A Brighton Morning
A totally different morning song batch of tracks. All the bands featured are female rockers and pop indie bands from my old haunt of Brighton. Two of the bands I have not seen live whilst the other i have seen four times whilst i lived in Brighton, that being Electrelane.
Starting with The Pipettes and a track called "Judy" -
Next up Natasha Khan as Bat For Lashes and a track called Glass
And finally the band i have seen live, with among them a contributor (Mia Clarke) to The Wire magazine, Electrelane and a track called To The East.
They really did rock! Their music drew from a wide range of influences including Neu!, Stereolab, Sonic Youth, and The Velvet Underground. Although the band had strong feminist and political views in their personal lives, they generally preferred to not communicate that directly to their fans or through their music. Mia Clarke was the freelance writer in the band for The Wire ,the Guardian newspaper, and Pitchfork magazines.She now lives in Chicago with her new band Follows.
I have actually met her and fell in love straight away when i saw them in 2005. So here is another track by them , the beautiful The Lighthouse.
Enjoy.
Must buy the The Wire magazine again. Started reading it from 1991 till about 2010. The best music mag on the market as it coves all the genres i am into. The Wire is a British avant garde music magazine, founded in 1982 by jazz promoter Anthony Wood and journalist Chrissie Murray. The magazine initially concentrated on contemporary jazz and improvised music, but branched out in the early 1990's to various types of experimental music. Since then it has covered hip hop, modern classical, free improvisation, post-rock, and various forms of electronic music. Yeah, that defines me as well.
