13-15 May, 2011 We live in hard times, friends. Not hard like it was back in the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s obviously, or even the early 80s of course but you know, bread is pricey these days, so pretty damn hard. The enforced economic cutbacks are far reaching and have inevitably spread to everyone's favourite indie-cred festival, ATP . Now down to just one May festival from the previous years' 2, one will become none in 2012 due to a big dip in ticket sales caused by all manner of possible reasons; a perceived lack of [...]
Attention hipsters! Today we have something especially formulated for your jaded and delicate musical palettes. You will be delighted by the lo-fi bedroom stylings of Ms Feather Listeners of a more mature disposition may be particularly enchanted by the distorted shouting on Tonight is the Nite , reminiscent of the glory days of the estimable Mark E. Smith, of Prestwich, Greater Manchester. Guaranteed good against all modern ailments, maladies and barbitalgias. Tickley Feather - Tonight is the Nite (alternate download)
For this week's edition (which comes just a few days after last week's thanks to my lack of remembering to post things, cuz I'm smart), I asked twitter to select a random word and our friend IndieBeanie was the first to reply with the suggestion of "Feather". I was at first a little unsure that there would even be too many search results with that word, but I gave it a go anyway, and luckily, as usual, it all worked out for the best. First up is a tune from Bristol band Chorchazade ,read [...]

If you were to wake up in an underwater dream, you might find that it's scored by Tickley Feather. While lo-fi has run the range of necessity due to limited resources, to a conscious and fashionable aesthetic, Annie Sachs has stayed the course with her Tickley Feather project, driving the music through dated technology in order [...]
Monday: Shark?, Dinosaur Feathers, Coyote Eyes, + I'm Turning Into @ Cameo Gallery 7pm $tba [ info ] For the past couple weeks Dinosaur Feathers have reigned over Cameo Gallery's Monday nights. The band have loaded up their residency with fantastic support acts and tonight's may just be the strongest consisting of three former "Band of the Week". It helps that they not only provide awesome music but that there is also free Miller High Life, PBR, and well drinks all night long. So come on out, get drunk, and regret it at your [...]

I had a weird dream last night and it should've been accompanied by the soundtrack of Tickley Feather. The talented female that is Annie Sachs has just released a 12" filled with aquatic, echoey, tones and warped vocals called 'Hors D'oeuvres' on Paw Tracks. There are a few acts around deeming a similar guise, stemming from Ariel Pinks' offerings, but Tickley Feather holds her heads above the rest. The album sways you around in a euphoric fug from start to end, highlights are 'Don't Call, Marilyn' and 'Trashy Boys'. You can grab her self titled debut album too. [...]
