InfluencesI was also involved with 2 other bands The Balloon Farm who released one demo - the Apathy e.p that got released as a single on Melle Weller Produkte records in Germany, and as a cassette single on Elefant Records in Spain. As well as tracks elsewhere - again including Sunday.
Also recorded with a band called Dolores Haze that had singles out on Elefant & Sunday too - as well as appearing on compilations.
As far as I know there are no MySpace pages for these bands. Well, I haven't done any at least!

Various influences on all these bands...
Most notably The Smiths, The Velvet Underground & My Bloody Valentine.

A list of bands I like, and have been influenced by would be endless - from Nick Cave to Hefner, from Adam & The Ants to The Field Mice. The Fall to Big Star. Even electronica - Momus, Ladytron, Japan..

Music is so diverse. With the onset of cheap digital recording, any band can now make quality records from their own homes.
Theres always something wonderful just around the corner..


Here is the video of Betswy Song (Coming Home) that was made by friend & film-maker Gregory Pizzi in 2005.

Sounds LikeSince the term "indie" has become a redundant with it now being used to describe commercial middle-of-the-road inspid guitar bands.
Plus, we never really liked the term "shoegaze" then or now, even if it is the closest genre with lo-fi and psychedelia to our sound.

Hence the Pristines would like to intoduce a new genre of lo-gaze or GAZE-EDELIA.

   About The Pristines
The Pristines - out of Coventry, England.

Indie lo-fi guitar pop - you know the type - jangly chiming guitars with a touch of psychedelia thrown in for good measure. Or GAZE-EDELIA!!

Released 4-track tape cassette albums via fanzines in the early 90s before being asked to produce singles for the likes of Pillarbox Red records (UK) and most notably Sunday Records (USA).

Debuted with the Souls to the Devil 7" e.p for Sunday, which was quickly followed by the Kimberley Somebody single. The Pristines also appear on Sunday Records compilations and also featured on the Happy Sunday rare flexi with a cover version of labelmates They Go Boom! "She's Not My Friend".

The Pristines finest moment on Sunday was the album Teen-Fraud, Pop-Whore (part one), which still sounds as refreshing and pure today as it did when released in 1995.

Other mentions must go out to all the other labels that also put-out material be as singles, cassette-singles or on compilations. Most notably Elefant (Spain), Meller Welle Produkte (Ger), A Turntable Friend (Ger) and Sofa (Japan).

The Pristines still release CD albums today, however, no longer for Sunday but purely self-produced. "Teen-Fraud" was followed up by the equally poppy Get Caught in Showtime (2000), and the much darker & challenging 3rd album Who Put Bella in the Wych Elm? (2003). Before a whopping 17-track third album Coping: Not Coping (2005).

Recently MySpace has led to the band forming new alliances and further releases have occurred. November 2007 saw the release of a 3-track mini CDR single on the Miami based Cloudberry records, a popular & productive new label running very much in the old fanzine ethos really independent style (cloudberry 59).
Cloudberry also put a Pristines track on their 5 band e.p Nothing Matters When We're Dancing that was not available by general release but given as a handout at selective indie nights at clubs in London & Sweden.

More recent developements have seen The Pristines agree a deal with Series Two Records to release the album States of Mine in 2008.
This new album was completed in 2007 but has so far only been circulated in demo or promo format on the whole.
This album has now got a release date for 24/06/08. Orders by Paypal from Series Two - see their MySpace page.

States Of Mine (2008) - Out on Series Two Records 24/6/08 States of Mine (2008) track listing

REVIEWS FOR STATES OF MINE click here

Like most bands on MySpace, the Pristines are looking for labels willing to put out singles, albums, tracks on compilations. We have only ever been in it for the love of making music and not for the money, and collaborations with labels with the same attitude would be most welcome!
