Hello and I hope you like the songs. Things are good in the world of Delaplane. Plenty of gigs, radio stuff and reviews. The beard keeps growing although the hair on top keeps thinning. My loops still make me smile as do all the suggestions of names for my Euphonium from people at gigs.
Timothy X Atack sometimes comes to join me at gigs with his magic fingers on the piano and harmonium and magic voice. Yes, thats him down there on Postcards. I also have the pleasure of singing with him on 'Star and Garter, 3am' by 'The Heath Robinson'.
I've got 2 EPs now. 'Men Dressed as Titans' (which doesn't really represent what I do anymore but I still like it) and 'Mandibular Seetmeats' which is full of looping loveliness.
A highly recommended EP - The Fly
Described as a fascinating set and a superbly produced EP - Blues Matters
Hopefully there will be another EP very soon once I've worked out what colour to make the cover. I think it might be yellow.
In 2008 I collaborated with Henrik Dahle and Nathan @BeneathTheBed to write music for the play 'The Last Line'. I also wrote music for an Arts And Health video for Bristol City Council.

'A butterfly circles overhead as vaguely ecclesiastical choral looping opens the wonderfully hirsute Delaplane's set of comfortingly morbid narratives made splendid with euphonium, guitar and glockenspiel' - Venue Magazine review of Ashton Court gig

Fresh from their show at Barcelona's Primavera festival, Teeth Mountain will be unleash their heavy concoction of new-wave tribal psychedelic sounds on Cube, using driving percussion like other bands use guitars.
Deep, thick layers of rhythms and overlays of ambiance, from the gritty to the sublime, this eight-piece outfit create a controlled mayhem of weighty neo-tribal trance music, part Indian, part African, part Balkan, and part Baltimore, that transforms consciousness and carries the group and their listeners to higher states.
The Wire magazine recently praised their 'refusal to acknowledge any kind of destination point for their jamming, achieving a convincing state of suspension throughout, helped by some engagingly forceful drumming.'
Teeth Mountain pummel with noise and drums but are always inviting and joyous, a new wave of tribal sounds in underground music. Be prepared to witness a heady, peyote-voodoo brew, getting you out of your seats and on your feet. Teeth Mountain will enthrall you in a rhythmic, musical spell.

Icy Demons is an experimental music project started by Bablicon's Griffin Rodriguez (credited as Blue Hawaii) and Man Man / Need New Body's Christopher Powell (Pow Pow). A project of various Chicago musicians, they have released three albums, Fight Back! on the Elephant 6-associated label Cloud Recordings. Tears of a Clone on the Eastern Developments Music, and in 2007 Miami Ice on Easel (Japan release only).
Hi Stanton, how are you? Not managed to see you play for ages, but am pleased to say myself and a group of friends will be at 2000 Trees! We're celebrating a mate's 40th so should be a good one. Let's Tea Party and Babel from Bristol are also playing. See you then if not before.
Congratulations Daddy Delaplane! Obviously far more importantly, I enjoyed your starring role in Casualty last night. Did you have a stunt double for the 'pushing the button' moment? Hi to the lovely wife and Gollum. x
hey stanton,
its been a while. Hope you are well my friend, pretty smooth time here in jolly London Town.
It took me ages, but I finally finished my album!
I uploaded it for a free listen on last.fm. If you fancy, have a listen and tell me what you think about it, you can find it at this link:
or just on last.fm if you digit 'trent miller & the skeleton jive' (for some reasons if you digit only 'trent miller' nothing comes out, still have to figure out how it works...)
I also worked on a proper release on my Hangman Records label, I think I will sell it at gigs and via post, it is a very limited edition of 500 copies.
Just writing to let you know about the arrival of another new album from misophone- I sit at open windows, on another-record. (another-record.com, myspace.com/anotherrecord) Due out on May 5th.
The album contains 12 unreleased songs, including the previously lost archive tracks ‘castles in the sand’ & ‘cow bell blues’.
