With the launch of 'Johnny Foreigner Vs Everything' (review here ), Johnny Foreigner decided to put on two parties. Billed as VsLondon and VsBirmingham, their label Alcopop! put together a showcase like no other with a billing which could make most other indie labels a little jealous. For one night only, VsLondon comes to the upstairs venue of The Garage in London and it promises to be a good one. Arriving just in time to catch Screaming Maldini , I'm promised that [...]

Indio isn't just home to the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival but also to the other big festival that goes down every April, Stagecoach, who just announced their lineup for 2011! Coming to the Empire Polo Club! on the...
Wither'd leaves, wither'd leaves, that fly before the gale: Withered leaves, withered leaves, ye tell a mournful tale, Of love once true, and friends once kind, And happy moments fled: Dispersed by every breath of wind, Forgotten, changed, or dead! Autumn leaves, autumn leaves, lie strewn around me here! Autumn leaves, autumn leaves, how sad, how cold, how [...]
It's less than two weeks now until Team GFP descends on Upcote Farm in Gloucestershire for this years 2000 Trees festival. The event, which began in 2007, has already gained a reputation, not to mention awards, as one of the best small and independent festivals on the circuit. With this years event fast approaching we thought we would give you a little run-through of the bands we're most looking forward to seeing... Vessels Leeds five-piece who released their second album earlier this year. Helioscope , much like it's predecessor [...]
Name: Luke Joseph Fisher Barham About Me: Recently turned 29 singer in the one day to be popular rock band Stagecoach. Lover of Wilco, Burrito's, Comic Books, Joanna Newsom, Fulham FC, Star Wars, My So Called Life & Diana Vickers. Listening To: I've not stopped listening to Time Travel by Alessi's Ark since it came out. I really enjoyed the first record but it feels like she's found her own voice with this one and can finally shake the tag [...]

As you may have noticed, this week we are celebrating our 1st Birthday here at GoldFlakePaint. How nice then to receive a birthday gift from one of our favourite bands, the ever-brilliant Stagecoach . Said gift came in the shape of a never-before-heard home recording of the 'Coach covering The Lemonheads 1992 classic, My Drug Buddy. Their gift to us becomes our gift to you as the band have been kind enough to allow us to post it here as an exclusive download. Before we get to that however, here is [...]
It seems that nowadays most cities have their own one-day festivals, doesn't it? Well, that's because many of them do, but few are usually as talked about as the Nottingham-bred 'Dot To Dot', which, since 2005, has gradually spread its wings out towards Bristol, London and Manchester. The all-dayer's renown is well-earned - just see the lineups of previous years, featuring the likes of Klaxons, The Horrors, Foals, Late Of The Pier, Sky Larkin, Laura Marling, Santogold... I could go on. So I will: Friendly Fires (whose latest album is sure to top the charts this week, it's a [...]

Jonah Lomu is the first track we've heard from the ' junk-pop juggernauts' in 2011 and finds the five-piece sounding more confident and fully formed than ever before. Jonah Lomu by stagecoachuk Produced by James Kenosha ( Pulled Apart By Horses, Dinosaur Pile-Up ) the track will be released alongside another new track Tony Hawk on May 30th.

A StageCoach compilation that cold have been called, Greatest Hits.. although... even their brand new single 'Jonah Lomu' is included. Stagecoach is a five piece alternative rock band from London, who describe their music as "grunge pop" The band formed in London in 2008, originally starting out as a two-piece country band, but progressed their sound with the addition of each new member, to become the rock band they are now. They played at the Reading and Leeds Festivals in [...]
A few months ago, I championed the incredibly fun Crash My Ride EP from Stagecoach for being chock full of great singalong lyrics, growling guitars, and most importantly having a massive, stupid grin on its face. The band are back with the double A-side single release of two brand new tracks - 'Jonah Lomu' and 'Tony Hawk', and they're both belters. 'Jonah Lomu' brings an almost brit-pop element to Stagecoach's self-proclaimed "junk-pop", especially in the catchy 'ooohs' that open the tune and the distorted, sneering vocals. Later on though [...]
Fuzzed up rawness with a rock edge and the odd post-mod wink, as the mood mixing Surrey troupe, Stagecoach, seeks to use 'Jonah Lomu', to increase the momentum in their campaign to get more radio time. An intoxicated vocal swagger, fuzzed up guitars and the odd stabbing percussion drill filters in profile to the grizzly chorus, whilst the rock provocation gushes out of the vocals of Luke Barham. His boast in a recent interview that their sound is like: "smack in the face followed by a warm bear hug". Doesn't quite ring true, an elbow in the shoulders followed by [...]
Last weekend's Stagecoach , the country music cousin to Coachella, capped three consecutive weeks of music at the Empire Polo Field in Indio, offering a diverse lineup of veterans, commercial stars and indie artists.

Carrie Underwood helped bring a bit of Country to the Cali desert as she performed on Day 2 of Stagecoach 2011: Country Music Festival in Indio, California last night. The Soul Surfer star looked like she was ready for the beach in her colorful summery getup — a flowing top belted at the waist, white shorts and boots. In addition to rocking a number of her hits, the American Idol winner closed out her killer set with covers of Aerosmith's "Walk This Way" and Guns N' Roses' "Paradise City". Check out the [...]
Los Angeles Times (MCT) -- INDIO, Calif. - A college logic professor I once had liked to use a TV commercial for Country Time lemonade as a case study in the way savvy marketing people can create an illusion of authenticity with the right choice of words and images. The same idea, it turns out, can be applied to the musicians at the fifth annual Stagecoach country music festival over the weekend in Indio. In the ad, a white-haired grandpa...
