Founder member of The Merrymakers David Myhr is to play an intimate show in London later in the month.
On the back of his excellent solo debut ‘Soundshine’, David will be playing at one of the Living Room Scene shows at The Betsey Trotwood, a Victorian pub situated in Clarkenwell, Central London.
In the noughties, Norwegian hard rock band Winter Parade released two albums for two different independent hard rock labels: while ‘Midnight Paradise’ [MTM Records, 2002] and ‘Two’ [Perris Records, 2008] were a huge commercial success, both found a cult audience. Following the band’s demise, bassist PB Riise teamed up with guitarist Tore Meli and Coldspell drummer Perra Johnson to form the core of Snowfall, a band whom – given their heritage and past links – may, on the surface, be dismissed as just another Scandinavian hard rock band.
Neutral Milk Hotel are set to play a run of live dates between October and December 2013. The run of dates will see Jeff Mangum and company trekking across the US, before heading off to Australia, Taiwan and Japan.
At the time of writing, there are no scheduled plans to play in the UK or any European territories. All confirmed shows are listed below.
Twenty years into a career of cult stardom, this four track release from Yorkshire’s My Dying Bride continues their ongoing voyage into sludge rock and doom rock territories. Clocking in at over twenty seven minutes for just four songs, some of you will own supposedly full length albums which are barely any longer (Van Halen back catalogue, we’re pointing the finger at you), but despite the extended nature of the tunes, none ever outstay their welcome.
They may have only released one full-length album in their original incarnation, but UK Decay influenced a generation of musicians, and along with Southern Death Cult and Siouxsie and the Banshees are considered by some to be the fore fathers of the goth movement. A quarter century on from their last studio recording, the core of the original band reunited for a one off gig and the response was so overwhelming, they soon found themselves making regular live appearances. A new album was, perhaps, something few expected considering the band’s previous output was so scant but the band returned to the studio in late 2012.
