DUM DUM GIRLS @ The Cluny, July 26th

prmnt vibes are helping us with this, visit their blog here:

Dum Dum Girls play girl-group rock and roll which, with the help of Richard Gotterher's production work, buries insanely catchy melodies beneath a shimmering cloak of ethereal echoes and twinkling lead guitars.

They call the sound the 'Blissed Out Buzzsaw', which sounds like it could be heavy metal, but rather than jarr your ears, Dum Dum Girls record 'I Will Be' is eleven of the most sugary sweet pop songs in existence right now.

The Kissaway Trail to Headline Narc Fest

Portions For Foxes and Narc presents

THE KISSAWAY TRAIL

@ The Cluny, Byker, July 17th.

from their Bella Union Site:
"The Kissaway Trail are Thomas L. Fagerlund (vox, guitar), Søren B. Corneliussen (vox, guitar), Daniel Skjoldmose (guitar, keys, backing vocals), Rune Pedersen (bass, backing vocals) and Hasse Mydtskov (drums, backing vocals).

Euphoric and evocative, listening to The Kissaway Trail is an intoxicating experience. The debut album released in 2007 was filled with songs of immense ambition and scope, the music soars, filled with majestic guitar lines, dramatic melodies and epic arrangements. The Kissaway Trail have that rare power to lift people out of their lives and transport them to a world of drama, beauty and wonder.

The Kissaway Trail list the likes of Sonic Youth, Grandaddy, Daniel Johnston, Pixies and The Beach Boys as being their main influences, though in their native Denmark, where they have recently taken off massively due to their incendiary live shows, the band have quickly developed a unique sound of their own. Forthcoming album ‘Sleep Mountain’ out March 1st 2010 is a remarkable return. Recorded in Denmark, the band then heard from Peter Katis, legendary producer of Interpol, The National, Twilight Sad, Tokyo Police Club who expressed a desire to work with the band. And just a month or so later, he was indeed mixing the album in his own Tarquin Studios in Connecticut. The result, well you’ll hear it soon enough, is spectacular."

The Wave Pictures @ Head Of Steam Wednesday June 9th

After wonderful shows in support of Daniel Johnston and at the Star And Shadow last year, we're pleased to bring back The Wave Pictures around the release of their new 'Sweetheart' EP.

Wave Pictures are a long running, ultra DIY troupe of doomed romantics, currently on Moshi Moshi Records (of slow club / the drums fame). One with a huge catalogue of records behind them; including collaborations with darren hayman, mountain goats and herman dune. Their literate, kitchen sink drama pop borrows from jonathan richman, herman dune and imbibes them with a smithslike profundity and an obvious and sharply observational englishness-ness.



QUOTES:
Pitchfork: 7.8
"Like sometime collaborators and fellow logophiles the Mountain Goats, the Wave Pictures write songs for fans of songwriting"

Guardian
"charming, witty pop songs shot through with Jonathan Richman's gawky glee and Suede's doomed provincial romanticism... They owe a certain debt to The Smiths, and Tattersall has Morrissey's knack of marrying the ridiculous and the sublime"
