What…? WHAT…!? I’m starting off the podcast by playing some Disco (or DIYSCO to be more precise). What is going on here?

Yep, it’s an upcoming release on Soft Power Records from Dublin’s Tieranniesaur. I couldn’t help it. When I first heard the track I was like, “Hmm, not sure that it really fits into the podcast” But after about the sixth listen I figured the decision had been made. Perhaps there’s some residual craving for pure unadulterated pop after the weekend’s Eurovision Song Contest. Either way, it’s not the only electronic pop in tonight’s show. There’s some synth-pop wonder from Kid Canaveral, who are playing a free gig tomorrow night at The Caves along with The Last Battle and Randolph’s Leap, and a track from the upcoming album from Capitals.

Don’t worry – there’s also some indie-pop, lo-fi, slow-core and other hyphenated genres to keep you happy.

Black Black Hills certainly grabbed attention with their street performance at TGE.

 

A Suffolk’n’Cool special from Brighton on the south coast of England. We’re here for three days of independent music as artists from around the world showcase their talents to audiences comprising about half and half music biz folks and real music fans.  Join me for The Great Escape.

 

Minus the makeup – Blek (Mumbai, India)

Blek is a 3-member power pop band from Mumbai, India comprising of Rishi Bradoo (Guitar/Vocals), Jared Juan Creado (Bass/Vocals) and Varoon Aiyer (Drums).

Blek were one of 5 winners of the Ray-Ban Never Hide Sounds, a nationwide talent hunt for best emerging artists in 2011.

The band released their debut EP “Hexes + Drama & Other Reasons for Evacuation” as a free download (available on ennui.BOMB Records : www.ennuidotbomb.com ) early last year and has since been one of the most buzzing acts on the Indian indie circuit. Backed with super reviews for the EP from all quarters, Blek has gigged extensively covering most of the country. They plan on releasing their next EP this summer supported by a multi-city tour of India.

Their appearance on the Komedia Studio Bar stage was an unexpected surprise which Codger. Grumbler and I stumbled upon totally by chance. I picked up a sampler album of Indian rock music which has some absolute gems – so we’ll be hearing more on Suffolk ’n’ Cool and, I suspect on PC Podcast.

Ethereral – Hjaltalin (Reykjavík, Iceland)

We had a track from Hjaltalin last week so I was keen to catch their set at Above Audio.

Afterwards I spoke with songwriter, guitarist with Hjaltalin, Högni Egilsson

 

Letter to (…) – Hjaltalin

The band comprises some excellent musicians: Axel Haraldsson, Guðmundur Óskar, Guðmundsson, Hjörtur Ingvi Jóhannsson, Högni Egilsson and Rebekka Bryndís Björnsdóttir singing together beautifully along with Sigríður Thorlacius and Viktor Orri Árnason.

Far From My Arms – Black Black Hills (Brighton, UK)

A great set to stumble upon totally by chance. Mark S Aaron’s voice caught my ear along with some really interesting percussion on a solid bass. That certainly does it for me.

The band’s brooding, dynamic energy has already begun to capture people’s interest and support: Their track A Drowning was recently selected for the Radio 1 playlist

One More Tear – Echo and the Empress (Adelaide, South Australia)

The first set of the Great Escape kicked things of at The Haunt – one of around 30 venues used for TGE. This is a great little space with a balcony from which you can look almost straight down onto the stage. Just as long as you’re in the first three rows!

Their first TGE and they were first on – so no pressure for Skye and Beth then! They went on to play three packed shows during the festival and have certainly done themselves proud on their first visit dates in the UK. I’m looking forward to catching them again next time.

Scientists  and Cynthia – Velociraptor (Brisbane, Australia)

Velociraptor played sets at both The Haunt and the Aussie BBQ at Concorde 2.

Their 10 person line-up impresses both the eyes and the ears with drums (no seat), bass and keyboards plus seven or so guitars and almost everyone singing.

Certainly an endearing riot of a performance which should not be missed.

Main singer Jeremy Neale played a solo set in the hushed galleries of Brighton museum on Saturday evening which was a magical contract to the full band sets.

You Should Consider Having Sex With A Bearded Man – The Beards (Adelaide, South Australia)

To close out the Aussie segment from The Great Escape a band that can only be described as “niche”. The Beards have an album called Having A Beard Is The New Not Having A Beard featuring thirteen tracks, every one on the subject of, and indeed, in praise of, er … beards.

They are (allegedly):

Johann Beardraven

John Beardman Jr

Nathaniel Beard

Facey McStubblington

What they really are is a group of highly skilled musicians with a beautifully developed sense of the absurd and, in Chelsea Sinnott, one of the hardest working and best fun mangers around.

On their current tour they’ve already wowed LA, SXSW, Canadian Music Week, Bearded Theory and Byron’s Bay Bluesfest. They are in the UK for a few more days so you may be able to catch their unashamedly totalitarian beard-rock shows at:

Wed 22nd May Deaf Institute, Manchester, England.
www.aeglive.co.uk/artists/the-beards

Thurs 23rd May The Louisianna, Bristol, England
http://aeglive.seetickets.com/event/the-beards/the-louisiana/698437/?src=AEGLIVEUK_LOUISIANA_BEARDS_230513

Fri 24th May Leadmill, Sheffield, England.
www.aeglive.co.uk/artists/the-beards

Sun 26th May Scrumpstock Festival, Somerset, England.

Then they are back into Western Australia, Victoria and NSW throughout June. If you can’t get to a show, Do check out their videos on their various web presences:

Field Mouse is a four-piece dream pop band from Brooklyn, NY, seamlessly interweaving influences from shoegaze, indie, and power pop.

The band has been recording tracks for their first full length album and are self-releasing a few songs, which includes the first single released this past February, Tomorrow is Yesterday. Today’s featured song is described as an energetic take on melodic early-90s indie rock, with singer-guitarist Rachel Browne’s sweet, wistful vocals over a surge of feedback mixed with dreamy pop.

Trivial Shields release their second single Enough, in anticipation of their forthcoming EP Invisible Winter.

The song was recorded to tape at esteemed SF studio Tiny Telephone by Bay Area luminary Robert Shelton (DRMS); eerie tape effects, haunting vibraphone and rich harmonies combine in an attempt to express a state of persistent alienation.

Toronto’s TEENAGE KICKS have released their latest six song EP ‘Be On My Side’, which finds the group expanding beyond the grungy power-pop of the first release. We like the description of the music which is likened to “the girl you meet in high school that you end up marrying ten years later. Their songs stay with you, and you grow to love more about them as time goes by”.

Shortly before the release of the EP, the band unveiled the Teenage Kicks Singles Club, a service that will deliver two new songs to subscribers every few months. “It’s a way for us to get our music out to our fans without them having to wait however long for our albums to come out,” vocalist Van Helvoort points out. “We’ve got so many songs in the archives, some of which we’ve been playing for years, but they just haven’t shown up on our albums. So instead of letting them fade into obscurity, we wanted to share them all with whoever wants to listen to them, for free.”

This single and video are definitely one of our new favorites here at Insomnia and a great way to segue-way out of Spring and toward the Summer months. Check them out and make sure to sign up for the Singles Club at the link on their website below.
