Posted in General Clickable Music Videos Soundbite One of the best tunes I've heard this year! Well, as 2012 is less than 2 weeks old that's not saying much, but this tune 'Come and Save Me' by former Lost Valentino, Jagwar Ma is pleasing me no end. It's starts with a Phil Spector-ish wall of sound drumbeat reminiscent of The Ronettes, Be [...]

Tim Burgess de The Charlatans y Ladyhawke están terminando su canción para las fiestas Just One Kiss y será estrenada en año nuevo de una forma un poco particular. Como ya les anunciamos, Ladyhawke y Tim Burgess grabaron una canción llamada Just One Kiss que estaba pensada para salir en las fiestas. En una entrevista con NME , Burgess dijo [...]
El 31 de diciembre, es decir, el día de fin de año, ha sido la fecha elegida por Tim Burgess y Ladyhawke para presentarnos su colaboración, "Just One Kiss" . Y digo para presentarnos porque el artista de The Charlatans ha confesado que la colaboración aún no tiene todos los retoques, pero que aún así el día 31 podremos escuchar una remezcla del tema que ha preparado Clique, y podremos hacerlo a través de su programa en la BBC Radio 6 Music , una de las cadenas de la mítica BBC [...]

Unless you're getting excited about the X-Factor winner's inevitable Christmas release, or happy to step on the band-wagoning, anti-Cowell, counter-single, usually of something equally as pointless, then you can consider December something of graveyard when it comes to discovering new music. Now that the BBC Sound Of 2011 Poll has been announced, most record labels, PR firms, or self-promoting artists are now going to wait until the new year before pushing any serious, new contenders our way. It's understandable, as Christmas retail is for the mass market and the various commentators on music also need holidays too. It's [...]

A Tribe Called Quest once asked "Can I kick it?" and the answer was a resounding yes. This next band is all about kicking it, from their name, to their ethereally energetic sound. But don't get confused, they're about as hip hop as a pair of clogs. The Arcadian Kicks are a young band from the outskirts of Birmingham, who are co-managed by none other than Jon Brookes of The Charlatans - not a bad fan to have. The mixed five-some introduce an array of sounds, influences and hit on bands such as Fleetwood Mac, The Kills [...]

( He has all the answers) 20jazzfunkgreats has applied a sound-mining algorithm to its e-mail intake and established that, after filtering out the trash (90% overall), 45% of what remains falls within the loose boundaries of new age-new kosmische-new minimalism-new ambient or combinations thereof (this is after accounting for the longer average length of songs within this collection of genres). And we love it - we are after all post-psychedelean wannabe seers, and cherish any music that gives us an excuse to trample the corpus of quantum physics, psychoanalyse the constellations, or [...]

Friday Five : \'frī-(,)dā,-dē 'fīv\ : On the sixth day of every week, I hit the shuffle button on my iTunes, then share the first five tracks and thought for each track. Sometimes there is a playlist involved, occasionally we'll have a guest, but most of the time it's just me. The rest is up to you, our friends and readers! Fire up your media player of choice and share the first five random track of your shuffle in the comments. The Five: " Girls on Film " by The [...]

The Carpels January 2012 events: 8th - new single "Bears" released 14th London, This Feeling "Tips For 2012" Club Night 21st Birmingham, The Carpels and Friends, at MAC (opportunity for local talent) One of the Midlands most exciting new bands, The Carpels , aim to be at the forefront of modern cutting edge pop with their mix of punk and electronic sounds. Picking up an inspired lead from Talking Heads, LCD Soundsystem, Late of the Pier and The Fall, their sound is a 'sock it to [...]
...and then, in an act of reverence, they took their melodies, their intervals between notes, their rhythmic variation and burnt them, a sanctified offering to the great god of fuzz. And listeners looked down upon their offering, so burnt that none might partake. They smiled, nodded, and even bobbed their heads when the occasional mood

Het is eigenlijk een beetje vreemd dat Urge Overkill , dat donderdagavond optrad in de Charlatan in Gent , het meest bekend geworden is met de Neil Diamond -cover Girl, you'll be a woman soon (een nummer dat ze overigens niet in hun setlist hadden opgenomen). Want we kunnen alleen maar concluderen dat hun relatief tragere nummers het minst geslaagd blijken. Hoewel ze nog maar net een nieuw album onder de arm hebben, 16 jaar na Exit the dragon en 6 jaar na hun vorige tournee, besloten [...]
This is The Charlatans live at the Apollo, Manchester, UK, back on the 11th December 2007. The Charlatans, The Cribs and The Courteeners were just some of the bands who played at Xfm's Winter Wonderland concert at the Manchester Apollo in aid of Shelter (a UK charity that supports the homeless and lobbies on housing issues). The band played a number of high-profile supporting gigs in mid-2007, including for The Who and The Rolling Stones, at venues including Wembley Stadium and Twickenham Stadium in London, as well as the Bingley Music Live event, [...]

Le Nord a tremblé il y a quelques jours quand Veronica Falls a annoncé l'annulation de son passage à Bruxelles. Les fans peuvent d'ores et déjà se consoler puisque le groupe londonien passera par Gand le vendredi 4 novembre au Charlatan (concert Democrazy ), 4 jours avant Paris. Ce sera l'occasion pour les autres de voir sur scène le quatuor, dont l'album est sorti récemment sur le label Bella Union , trop souvent résumé à une formation qui décline pour la énième fois le mouvement C86 et toute la clique qui s'en est inspirée. [...]

Your very own Tyler Jacobson, will be providing some classic tunes in between the bands. PLAYLIST: Nick Heyward - Stars In Her Eyes The Sleepover Disaster - Funnel Cloud Doves - The Greatest Denier The Horrors - Changing The Rain [...]

Which two and a half men were totally shaggable? I guess I should be filled with a little more gratitude. If I'm never going to get the ABBA or the Smiths reunions for which I've been praying for decades now, one of the next best things might be a Stones Roses redux. Although the quartet was never huge in the U.S., the band became Britpop legends in the early '90s after only two studio albums. Next year, the four key members -- Ian Brown, John Squire, Mani and [...]

C'est une soirée pop prometteuse que Democrazy nous propose ce samedi 22, puisque Spectrals et Real Estate viendront présenter au Charlatan de Gand respectivement leurs 1 er et 2 e albums, très prochainement disséqués sur Hartzine. Si nous ne présentons plus les américains de Real Estate après leur premier effort pop lo-fi remarqué, accueillons cette heureuse réponse masculine à Best Coast , Spectrals, se dorant la pilule sur la plage d'intersection de The Jesus And Mary Chain et d' Aztec Camera . En guise de mise en [...]

Each festival is defined by its terroir: the land on which it takes place that gives it its atmosphere and reason for being. Where would Glastonbury be without its mythical rumours of ley lines and King Arthur, for instance? At first glance, the city centre of Sunderland wouldn't be considered prime real estate by festival goers. But Split Festival have found a very accommodating venue in Ashbrooke Sports Club, a cricket and rugby venue with a proud tradition of sport, and a rather fine clubhouse, which is given over for a [...]

The Charlatans - You're So Pretty, We're So Pretty (Version '06) ( mp3 )
The fourth Split Festival returns to the Ashbrooke Sports Club in Sunderland on 17th and 18th September. The two-day festival, curated by Sunderland's own Futureheads , boasts a fine slice of local talent, whilst offering enough international acts to keep even the most jaded festival-goer awake. At the time of writing, tickets are still available at the bargain price of £35 for the full weekend. For any enthusiast of the vibrant Northeast scene, or fans of its melodic, harmonised sound, the goodies on offer [...]
