Saw him last year at Leaf and it was great.

Has anyone listened to the new Michael Head EP Artorius Revisited?

Was mean to be out sometime in October?

[The Midnight Rambler]

I've paid for the cd but its hasn't been released yet, just says tbc. If you bought the vinyl I think you got a link to download the tracks?

Has anyone got Mick's EP? It's available on download from iTunes now too. I like it, but very much feels like an extension of miles & gill.

Bump.

 

Boss band.

 

Not much love for them on here, especially from WR.

[Barrington Womble]

Lots of love from me, although I don't expect to hear from them again as shack.

What's the story with them?  Has the heroin taken over again?

 

Some of their tunes just stick in your head for days on end, a seriously talented bunch.

I've probably posted it before...but what the hell it's worth it. My fave...

Mick and John had a bit of a falling out. I think that's mostly resolved but I don't think they've plans to work with each other at the moment. Mick is doing this red elastic band stuff (album due by the end of the year) and I hear john has lost a bit of confidence as he couldn't get anyone to release his solo album.

 

As for the drugs, I think that's a constant problem for mick, but he's supposed to be clean (aside from booze anyway) at the moment.

I saw Mick Head at the Union Chapel the other month. The guy is so painfully self aware, it's untrue.

 

Fantastic gig and and a really warm crowd willing him on as it was obvious he was very nervous.

Short French documentary about Mick from 1992

Was listening to Dave Monks show last week and John Power was on and talking about getting together with Mick, Ian Broudie and making a scouse CSN album. Sounds fucking awesome to me.

saw mick playing a solo gig in london last night (stoke newington of all places). absolutely brilliant, being clean and sober suits him. he did a show on soho radio earlier in the week too (hopefully the link below works) - a new single was out a couple of weeks back and a re-release of the strands album plus another album of unreleased stuff from that time is out next month.

Don't mind them, but this lyric always made me cringe, and still does.

 

I’m searching through the streets again
Through the streets of Kenny

I’m looking for the boys again
Can’t find Joe or Benny

He was on Liz Kershaw's 6 Music show last Saturday too which will still be on the iPlayer.

Saw Mick play at grand Central Hall last night. Cracking gig. Shame he's not more active. Someone has posted this on YouTube.

I’ve avoided the Likes of Shack, Head on his own, The La’s For years due to older Scally lads back in my yoof to profess that these were the greatest thing since sliced bread. Always put me off having stuff rammed down your throat.

 

However I delved in and gave Adios Senor Pussycat, The La’s and Zilch a listen this past week and it appears those fella’s years ago were half right. Some cracking stuff. I took me a few goes to get into Senor Pussycat. 

 

Sometimes being late to a party isn’t a bad thing. 

 

 

[General Dryness]

I bought my first bass off the fella who went on to play on "Heres Tom with the Weather".

Mate, you have a great musical journey ahead. I love discovering stuff like that and you've decades of back catalogues to go through.

New LP out today, some boss reviews. Sounding great on first listen.

Is it on Spotify etc? I saw some daft advert that said it was only available as an LP or CD, which I'd have been shocked by. 

 

I'm looking forward to the gig on Friday.
