“’Impressive, enigmatic, lovely and atmospheric… His feet are on the ground, his head in the air’”
Pitchfork

“…its luscious, looped tension pushing gently but insistently through a membrane of half-whispered, blissed-out pop.Trust us, it’s bloody lovely.”
Time Out

“’undoubtedly impressive
Uncut

“A blanket of bee-swarm fuzz, shrouded drums, and echoey vocals… Totally gorgeous.”
SPIN

“Quite possibly one of the most mesmerising, and undoubtedly unique outfits currently surfing the block.”
Drowned in Sound

“Highly recommended.”
Gorilla vs Bear

“… a forward thinking individual whose melodis, noisy concoctions are far removed from the paint-by-numbers fare currently clogging up our server… There’s clearly evidence of something special special brewing outside of the spotlight’s glare tonight.”
The Stool Pidgeon

“Covering Burial is weird. Doing it with a Joy Division sample, synths and half a guitar is amazing.”
NME

THEORETICAL GIRL

Clash Magazine – ….”At the heart of this record are sparkling, perfectly constructed pop songs, brimming with catchy choruses and joyful hand clapping. But, within moments, that delicate facade can fall away sharply to reveal an aggressive indie stance pulsing with electro madness…..” – 8/10

Wears The Trousers – “….a gifted songwriter with an ear for traditional, high-art pop that she tweaks and customises into something delectably her own…..” – 4/5

Uncut – “…Turnnidge is able to house her well-observed tales of heartbreak, loss and jealousy in beguiling chamber-pop arrangements, all the stronger for being so understated…..” – 3/5

NME – “…..the Southend songwriter has managed to build her own distinct and powerfully pretty white picket fence of sound…..” – 8/10

Subba-Cultcha – “….There’s still a raw feel to the tracks and the angular at times post-punk like style of the album makes Theoretical Girl an interesting proposition….” – 4/5

musicOMH – “…..dark, deep, mournful and rich while still managing to be a beautiful pop album…” – 4/5

Bearded – “….Turnnidge has the potential to become a real star…..”

BBC – “……Mostly the standard is closer to that of The Biggest Mistake: a golden, swirling moment of beatific pop wonder……”

DROPKICK ALBUM LAUNCH

“ Scotland ’s 3^rd best band for 2009 … more hooks than Bob Nudd’s fishing bag” The Scotsman.

 

“Songs that capture a power pop spirit tinged with a country edge, shimmering guitars and vocal harmonies recall classic California bands and more local contemporaries such as Teenage Fanclub and Daniel Wylie” Americana UK.

Dropkick was formed by brothers Andrew and Alastair Taylor at school in a small town on the east coast of Scotland around 10 years ago. Starting off as a punk-pop band, the brothers discovered the music of The Jayhawks, The Byrds and Wilco and their sound gradually matured into more of an alt-country style but without losing the upbeat, catchy melodies of their songs. Since their self-titled debut album in 2001, they have had a succession of critically acclaimed releases on their own Taylored Records label. The latest of these “Dot The i” was released in March 2008 and has now been re-issued by Spanish label Rock Indiana Records. The band’s current album “Patchwork” was their first to be released on Swedish label Sound Asleep Records.

Dropkick’s 9th album “Abelay Hotel” is released on 12^th September 2009. Named after a hotel the band stayed in during their headline tour of Spain earlier this year, the album not only enhances their reputation as being Scotland’s most prolific band, but also strengthens their claim to be “Scotland’s finest alt-country power-pop band.” (Tom Morton, BBC Radio Scotland ).

Special guests for the album launch gig will be TBC and former Dead Beat Club frontman Andy Tucker (now of Tucker & The Scattered Family) who will be opening the show with a solo acoustic set.

Another cracking lineup from This Is Music.

COME ON GANG and DUPEC will be on for the early gig section (8-midnight).

At the club slot, TOTALLY ENORMOUS EXTINCT DINOSAURS are the new heroes of GRECO-ROMAN records, run by one HOT CHIP. Cute 8-bit pop combines with TOTALLY ENORMOUS BASSLINE HOUSE to leave you grinning while your booty is shaking. Superb.

SORRY FOLKS, EDWIN IS BACK IN THE STUDIO SO WON’T BE ABLE TO COME UP TO SEE US.

SNEAKY BEATS WILL GO AHEAD AS ITS USUAL EXCELLENT SELF.

Keeping up with Foals’ mad pace is ace keyboard player Edwin. Foals gave us a great DJ set a couple of years back – a real highlight of 07 – and this should be even better.
