures, Truman's Water assorted soul and disco of the 60s and 70s. It has occurred to me that this list is not sufficiently obscure to make us sound cool so here's some more. See if you can guess which ones I made up: Bilge Pump, Cleckhuddersfax, David Broughton, Quack Quack, Vialka, Beards, Printed Circuit, the Stain Removers, Calvin Johnson, Frank Sidebottom, Apatt, Jack and the Flaps, Mucky Sailor, Judas Priest, Grabba Grabba Tape, I Can't Believe It's Not Better, Lords, Half Man Half Biscuit, Frogs die in hot spas, Goblin.
MoviesI saw a good one called 'The Tingler' which has got Vincent Price in. He was trying to extermininate the aforementioned creature which looks a bit like a lobster, but is detered by the sound of screaming. It tries to get you when you're asleep. No one else seems to have seen it though, so I think I may have imagined it. The following are also good: Consequences Of Love, American Movie, Billy Liar, Brazil.
TelevisionChucklevision, Henry's Cat, original Star Trek.
BooksKurt Vonnegut and Bukowski are good. Ste likes William Burroughs, but ultimately I reckon you're best sticking with 'The Twits' by Roald Dahl. That way at least if someone asks you what it's about you might be able to give them a reasonable answer.
HeroesHeroes have a nasty habit of disappointing you. They generally turn out to be wife-beaters or scientologists. In the worse cases they release vile solo singles in the 80s - that means you Fergal Sharkey!

About me:
This page has no music on it because I wasn't smart enough to sign us up as a band and they won't let us change. We've set up another page though, which you can get to by clicking Pifco in our top friends, which has some tunes on. Pifco are a two piece from Leeds consisting of Stephen/Ste (guitar, vocals) and Mary (drums, keyboards). We like to make a noisy racket in our cellar and then inflict it on the general public whenever possible. We are named after the manufacturer of fine electrical products so don't tell them in case they decide to sue. In the event of this scenario we may have to change it to 'Ronco'. We like playing gigs of a DIY bent - none of that crap with a ticklist on the door. We also like Oz the TV series, making collages out of cardboard, and attractive knitwear. Forthcoming gigs: 23rd April at the Packhorse, Leeds
Who I'd like to meet:
Mary: Illya Kuryakin, Sheriff John Burnell I'd imagine that Ste would probably like to meet Steve Albini but might be too scared.

Hey, hows it going?

This week is a momentous week for Trail. We have released a track from our upcoming album "To The Rest of The World" called "Prism". It is now available via iTunes, Amazon and via SMS in the UK. Text "Track 3852" to 83262 and a reply will tell you how to download to your computer. We are obviously working hard to get up as high as possible in the charts so any help will be very much appreciated!

Also, we have out new youtube video!



Please let us know what you think! And thanks again for your continued support for our music!

Hello. Please do delete this comment if you so wish.

We're just making sure that everyone knows that our debut album 'Horses For Courses' is available to buy from our little record label's online shop:

http://www.donttellclare.co.uk/shop.htm

Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.

International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.

Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.

Lots of love
Das Wanderlust

Damo Suzuki is a legend! Best known for his stint as the legendary Krautrock pioneers Can as their singer in the 70s, Damo now tours the world to hook up with the best of local musicians to produce stunning sets of improvised music. We cannot stress how good this will be enough - you’ve never experienced anything like a Damo Suzuki show before, even if you’ve been to a Damo Suzuki show before! This extra special show will see Damo backed by the collective brilliance that is Quack Quack and Napoleon IIIrd.


Quack Quack simply the best live band Forest of Sound have ever seen - so much energy, so much musical invention, so much skill... well, it's almost obscene.


One man empassioned alt-pop legend with his reel-to-reel tape player, Napoleon IIIrd is a man of skewed melodies, bouncing beats and a big bucket of inventiveness... and is simply ace.


Friday: 13/3/2009 @ The Brudenell, Leeds. Doors 7.30pm.
A Forest of Sound presentation. £6 adv / £7 on the door.
Tickets available at Jumbo Records, Crash Records, and We Got Tickets.

Charlie Parr is from the same Duluth music scene that spawned the likes of Low and Haley Bonar, and his music delves deep into the back roads of American folk music, there’s hints of Robert Johnson, Nick Drake and Will Oldham in his playing, and a true from the heart power and clarity that is simply stunning. This guy is the real thing, and you can hear it in every note he plays, which would also explain why the people at the superb End of the Road festival ask him back every single year!

Neil McSweeney plays beautifully considered and perfectly restrained music that will delight fans of Low, Adrian Crowley, Nina Nastasia, Mark Kozelek, and Jason Molina.

Deftly fingerpicked folk loveliness from a local favourite - Michael Rossiter perfectly executes traditional folk as well as his own material, sings from his heart and gets the perfect sound from his guitar.

Sunday: 1/3/2009 @ The Packhorse, Leeds. Doors 8pm.
A Forest of Sound presentation in association. £5 adv / £6 on the door.
Tickets available at Jumbo Records, Crash Records, and We Got Tickets.

WEIRDO GUISE PRESENT...

Wavves Straight outta California on their first ever tour. You’ll feel like a frisky 19 year at some awesome beach party as their blown-out, catchy as hell pop washes into your ears. Touring as a duo, but really the brainchild of some 22 year old, you’ll find Wavves records out on De Stijl, Tic Tac Totally and Woodsist. There’s some Doo Wop, JAMC, No Age stuff going on here.
Pens Three young girls outta London, who have a real knack for writing total tunes. On tour with Wavves, they also have an LP coming out the on De Stijl in the US following a sold out tape and 7″. Easily one of the best new UK bands.
Mazes So the new crop of UK bands are here, fitting with all the killer stuff coming out of America right now and these kids have gone and written some of the best songs of the whole bunch. As well as all that stuff and some Pavement, they’ve also got an ear open to the likes of Swell Maps and Television Personalities. From Manchester, this will be their first show.
Hipshakes Fastest, trashest band you’ll ever see. From their chaotic live show, you’ll just make out some real snappy pop gems under their tinnitus triggering wall of guitar noise. Just out of their teens and have already released an LP - with a 2nd on the way and 8 7″ singles, one on the Black Lips own label, another on an Oblivians Goner imprint - yeah they’re a Garage Punk band!

SAT 28TH FEB. AT THE FENTON, LEEDS. DOORS 7.30PM.
ENTRY IS FIVE POUNDS

Hauschka
Having studied classical piano for ten years, Dusseldorf-based pianist/composer Volker Bertelmann's work as Hauschka is based upon a playful exploration of the possibilities of the 'prepared' piano. His resulting tracks are vivid, unconventional pieces made in a spirit of playful research-enthusiasm, which he's taken around the world - in the USA with Múm, in Japan with Colleen, and a debut, sold-out London show with Max Richter. Hauschka's music is a thing of beauty - intertwined melodies and rythyms that flit between gorgeously lush and complex and stunning minimalism.

Gareth S. Brown
With influences as diverse as Eastern European folk music, funeral marches and jewellery boxes, Gareth creates gorgeous work of layered beauty with nods towards Philip Glass, Terry Riley and Michael Nyman as well as latter day travellers such as Max Richter, Yann Tiersen and Aphex Twin.

Saturday: 8/11/2008 @ The Holy Trinity Church, Leeds. Doors 8.30pm.

A Forest of Sound presentation. £5 adv / £7 on the door.
Tickets available at Jumbo, Crash & We Got Tickets.
