CYMBALS EAT GUITARS

lydiab — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 10:36:00 +0000

Now Staten Island may not be enormously noted for it’s indie rock output, but these guys could be about to set that balance right. Coming on like a post rock Pavement, the minute their ep, …..’and The Hazy Sea’ hit our desks we were just gagging to check them out live. All on your behalf of course.

As you’ll see from this week’s episode of Flyposter, we were not disappointed. So much energy, a masterful use of the loud/soft dynamic and a great line in obscure musical references, these guys were one of our favourite ever interviewees, their soundcheck was awesome and the gig on the night ROCKED. Go find out for yourself – if Pitchfork are saying they’re one of the best new bands of 2009, we second that!

Blur comeback, album launch date

lydiab — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 09:28:49 +0000

After 9 years in the wilderness, Damon Albarn’s cult brit band Blur, have begun their comeback with an intimate gig at the East Anglican Railway Museum- where they first started back in 1988. The perormance to just 150 people marks the beginning of a tour that will see the pop heroes play at T in the Park, Glastonbury and Hyde Park this summer.

The audience was made up of friends, family and some lucky competition winners, who packed into the venue, surrounded by the station memorabilia.

The band will be releasing ‘Midlife, a beginners guide to Blur‘ on the 15th of June, a compilation album that spans the breadth of their career- and including anticipated ‘Popscene’, a single making its first appearance.

Their guitar fueled sound is filled with energy, passion and an overdose of singalong melodies, delivered with the excitement and drive of a powerful live act.

Having written two albums worth of killer material, Merlins are here, and ready to set the world on fire. To quote the late, great Bill Hicks ‘Sing from their fucking hearts’…

The Bronx is LIVE

Gill — Thu, 14 May 2009 11:12:03 +0000

…finally, we got the extra special Bronx footage from their tour, and the interview with all the specially filmed tour bits is now live on the Flyposter site! So you can catch me, Joby and Matt backstage before their Shred Yr Face Tour going over some old ground and coming up with some new song titles for their side project. Sex Shrapnel is mine btw, but the guys are allowed use it as they rule. We also go over tour games, their role as Black Flag, The Germs and sleeping. Oh, and watch out for the ball bag, it made the cut!

And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead…

Gill — Thu, 14 May 2009 10:51:37 +0000

The Century of Self may well mark …Trail of Dead’s return to the form we witnessed on their early albums, but Jason and Conrad had plenty to say about their Interscope years when we caught up with them before their recent London dates. I hadn’t sen the chaps for a good few years (not since they were road buddies by way of Snow Patrol and The Reindeer Section. For real) yet they were still as cranked, funny, and downright intense as they ever were. Even if Jason had developed a penchant for random snowglobes in the interim. We shot the breeze about times gone by, working with Yeah Yeah Yeah’s producer Chris Coady, ballpoint pen art (Conrad did the sleeve art ENTIRELY in ballpoint pen), live shows, kit swapping and festival plans. Plus some rather stoopid shit involving Jason’s big brass balls.

Then some crazy cool dude who loved all music offered to get involved in our filming, so we’ve got an extra special bit of live footage from the tremendous gig that followed our chat. All in all, a very special episode of Flyposter, coming soon…

the Bronx man, the chuffing Bronx…

Gill — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 11:31:40 +0000

Well, we know you Flyposter types like The Bronx, being such fine purveyors of balls out punk rock. We toddled along to see them on the recent Shred Yr Face tour, where they shared some stage air with Rolo Tomassi and Fucked Up. Joby and Matt were on fine form, and the gig did indeed, Shred Our Faces and ears. They’re quite simply one of the best live bands around and never fail to bring you to your knees. The episode is going to be a bit special, as we sent a camera out on the road with them and they’ve delivered some very special bits. Although we won’t be using the ECU of Matt’s scrotum… In the interview they were full of great suggestions for things you can do in 33 minutes, which just so happens to be how long their new album Bronx III is. Eh, d’you see what we did there???
