Mo’ Shows!
Considering how excited we were when Tubelord and Olympians announced a tour together for next January, it would have been stupid not to have booked them for a Cardiff show to be honest. Hopefully you’re as excited as we are to see Tubelord play Cardiff for the first time in ages, and to see Olympians … Read more
An Island
For anyone that missed Efterklang at the Globe a few weeks back, we’d thoroughly recommend checking the film by them and Vincent Moon, ’An Island’, showing at Chapter tomorrow evening. If you’re ill-fated enough to live outside of Cardiff (or just to lazy to head down to Canton), you can check if there are any screenings near you here, … Read more
Swn Day #1
Holy shit, last night was incredible. The most fun we’ve had in AGES. Proper blog post about our stage next week sometime, but just wanted to say a huge thanks to the bands that played, all of whom were mindblowing, and everyone who came down to Dempseys. It was pretty busy all night, and the … Read more
Swn festival preview – Samoans and Yucatan
Amidst all the frantic last minute preparations for our Swn stage we’ve got a tad behind with the previews. Our grasp of the English language is declining in parallel with lack of sleep, but here are a few words about the last two bands playing our stage (probably not in actual coherent sentences, but still): Samoans Samoans have been … Read more
Swn Festival Preview – Among Brothers
Third on, we’ll actually be taking to the stage ourselves at 10pm as Among Brothers. To dispel any notions of big-headedness we should probably clarify we didn’t pick ourselves to play our own stage as Swn! It just made sense to have us play Dempseys as opposed to elsewhere to minimise rushing around – we’re … Read more
Swn Festival Preview – Right Hand Left Hand
Second up we have the instrument swappin’, loop pedal playin’ Right Hand Left Hand, on at 8:45pm. Members Rhodri and Bernie have played in some of finest bands to come out of fair city (including Vito and Ratatosk), and RHLH sees them indulging their math-ier inclinations. Impressive on record and infinitely more so live, save yourself … Read more
South By South Wales
As if we haven’t mentioned this enough already, another reminder here that we’ve been kindly asked by the Swn team to curate a stage at Dempseys on the Thursday night of Swn festival (October 21st). All the times for all stages/bands on the Thursday night are up on Swn’s Facebook page, but as far as our … Read more
BBC Introducing Take Two
Last night marked our second appearance on BBC Introducing Wales with Bethan Elfyn, this time is a slightly less promotional capacity (though shameless plugs were obviously made at every opportunity). Along with Romesh of Longwave Studios fame, we were tasked with listening to new tracks from the BBC Introducing uploader, and giving our opinions as … Read more
