THIS HAPPENED!

THEY ARE AND CONTINUE TO BE - THE COURETTES!

Them (fabulous) Courettes hit up 17 towns in 17 days and they’re just about to commence a blitzkrieg of France and The Netherlands. I finally caught up with them presenting their Back In Mono extrav in a venue called Mono. That’s the attention to detail at which these kids excel. The album turns the Mark Ronson retro concept inside out and forces their frequencies through the same electrical fugue that David Lynch favours by channelling Joe Meek-ish vibrations via some kinda Ouija board plug-in. Re-inventing a wall of sound-like barrage for these perilous times. Don’t take my word for it, hear it for yourselves then buy it directly from Courettes HQ.

THE RIGHT TO ROCK!

CAN"T FAULT THE SENTIMENT!

MORE MEMPHIS UNDERGROUND, I MEAN ELECTRONIC!

ALL ABOARD THE AUTUMN EXPRESS...

The post per day activity of August is unlikely to be continued through September. If anything urgent turns up then I'll make an exception but keep those expectations low. 

Gracias for continuing to show up, even although there's literally too much information out there to process anything like comfortably. I know the sidebar still hasn't been updated, I figure that you might just type the name of an act into your search engine of choice?

Is that so presumptuous?

Yeah-eah HOP! Shades of Duane Eddy and those Shangri-Las abound in this, the latest and perhaps greatest epistle yet. Hop The Twig refreshes the parts that are sorely in need of refreshment. Seriously bursting with the rock and the roll in glorious monophonic abandon. 

What I wouldn’t give to be able to scoot along and hear these kids do their live thing...

44 YEARS AGO - APRIL 1st 1977 - IT ALL KICKED OFF...

April already. This NBT beastie came about 44 años ago this very day.

A copy of Issue 1 that previously belonged to Ted Carroll went for £26 on Ebay a few hours ago. The long strange trip continues apace.

Over the past two months, I've posted something every day. This is because I hate going to pages that aren't updated and there's been an upswing in visitors. Possibly because folks are stuck at home and then maybe these fucking internet bots are at a loose end too. I've no idea but it's in the stats innit.

Haven't made much inroads with the contacts sidebar but it'll come together. Maybe over the next wee while there won't be a daily post or maybe there'll be two one day and then none for a week. One just never knows and that goes double for me.
