This week, A stark realisation that I have been neglecting the music I love. So things will be changing here – more hard rock and metal. Gone is the Metal Show – well because it’s going to be here. This might cheese some off, but I think it’s for the better, certainly for my own sanity.
Thanks to all the indie and electronica artists who have submitted the tunes, and who know, maybe darkcompass extra might have a rekindling from time to time.
For now though – venting my fustrations through music rather than fists is the topic of the week.

Hi guys,

Well, I recorded a show this evening but unfortunately the Internet Archive (where the files are housed) are in the middle of an upgrade to their power supply which means that the site is down. As soon as it’s fixed and back online I’ll publish the new show.

Show 126 – Ding dong - No, this isn’t Avon calling, it’s a reference to a certain 52 second song that reached No 2 in the UK singles chart this week and which the controller of BBC Radio 1 didn’t have the guts to play in full. Yes, you might have noticed that Margaret Thatcher has passed away, and this show will be paying its own tribute with a very special song from Chumbawamba.

I’m no longer going to apologise for the long breaks between shows. New editions of the It’s A Frog’s Life Acoustic Podcast will come out as and when I can find time to do them.

Only Child (Alan O’Hare)

ONLY CHILD
facebook.com/onlychildmusic Only Child make emotional music. 2012′s debut EP was a collaboration between Alan O’Hare (ex-The Trestles) and Laura McKinlay (Bill Ryder-Jones, Bird), alongside a loose collective of Merseyside’s most intuitive musicians. The launch gig, at Leaf on Bold Street, saw a string quartet join the five-piece band and reviews were great: “Musically gifted and beautifully played…” (Seven Streets); “Like throwing crisp autumn leaves into the air…” (Audio Apocalypse).

Only Child have gone on to support the likes of Miles Hunt (The Wonder Stuff); Steve Pilgrim (Paul Weller); Michael Weston King (My Darling Clementine); Ian Prowse (Amsterdam/Pele) and Gemma Hayes.

The EP has also received rave reviews: “Only Child summarise a feeling felt by many and with a pure Celtic heart…” (Liverpool Sound & Vision) and “Beautifully haunting, the band falls away, leaving just strings…” (Liverpool Acoustic).

The band now headline the award-winning Liverpool Acoustic night at View Two Gallery on April 26th and it’s a marriage made in heaven: “The idea for Only Child crystallised for me at an acoustic gig at View Two,” reveals O’Hare. “Our bass player, Vanessa Murray, also recently won the Liverpool Acoustic Songwriting Challenge and I met Jon Lawton of Crosstown Studios through Liverpool Acoustic – and we now record all our music with him.”

Only Child are half way through the recording of a debut album too. “It’s going great and another step on from the EP,” says O’Hare. “There are new instruments introduced into the mix – flute, sax, drum machines, rain sticks (!) – and a set of my best songs. The violin and strings will remain at the heart of the record though and that’s why we’re bringing the fab Liva String Quartet back to play with us on April 26th. I make music to be brought to life by a connection with other people. I can’t wait to hear what happens above the din of Mathew Street…”

LIVA STRING QUARTET
stringquartetliverpool.com

Formed in 2012, Liva String Quartet comprises four of the North West’s finest freelance string players, available to add that extra bit of magic and sparkle to any event, performance or recording. Diverse, versatile and professional, Liva String Quartet are dedicated to providing excellence at every engagement and performance. Liva String Quartet are Laura McKinlay (Violin), Alex Dunn (Violin), Merlyn Sturt (Viola), and Rod Skipp (Cello).

ROB CLARKE
facebook.com/robclarkegarage

Liverpool born Rob represents the changing, acceptable face of 21st century folk music. Influenced by everyone from Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly right through to more current artists, Rob’s timeless and warm style endears him to any audience – and to those who wouldn’t normally listen to acoustic music. He writes songs about seemingly anything that still manage to be meaningful. Rob takes his art seriously but his understated modest style and dry wit bring the listener right into the heart of his music.

About A Time is Rob Clarke’s third album and showcases Rob’s songwriting and musicianship.

