   About The Slow Cones

The unique M5 Axis sound, carefully honed after many minutes of deep thought, reflects the long and diverse musical backgrounds of the four Slow Cones. At times happy, at times melancholy, the spiky, raucous yet melodic and surprisingly subtle guitar based rock will really get you moving and singing. How far and what is up to you…...

The Slow Cones are from the M5 Axis - Wellington - Taunton - Bristol

The New Root





Apr 20 2008 10:16 AM

Hi There - we haven't been in touch for a while.

Just to let you know about an extra-special New Root gig on Saturday 31st May @ The Croft, Bristol.

We're doing a headline set featuring Visual Projections from VJ James Bragg and everyone gets a FREE copy of our new 'Sick of Me' EP on the door. Venue Magazine described it as '...an extraordinary sound...a sort of power pop/goth/rock opera hybrid...the most exhilarating thing we've heard all week'.

There also support from Sally-Anne Langton - 'one of Bristol's most promising singer/songwriters' - plus Special Guests. All for £5. You can buy tickets in advance from www.thenewroot.com

Thanks and hopefully see you there on Sat 31st May!

Hi slow cones
The Maybes have been nominated Best Myspace Act at the Danish Music Awards (which is a pretty big deal in Denmark). We’d really like to put that shiny statuette on our mantle piece back home. Please throw a bunch of votes in our direction at www.myspace.com/danishmusicawards before Sunday and tell all your friends to do the same.

Thanks a million votes from No and the Maybes!

Dig the video Slow Cones!

a bit "Firestarter": if Top Of The Pops still existed and you got on it, take it from us, it'd be banned instantly.

our children are scared of you

I love that tune tho

cheers slow cones!

sorry to hear about your WAG injury...

like the songs, a bit of a Wreckless Eric vibe going on there! Like "Jimmy.." especially.

good to see you're taking the SC rock and roll machine out on the road, even if it is only to Nailsea.

regards to all
