In other news.....
Our Label Armellodie records have organised a super fun instore!
Care to join us? It's free! (But you could buy a record or four if you please!)
Starting with a host of Armellodie's finest in Avalanche Records (5 Grassmarket), prepare for some stripped down dancing in plim-sole sets from The Scottish Enlightenment, Le Reno Amps, Something Beginning With L and Cuddly Shark.
Who they? What they? Why they? ...
The Scottish Enlightenment are quiet, but like a falling bomb is quiet, like an embryo is quiet, like the sibilant steam drifting ominously above a silent culdera. They hummmmmm melodiously like a microwave, slowly incubating their songs with the full time dedication and care of a placenta.
Born of sorrow in the North East of Scotland, Le Reno Amps continue their quest to reconfigure their musical landscape with p.o.p vitamins, Scott Maple and Al Nero swap lead vocals and trade harmonies with a certain joie de vivre. .
Juxtaposing scuzzy electric guitars and buzzing synthesizers with acoustic fragility and electro-beats, guided into the light by the salient crystalline vocals of Lucy Parnell and Jen Macro who offer bliss-out close harmonies, melancholy and absorbing into the band’s encapsulating dream-pop.
The return of Callin’ Colin on guitar and vocals, Jables Sexual on drums and Hoofbert on bass guitar is getting the Armellodie crew wet, wet, wet! Having released the best rock record like eva in 2009, the band went to ground last year to write the follow up which they’ll be committing to tape this summer with their songs stemming from an anarchic and free spirited unique romanticism, they’re a huggable beast and sexxxy as fuck.
...then we can all get munch and head to the full-on rock-show at SNEAKY PETE'S with more Armellodie goodness from THE DOUGLAS FIRS and SOMETHING BEGINNING WITH L, plus special guests PLASTIC ANIMALS. Event page for that show is here -FACEBOOK FUN PAGE!
Oh what a day! Oh what a night!
