BORED YOUTH ON PROZAC ON 12th APRIL 2008

Jump-up Country Punk meets Indie Pop Oddness !


SOME DOGS

Band members have been on the country & punk scene in England for twenty years, having served time with bands like Demented Are Go!, Big Boy Tomato, Macavity's Cat, The Mekons, The Men They Couldn't Hang, Do The Moog, Hagar the Womb, The Buc-Buc-Bucket band. The band was formed by Jim Dog & Big Bird on a simple premise - country tunes & lyrics kick emotional ass but if they were speeded up and put through a Marshall they would kick audio ass too. This turned out to be correct. Some Dogs champion some of the cheesy classic currently denegrated by the new country orthodoxy. They also play some lesser known corkers, which they believe merit wider appreciation.

HELLO WEMBLEY

"Weird keys and lopsided guitar, the playing is raw and ruff…elements of Art Brut but the vocals remind us too of The MC5 and The Velvet Underground, synth punk gurus of some note"

"Punky, trashy, a real garbage can of rock"

They've played headline slots at The Hope and Anchor, Islington, The Purple Turtle, Camden, The legendary Afterdark Club, Reading, The Cellar Bar and South Hill Park arts centre.

MOZZY GREEN

'Mozzy Green are a strange and unique band but something universal and fundamental about what they do makes incredibly diverse groups of people all individually connect with them. If they don't make it in music, then there is something tragically wrong with the world' - Chris Meales, Editor, Panic Magazine

'Mozzy Green are already one of the stand out acts of this year. Their line up a touch unconventional, acoustic guitar with cello and drums, their music builds and enchants through effortless melodies and emotive performance'
- The Bull and Gate

'Really like their sound, it's vibey in the best way' - minnie driver, actress

THE PRELUDE

Any group who refer to the guitar as ‘the gitbox’ are always going to be worth a listen. Describing themselves as ‘less rock and more roll’, Liverpool’s The Prelude are a bewildering proposition. Melding Dylan with the wildness of The Pogue’s they have crafted a sound that is drowning in whiskey, rhythm and thought. Tight, dextrous and laden with hooks it would be easy to get lost in their unified Irish jamboree of big choruses and whimsical folk. However beneath the collective euphoria lies true lyrical depth. Telling sad stories with an expert eye, eloquent narratives rich in texture are weaved; all pathos, melancholy and social observation. Overwhelming live, it would be impossible to not be swept up in their shamelessly high spirits. Not to mention the all-for-one-hedonism of their after parties which are so raucous they provoked a Neighbourhood Watch protest march.
