The deirdres say yes to poor harmonies and communal clapping

"I don't mean to be crude, but are you all shagging?" Christine Ponsford - Area Manager of Sportsworld
"A seven piece from Derby who claim to specialise in "poor harmonies and communal clappiing", The Deirdres mess around with glockenspiels, tamborines, kazoos, violins, and something called a zube in the pursuit of a good time. Imagine the best bits of Architecture In Helsinki, The Hidden Cameras and every band you've clapped along to like an over-excited five year old. If they're half as fun as their demos, we're in for a treat."
The association of life for the disabled (ALD) announced in a recent statement that the glamorisation of oversized glasses by the Deirdres has opened a new chapter for the dysfunctional.
They also have a brand NEW single out on the 17th of November 2008. The deirdres are eggstatic to be the 20th release of super duper record label Cherryade.
Milk Is Politics/Sir Michael Of Aspel will be released on snowy white vinyl and will be available through all good record shops (distributed by Cargo) and on iTunes, and it is available to pre-order at www.cherryademusic.co.uk.
With all our thanks, tears and spoons to Ryan Owen and Alex Skinner for being just swell..
Here's the video of said single..

Imagine 1 in 10 songs on the radio being an artist/band that have yet to have a UK top 20 album and are from the area that the radio station is broadcast.
There are thousands of bands in the UK that get no radio coverage and deserve some. Hearing a local band on the radio will increase the amounts of people going to their gigs and help the struggling pubs and venues.
We think it will do a lot more than this. It will create music scenes, a diversity in what each region listens to, bands that are well known and well heard in one area but are still very unkown in another. It will create communities again.
Wouldn't we like this? Wouldn't we like a slightly different scene from area to area? would this create a better community spirit?
If you think so, please sign the petition below and spread the word.
a welcome return to the eclectic mix of acts that first marked out nappy rash collective as something different on the derby music scene… basically lets all have a big fucking party with live bands - the deal is simple you keep coming to them so we can keep doing them...
