Fireworks at Linear Tracking Lives!

This is so cool. I had no idea the Shop Assistants were recording again. What? It’s not them?!? Oh, then surely “Runaround” is a bonus track unearthed for a reissue of Chin Chin’s ‘Under the Westway.’ Really? Strike two? Well, I thought I knew most of these wonderful fuzz-drenched bands from the mid-’80s, but the… Continue reading Fireworks at Linear Tracking Lives!

Fireworks at God is in the TV

Spanning the length of the A23, The Fireworks are Matthew (Big Pink Cake) on guitar and vocals, Emma (Pocketbooks) on tambourine and vocals, Isabel (Things in Herds) on bass and Shaun (The Wedding Present/The Popguns) on drums and additional guitar.

Fireworks at Austin Town Hall

The Fireworks are an electrifying power dream pop outfit based in London who have celebrated quite a bit of growing success already from their initial releases. They’ve put out a few singles as well as EP’s which should have already gotten your attention, but if you haven’t been formally acquainted with this group, have a… Continue reading Fireworks at Austin Town Hall

After buying tickets and sorting out arrangements, I’d contact the artist/band or their press agent and request a photo pass with… Continue reading Luxembourg Signal at Aimless Skylarking

Luxembourg Signal at Soul Kitchen

Les Luxembourg Signal sont les champions toutes catégories du grand écart. Premièrement, Beth Arzy, Johnny Joyner et Brian Espinosa (la sainte trinité du groupe Aberdeen) sont la partie américaine du projet. Quant à Betsy Moyer, elle assure le quota anglais et a posé sa voix sur les dix titres lors d’un voyage chez ses amis… Continue reading Luxembourg Signal at Soul Kitchen

Luxembourg Signal at Poet’s Sound

Οι The Luxembourg Signal αποτελούν την συνέχεια των Αberdeen με την προσθήκη μελών από Τrembling  Blue Stars. Αυτό φυσικά αρκούσε να μου κινήσει το ενδιαφέρον για το ηχητικό αποτέλεσμα της σύνθεσης αυτής. Το πρώτο single του άλμπουμ “Distant Drive” σίγουρα “δείχνει” προς την dream pop των Αberdeen, ένα εκπληκτικό κομμάτι με τα γλυκά κι αναλλοίωτα… Continue reading Luxembourg Signal at Poet’s Sound

Luxembourg Signal at Unpopular

Was there a more handsome record this year than the eponymous debut set by The Luxembourg Signal? With its icicle blue translucent vinyl and its classy, classic Saville-esque sleeve this was a record that reminded me of the magic of the physical artefact. The fact that the vinyl sold out within a breath of its release… Continue reading Luxembourg Signal at Unpopular
