ALBUM REVIEW: “End of Daze” by Dum Dum Girls

Stripped Down In A Yurt: Dum Dum Girls "Mine Tonight"
Explore a journey from loss to the hopeful light at the end of the tunnel through End of Daze, the new EP from Dum Dum Girls.

Dum Dum Girls “Trees & Flowers (Strawberry Switchblade Cover)”

Dum Dum Girls “Trees & Flowers (Strawberry Switchblade Cover)” The Dum Dum Girls have been on a serious roll this past year, making the art of creating timeless, emotion-heavy indie pop-rock seem as easy as blinking, and on their new EP End of Daze (officially due September 25th, but stream-able here ) the band show little signs of easing back, cooking up five more doses of retro-tinted ear comfort to keep fans satisfied until the next go 'round. While a significant portion of their recent work carries an air of sounding like its been around forever, with [...]

Treehuggers

Treehuggers Strawberry Switchblade . I've always had a soft spot for this unsung 80s duo. Back when I was a wee teen dabbling in goth I came across a pic of Rose McDowall & Jill Bryson on the cover of UK new wave pin up mag Smash Hits . No need to hear them. With their Siouxsie in overdrive makeup, Victorian outfits and almost Yayoi Kusama level of fetish for polka dots, their image fluttered deep in my stomach, AKA that telling midpoint between my brain and my trousers. When I finally got my black [...]

Vintage Video: Into a Circle – “EvergreenR 21;

Into A Circle - Evergreen
Today is yet another cold and rainy day here in Gotham City. Since when has this town become London?  Speaking of the U.K., today's vintage video documents cult favorite post-punk/coldwave act Into a Circle . Primarily a duo, Into a Circle formed in the wake of the similarly styled  Getting the Fear . Paired down to two members (Barry Jepson and Bee), Into a Circle had a more free-form musical approach, without a four-piece band hindering their musical experiments. All of their material was self-produced, allowing the band complete creative control over their work. Over the course of [...]

Dolly Parton's "Jolene": A Popular Cover Choice For Musicians Ages 9-99 [More Dolly, I Say]

Dolly Parton's "Jolene": A Popular Cover Choice For Musicians Ages 9-99 [More Dolly, I Say] NPR's All Things Considered took a look at Dolly Parton's "Jolene" this week, which is not only the lone song my wife will sing at karaoke, but a popular target for actual musicians as well. (It was also performed by an unnamed fifth grader at my son's elementary school talent show last week. When a song hits the talent show playlist, you know it's moved into "classic" territory.) "It's a great chord progression—people love that 'Jolene' lick," Parton told NPR. "It's as much a part of the song almost as the song. And because it's [...]

FROM UNFER THE COVERS (Part 31)

Good old ctelblog has provided us with a superb and extremely rare cover version by One Dove of the song Jolene. And seeing that at least one reader got very excited by the notion of Dolly Parton cover versions, here's the same song as interpreted by Strawberry Switchblade back in 1985:- mp3 : Strawberry Switchblade - Jolene This female duo from Glasgow are thought of as a one-hit wonder

So Much For Summer...

So Much For Summer... It has been raining yesterday and all night here, and lots of rivers here in Switzerland have flooded the land. Thousands of firemen are working since hours to keep the havoc as low as possible, but there have already been major damages. In the city where I work, a building already collapsed, there were power outages, and the old wooden bridge, one of the trademarks, is in danger of being swept away. Check the pics below (the bridge is on the left side): This is how it usually looks like. [...]

Strawberry Switchblade - Sunday Morning

While it’s hard to post about Strawberry Switchblade without resorting to type and blathering about their magnificent one hit wonder ‘Since Yesterday’ I am going to persevere. The Glasgow duo of Rose McDowall and Jill Bryson may have disappeared by early 1986 but no 80’s retrospective would be complete without Bananarama’s darker and more interesting younger sisters. Their debut single ‘Trees

Strawberry Switchblade - By The Sea

Strawberry Switchblade - By The Sea Strawberry Switchblade : "From the ominous shadows of Goth suddenly appeared two young girls in polka-dot dresses, flaming red lipstick, and hair ribbons. Strawberry Switchblade made a brief splash on the U.K. charts and then abruptly vanished in the mid-‘80s, leaving their fans with a handful of collectible singles and one LP of deceptively sweet-sounding dance pop."

No Title

I love this junk shop glam rock discotheque... We will really miss our regular gig at the Chain Drive -- including our ability to play everything from Herb Alpert to The Stranglers to Luxxury to Marlene Dietrich and whatever else strikes our fancy. Strike this item off that list of things to do before we die: We had a dj residency at a leather bar. And I think they loved us -- we sure loved them. Thanks, guys! Here's the setlists, complete with links to songs we may have written about/posted in the past. Because we're nice like that. [...]
