SUICIDAL BIRDS
The Suicidal Birds from the Netherlands make a welcome return to the Yorkshire House, after playing at LAWM a while back.
They've been regularly played/done sessions for various BBC Radio and XFM shows.
Formed
in Friesland, Holland a year ago, Suicidal Birds consists of Jessie on
vocals/screaming/guitar, Chay on bass guitar/vocals, Sido on guitar and
Roel on drums.
Armed with out-dated self-made amps, the 'Birds
(the name inspired by the frequent number of birds flying into the
window of singer Jessie's house) create a sound they call 'punk blues
with a rock and roll flavour.'
Citing the likes of The Pixies
and The Gun Club as inspiration, Suicidal Birds self-proclaimed
'sound-orgy' is described by the band as 'treacherously playful,
exciting and inescapable... deeply rooted in the blues combined with
the energy of punk.'
What Huw Stephens Said About Suicidal Birds
PONY PACK (also from the Netherlands)
'Pony
Pack are a three-piece, consisting of a energetic drummer who tries
(and fails at times) to control his Bonham-isms, a Juno-esque bass
player who stands and commands and a guitarist whose sylvan movements
and effortless rug-cutting motions are drawn from the classic tradition
of Rock and Roll. I’m betting he really likes James Williamson [Raw
Power era Stooges], which of course is fine by Incendiary. Pony Pack
are entranced by the old Harlot/Mother Goddess idea that underpins the
tradition of classic Rock Entertainment. Feedback, speed-drenched
blarts of noise and throwing shapes of course abound. (Incendiary
Magazine)
UNCLE JEFF (Lancaster)
They say: "Quirky pop, with
dirty guitars and lyrics which are sometimes surreal and sometimes
quite frank about life." I say, yes, effortless melodies, honest
lyrics, and a cracking band.
NIAMH STARKEY (Lancaster)
"In
her words her three piece band would do some ‘ambient loop things’ but
it got less ambient as it developed. Layers of guitar, wonderfully
supple basslines and half-familiar riffs created the sound of Mogwai
covering Joy Division. From these beginnings Niamh, bassist Old Etonian Tory fuckpig on
his first outing with the band, and drummer Harvey improvised subtly
and to great effect." The Lunecy Review
