GIRL POWER! The Notorious New Wave Show - Host Gina Achord - July 26, 2013

HT: Thanks to Gina for including us in Part 2 of her 'Girl Power' selection featuring tracks from female fronted bands. A few of our favourites can be heard here from Ladytron; Propaganda; Lene Lovich and Grace Jones to name a few. That old Taylor Dayne track is a bit of a guilty pleasure / blast from the past as well. Anyway, it's a top mix; we're on our second listen. We'll let you decide whether Gina has left the best 'til last...

 [Visual metaphor for women doing technie stuff]

It's also really pleasing to us that our music has been played by so many female indie DJs and podcasters beginning with the lovely Fiona Ledgard who indulged us on her 'Anything Goes Breakfast Show' on the day that we released our album.

It's common knowledge that the music industry is, and always has been, very sexist and it's not that long ago that Annie Nightingale was the only DJ on BBC Radio 1, and as such was seen as bit of an oddity by some, because girls can't do techie stuff can they? So, here's a big shout out to all those clever girlies who've found the 'on' switch and managed to DJ our tunes - click on their names for even more podcasts: Peff Soulsby; Lee Adcock; Barbara Laurson; Fallen Rock Zone aka Sherry and Barb; Factory Acts; Miss Kitty; Sheila Chipperfield and Kayla at Radio Alchemy

Thank you laydees! But back to the task in hand: Here's the latest edition of The Notorious New Wave Show.

Fallen Rock Zone-Alternative Show 18th July 2013

While we were away at our lovely holiday castle in Wales (see pictures of Owen below) we missed one of our favourite online radio shows, Fallen Rock Zone.

 

Not only that, the lovely ladies at FRZ played one of our jingles that we made for them a while back, and we missed hearing that too! Never fear: if like us you have been gadding about in the sunshine and have missed the show, you can listen again. Just click here and you will be transported into an alternative musical world which is much cooler in every sense than the train we got back from our holiday...but that's another story which involves lots of grouching, so we'll leave you to the music. You can also download it and keep it forever. Thanks as always to Sherry and Barb for playing our music. xx

T!TN on Radio Alchemy - hot stuff!

HT: On Friday we returned sunkissed and mellow from a brief holiday jaunt to Welsh Wales, land of song, to find ourselves on a lovely languid slightly shoegazey indie track list from Radio Alchemy.

 

Owen on holiday. 

This is our first appearance on a Radio Alchemy show, but we have listened to previous editions - they're usually right up my street being a fan of classic indie / alternative music. This latest one gets off to a great start with Joy Division, The Smiths then Tingle In The Netherlands. I still get a bit of a buzz when DJs play our music alongside some of my favourites. You'll also find some classic Buzzcocks in this mix but for the most part I'd say it's quite a sultry shoegazey selection, perfect for the hot weather we're having in the UK. That said, there's a bit of Salt-N-Pepa in there too; I'll fess up to owning their album on a cassette from way back when... Listen out too for a new track from Mazzy Star. Apparently this is the first new recording from Mazzy Star in 17 years. I've also got an album of theirs on cassette that was the soundtrack to a summer trip to Ireland in a combi van many years ago....but that's another story. Like I said - this is a great collection of summery sounds to enjoy in the heat. We'd like to say a big thanks to Kayla for playing our song and also for mentioning our website, Bandcamp and facebook pages. Thanks Kayla!

The mixcloud is at the bottom of the page, but before you click 'play' here's a request from the Kayla, the show's host :

 Alchemists! Please help Radio Alchemy out! I entered the show in a contest where I could win the chance to go to Zurich, Switzerland and talk to radio folks. How can you help? Please go to my Mixcloud profile and listen to, favorite, and comment on my shows. To listen you don't need a profile though you may need one to favorite & comment but it won't take long. This is a big opportunity. I would be forever grateful if you can help. This MUST be done BEFORE tomorrow, Tuesday, July 23rd. So please do it now if you can! And thank you, so so much ♥.

Soundscape Broadcast #3: Daddy Tank Dippin' + New Horizons

Another thank you to Lee Adcock  for including us on this latest mixcloud. Thanks also for reminding us of the band Dissolved - a band that we keep hearing about, and first heard on Mark Whitby's Dandelion Radio show  one afternoon when we were listening out for one of our tracks. We're no fans of the 'radio edit' and commented at the time on how refreshing it was to hear a track of over 9 minutes duration being played on Mark's March show, which is still available on mixcloud.  The track in question was this one:

Another friend of ours on facebook, musician Pinklogik, was also singing the praises of Dissolved recently and shared a link to this album Telemetry Embers which is free to download. So, lots of dots joining up there, but anyway, back to the mixcloud podcast which includes one of our tracks but is also, in part, a celebration of the Daddy Tank record label  which released the 'Surge of Lucid' album pictured above - we'll leave it to Lee to give you the full details of what's to come.

"Hello! After a brief hiatus, the Soundscape Memoirs Broadcast is back. 

In today's installment, we're shining a spotlight on the enigmatic Daddy Tank label, with six cuts from their catalogue. And, as usual, I'm showcasing new releases and relatively new releases that have tickled my fancy in the past month or so. Brace yourself, however, for a brand new feature, in which I ask YOU to help me review a brand new single of dubious quality from My Personal Murderer. Lend your voice in the comments box below - bonus points to you if you can relate the tune to their previous EP! 

To follow up on any tune that piques your interest, click on the URL below for the full setlist and links to each release/track. I've also thrown in a few bonus videos to make up for my prolonged absence.
