Sounds XP Presents:
Wednesday March 5th 2008
, 18 Kentish Town Road, Camden, London, NW1 9NX
Bluegrass for beginners
Hayman, Watkins, Trout and Lee say they are "four indie kids at heart but blues, folk and country have caused us to stray from the path." The band feature Darren Hayman (Hefner, The French) on bass/vocals, Dan Mayfield (Enderby, Ellis Island Sound, The Secondary Modern) on violin, Dave Tattersall (The Wave Pictures) on guitar/vocals and Dave Watkins (Pete and the Egg, The Secondary Modern) on banjo. They say they sound like "rough and ready bluegrass! occasionally lacking in finesse and dexterity but always fun and never boring." Come and hear the results for yourself!
A must for indie and Roald Dahl fans everywhere!
I swear if I was younger and more tremulous I would have a plethora of their lines etched out on the covers of my English books. In blood. I’d be falling over myself to pledge undying adoration for this group, just as I would be falling under buses in striving to cover my love for the individual who goes for those pretty boys in the first place. But hey, that’s the magic of Pop. Isn’t it wonderful? - Unpopular
... gentle psychedelia of chilly English fields at dawn......
"They play bizzare-but-pretty English folk and this début makes us want to take our clothes off, grow hooves, become fawns and talk to trolls all day. It's the equivalent of watching Lord Of The Rings and smoking flakes of crushed butterflies" - NME
scuffling drums, fuzzed out guitar, driving bass grooves and off-kilter power-pop melodies
It's everything and more you want from an indie pop band. Well written songs, girl vocals, some jangling guitars and some lovely melodic sounds coming from the keyboards. That's all you need to know is it not? - Indie MP3
Tickets are £5 in advance via Ticketweb (link to come) or £6 on the door. Doors open at 8pm.