‘His warm voice and sensitive musicality (and) …memorable songs that somehow evoke the spirit of Liverpool, and will touch the heart of many’ – Liverpool Echo

‘His work has an honest tone and quality which makes his finely crafted music all the more listenable’ – The Harmless Musician

‘This is my type of music- the type that works its way into the brain so well that you find yourself singing it to yourself in your head or occasionally (as in my case) out loud at work and that for me is the sign of a great song’ – Liverpool Acoustic

ROXANNE DE BASTION
roxannedebastion.com

Roxanne de Bastion’s journey started when she set out on her own, leaving Berlin for London, equipped only with her guitar and a one-way ticket. She grew up in a bilingual, musical home and played her first gigs at the age of 10 (performing her favourite Beatles songs in small cafés and clubs) and began writing her own songs at the age of 15. Not knowing anyone in London, Roxanne started playing at as many open mic nights, bars and music venues as she could, traveling throughout the country via bus and train in order to play her songs to as many people as possible. Determination and hard work is paying off and Roxanne now tours regularly, being asked back to venues throughout the UK, Germany and the United States. Her music is striking a chord with listeners across the globe from Berlin, to London and New York, all the way to Vietnam and Ethiopia.

Roxanne de Bastion announces that her debut album The Real Thing will be released on April 19th on Nomad Songs. The singer-songwriter teamed up with producer Gordon Raphael (The Strokes/Regina Spektor) to record ten of her songs in Roxanne’s town of birth, Berlin. Her first single Red and White Blood Cells is available as a free download and has already been picked up by Tom Robinson on BBC6, John Kennedy on XFM, Q Radio as well as MTV and Radio Eins in Germany.

Roxanne’s compositions and live shows are incredibly varied in dynamism and style, ranging from intimate, lilting anti-folk to raw 60’s blues-rock. What tie them together are her charm, her instantly recognisable voice and the sincere, witty and downright ballsy lyrics. Her recordings on The Real Thing are live, honest and immediate. Her songwriting is influenced just as much by her travels as it is by her musical heroes John Lennon, Ray Davies, Bob Dylan, and Judee Sill. A young person making modern and original music but recorded old school, makes for a fresh sound in an otherwise overproduced universe of ‘same old’.

“If you ever get a chance to go see her live – definitely do!” (BBC Introducing Coventry and Warwickshire)

“In a space where artists like Fiona Apple and Regina Spektor exist, Roxanne de Bastion more than holds her own. She stands out.” (Absolute Punk)

“…One of the most perfect voices I have ever heard!” (Tom Whalley, BBC 6)

“A songstress set for stardom in 2013” (Gigs and Festivals)

Spotlight 90: Friday 26th April 2013 – Only Child

The post Spotlight 90: Friday 26th April 2013 – Only Child appeared first on Liverpool Acoustic.

Whitehorse are among the diversity of artists this week. Watch out for them live.

A pleasing variety of tracks on this week’s show … again reflecting the best of independent music from around the world in in this week’s show specifically from LA, Nova Scotia, Ontario, San Francisco, New York, Lyon, Edinburgh and Marseille.

 

That Voice – Cosmic Suckerpunch (LA. CA. USA)

The current single from their new EP Breathe.

There’s a reason L.A. has become synonymous with making your dreams come true. Hollywood and the Sunset Strip having been cranking out stars for more than a century, whether purposefully or coincidentally, and new discoveries come every day. Take the case of Ari Welkom, discovered as an actor before teaming up with guitarist Fabien Hameline on a movie set. The two realized their shared interests and respected talents could lead to a different kind of artistic avenue, and they first formed the musical act Ghost Robot in 2009. While that moniker’s cuteness dried up pretty quick, they eventually recruited drummer Adam Timmerman and bassist Sebastian Hameline, Fabien’s twin brother, for the full line up of what is now Cosmic Suckerpunch.

At first holed up and honing their chops in coffeehouses and small clubs, the band’s popularity grew in the city of angels and they soon graduated to historic venues like The Viper Room and the House of Blues.

The group plays up a sparkling tongue-in-cheek science fiction vibe throughout their otherwise straightforward music, with themes like robot love and time machines popping up regularly and Welkom often adopting a Ziggy Stardust like swagger when he endearingly croons and stutter-starts his lyrics.

For me the whole thing has a retro freshness about it that I find quite endearing.

Tendrils – Paper Beat Scissors (Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada)

What a treat to have a brand new EP from Tim Crabtree (aka Paper Beat Scissors) not just to play on the show but, I promise you, to listen to for the pure pleasure.

