DEEPER AND FARTHER...

Influences

This is not a comprehensive list, that would take too long... These are just the artists which I can say for sure made me want to make music:

Public Image Ltd, X, Television, Echo & the Bunnymen, Patti Smith, The Smiths, Throwing Muses/Kristin Hersh, The Doors, Scott Walker, The Damned, The Cult, Nico, Talk Talk, Syd Barrett, The Stooges, David Bowie (69-80), and the Sex Pistols (without whom there would be nothing).

The records over which Carl and I first bonded musically, as it were:

Public Image Ltd - Album, New Model Army - Thunder & Consolation, The Smiths - The Queen is Dead, Throwing Muses - The Real Ramona, Loop - Fade Out, Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden, The Damned - The Black Album.

Lyrically, I'm more influenced by non-musical stuff, such as words, thoughts, feelings, and so forth. Morrissey, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen are very good. Mark Hollis, Nick Cave and Richard Butler are OK too. And Matt Johnson was a genius on "Soul Mining", then what happened?

The music of Scott Walker, Vaughn-Williams, Beethoven, Elgar, Handel and Prokofiev. The art of Lee Miller, Spike Milligan, Jim Morrison, and Grace Slick. The films of Kubrick, Tarkovsky, Pabst, Curtiz, Preminger, Friedkin, Hitchcock, Herzog, Polanski, Ken Russell, Derek Jarman, Alan J. Pakula, David Lynch, Peter Weir, Richard Attenborough, Peter Greenaway, Andrew Birkin, Donald Cammell, Bernardo Bertolucci, Jim Jarmusch. The words and images of William Blake. The prose of D.H. Lawrence, Dostoyevsky, Daphne du Maurier, Mikhail Bulgakov, Thomas Mann, Mervyn Peake, Truman Capote, Dorothy Parker, Genet, Sartre, John Irving, Elizabeth Wurtzel. The poetry of Shakespeare, Milton, Coleridge, Byron, Baudelaire, Charlotte Mew, Rilke, Rimbaud, Verlaine, Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton. Anything Bloomsbury, especially the writings of Virginia Woolf and the paintings of Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant. The paintings of Caravaggio, da Vinci, Goya, Dali, Carrington, Marc Chagall, Christiane Kubrick, Banksy, Holly Warburton and Miriam Vlaming. The folk of Anne Briggs, Karen Dalton, Shirley Collins, Sandy Denny, and the Holy Voice of Linda Thompson. The television of Stephen Fry, David Attenborough and Michael Palin. The existential musings of Katiejane Garside, Suzanne Andrade, Bella Ward and my Dad. London, Berlin, Paris, Hamburg, Sussex, just now. The 12 Bar.

   About Subterraneans

..
Arise and drink your bliss, for everything that lives is holy...

"A mind-bending, heart-breaking, awe-inspiring missile of sound" - Time Out

"Dazzling, triumphant..." - The Lock, Camden

"Subterraneans are that most precious of things, a truly existential rock'n'roll band with a heart and a soul" - Varsity

"Against you I will fling myself, unvanquished and unyielding" - Virginia Woolf

Subterraneans can swallow landscapes and swill down sunsets, or grapple the whole Earth with hoops of steel. They have never skipped a pulse beat over what others think. Each of their records creates a world of it’s own. They do not do as others do. Only their silence is painful.  

It’s hard to believe that they’re only a rock group.

 

"No" live at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, 28th March 2007, courtesy of Will Wilson (thanks Will!)

 

"Arise and drink your bliss, for everything that lives is holy" - William Blake

Subterraneans formed in London (which is important) in 1992 (which isn't). They were formed by singer and songwriter Jude Rawlins, and guitarist Carl Homer. Jude used to be in Angelhead. Carl used to be in Wave. They were joined by bassist Robin Phillips (ex-Solstice) and Guy Evans (Van der Graaf Generator). They started their own label, The Electric Label, in 1993, having wasted a year of their precious time (which they still want back) squandering themselves on Sony. The rest is history. What matters more is the music, and Subterraneans don't need to make any big claims about that, you can hear for yourself, in fact you're probably listening right now. 

Thank you for listening right now.

Do you have that CD? (it's off of 'still standing still' - the EP I put out a few yrs ago)