Tim sent the tracks over last night and at first listen to this live recording of Tendrils it was apparent that he was really exploring (and making masterful use of) the acoustic of St Matthew’s Church in Halifax. Recorded during the Halifax Jazz Festival, the EP is now available on 7″ vinyl.

The show included collaborations with NY-based contemporary classical group Clogs, sometime-members of, and regular collaborators with the National.

A-side Tendrils, a haunting contemplation on what lies just below the surface, finds new life with the added instrumentation of oboe, violin, steel drum and guitar, and features support vocals by My Brightest Diamond.

B-side, Onwards is a previously unreleased song performed with a chamber ensemble of Gina Burgess (violin), Devin Wesley (oboe) and Anna Plaskett (french horn). Building on the success of the critically-acclaimed self-titled album, Tim Crabtree sounds as unique and focused as ever in these new sound environments.

Paper Beat Scissors will be touring throughout Europe in support of this release, also available digitally as a 7-song EP.

Devil’s Got A Gun – Whitehorse (Hamilton, Ontario)

With The Fate of the World Depends on This Kiss, Whitehorse makes good on the promise of the their self-titled debut, which officially brought their solo careers together. They made their entrance as a band in August 2011, with an 8-song collection that played to their strengths with equal parts blues-stomp and ballad, seedy tale and sweet nothing. The new album “freewheels between blues, folk and rockabilly with audible enthusiasm for experimenting with new sonic directions.

Melissa McClelland is known for bringing bloody-knuckled tales of bad apples to life. She often shares the stage with Sarah McLachlan as touring partner and backing vocalist. Victoria Day, Melissa’s latest solo album, cemented her status as an “uncommonly talented” artist in Canada, says national daily newspaper, The Globe and Mail.

Luke Doucet is known for his scorching work on his signature Gretsch White Falcon. As noted in Guitar Player Magazine, “whenever and wherever Luke Doucet hits the stage, he wrestles every last ounce of Neil Young-battles-Brian Setzer twang out of his gleaming cream-and-gold companion.” Doucet’s most recent solo release, Steel City Trawler, attracted four-star reviews across the board, as well as a Juno nomination.

Individually, they have been recognized with awards and nominations from the Juno Awards, Polaris, Canadian Folk Music and Independent Music Awards. So with two strong solo careers, why Whitehorse? The theme of tempting fate appears again when considering how much the stakes have been raised: “We’re kind of breaking one of the cardinal rules. We’re getting away with murder. This isn’t supposed to work. It’s supposed to end in a hail of bullets and tears,” Doucet has said.

They are on the road right now with upcoming dates:

4.24.13 Tempe, AZ @ Sail Inn

4.25.13 San Diego, CA @ Soda Bar

4.27.13 Los Angeles, CA @ Hotel Cafe

4.29.13 San Francisco, CA @ Cafe Du Nord

5.1.13 Seattle, WA @ Tractor Tavern

5.2.13 Portland, OR @ Doug Fir Lounge

The title of The Fate of the World Depends on This Kiss comes from a Wonder Woman comic glued to the table in a diner in Vancouver, BC.

I Want My Life Back – Big Orange Fluff (San Francisco, CA, USA)

San Francisco Bay natives Big Orange Fluff’s debut EP is called Thirty Years Disinterred. Formed in 2012 Big Orange Fluff draws on a wide variety of influences, including The Beatles, Wilco, Jeff Buckley, Smashing Pumpkins, and Eric Johnson. Jeremy Gekov wrote, recorded and mixed the songs at his well equipped home studio over a six month period.

Jeremy said of the song-writing process “It has been a labor of love, to co-exist with each song from concept, through maturing versions, and finally finished piece.”

“I would start each song thinking, this is going to be a simple song, just guitar and vocals, maybe some drums, but after recording the first layers I would go back and add other textures like cello, keyboards or vocal harmonies, while still trying to leave space in the song,” Jeremy said.

Jeremy’s sister Vera Gekov also shares vocal duties on two songs. Jeremy explained “I remember when we were kids, and I couldn’t stand her singing all the time, but either she got better, or my taste improved, because we work well together now.”

San Francisco Bay Area talent is featured prominently on the EP. Rebecca Roudman plays cello on two songs, bringing cozy warmth to the music, and longtime friend Justin Huff plays drums. Muralist Max Ehrman did the cover art for the album.

If Isis – Peg+Agathe (NYC and Lyon, France)

A really interesting, mesmerising piece from Peg Simone and Agathe who collaborate between NYC and Lyon as Peg explains:

“She and I were both artists on Radium/Table of the Elements and talked about collaborating a couple of years ago during the Table of the Elements Festival which was held in Brooklyn. She lives in Lyon, France so we did this by sending tracks back and forth. More to come at some point. I’ve cc’d her on this so you can contact her if you like. Be sure to check out her work, it’s beautiful.”

Agathe has a new album called Dangerous Days. You’ll find it at

www.agathemaxmusic.com/bonjour-tout-le-monde/

Peg herself also has an intriguing album out right now, Witch Tree Road is available for listening and download from her site. We’ll have track from that next week.

The Witch is dead … and almost buried

If you’re taking any notice of the sycophantic dribblings coming from all the main-stream broadcasters in the UK (and possibly seeping overseas too), you’d think that the nation is standing with heads bowed at the demise of the Wicked Witch. Don’t you believe it. Despite the almost universal uptake of rose-tinted shades by people with either vested interests in supporting Thatcherism (mostly because they did very nicely out of it thank you), there are lot of us who just want to go on record and say that the £10m funeral show that she had planned is not in our name. Nor, I suspect in the names of many of the servicvemen and women being required to honour a politician who many will despise.

I take back my criticism of the BBC whose refusal to play the number 2 song in last week’s chart show was a masterclass in hyping the whole thing up. Their explanation of why they wouldn’t play the track lasted way longer than the track itself, which, if they’d just have played it might have raised the odd eyebrow but not much else.

She’s gone, but her cronies are still active. Be afraid, very afraid. No, actually, that’s how they keep us under control, by creating fear. Don’t be afraid, let us rejoice, have a bit of a party and stand up for the memory of those, well away from her leafy suburban constituency, who she consigned to poverty, depression and social decay. Such as the people of the former mining town of Spennymoor, County Durham here in the UK.

 

The Mines of Spennymoor – The Deadly Winters (Edinburgh, Scotland)

Releasing their debut album in 2011, The Deadly Winters are steadily ploughing a fresh furrow into the term alt-folk, and honing their live performances into something quite magical.

Picking up play on BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio Scotland, Jim Gellatly’s Weekly Podcast, Amazing Radio and numerous internet stations and Podcasts from the UK to Australia, the band are steadily raising people’s awareness of how Folk-Music can still advance with the times.

Live, the band have supported The Staves as well as appearances at Celtic Connections, Perthshire Amber (Dougie MacLean Festival), The House Music Folk Festival (Kinlochard) and The Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

There’s a video of that track in the shownotes.

Bluestep – Grammatik (NYC)

This spring Lowtemp put out its first full-length release, Gramatik’s new album The Age of Reason.  Gramatik elaborates on the epic LP title, which was “inspired by a stand-up segment by comedian George Carlin. He made a joke on the fact that he was Catholic until he reached the age of reason. I also firmly believe that there comes a time in a human life when you reach the so-called ‘age of reason’ and realize that there are so many irrational beliefs, shameless contradictions and illogical restrictions inflicted upon society. Some people reach it sooner, others later, but a majority unfortunately never do. [Through my music] I’d like to guide more people to reach the age of reason sooner. Maybe. Or, hopefully at least unite the ones that feel the same way.”

The Age of Reason Tour kicks off April 2013 with dates in St. Louis, Urbana, Madison, NYC, Austin, and more.

The first single off The Age Of Reason, “Bluestep” is a signature Gramatik style genre clash.

“Lately I’ve been really into combining the vibes of raw 50′s and 60′s Blues with all kinds of EDM genres and one of the results is Bluestep. It’s a dynamic mixture of Blues and Dubstep, a plethora of screaming guitar, howling vocals and big bass, capturing the raw energies of both music worlds in a hopefully cohesive, possibly outrageous picture.”

Age of reason or reason enough, the revolution begins now.

The single is currently available as a free mp3 download and as a 24bit file which weighs in at an impressive 74MB from:
