Surprise! The album CATTLE AND HUM is out today over at Bandcamp: https://markettavern.bandcamp.com/releases It's free for book purchasers and cheap for everyone else.
Cattle And Hum is a 19 song compilation of underground moo-sic from The Kidderminster Market Tavern, the short-lived, sort-of iconic, gloriously chaotic and thoroughly unhygienic Midlands music venue. It features NEW AND UNHEARD music by Fretblanket, Pop Am Good, Panic Beach, massive hits from Scrash, Downward Thing, Cake (UK), Dive and loads more.
Morning! The book I've been 'helping' Mark Dawson write about the Kidderminster Market Tavern is now available to pre-order! https://markettavern.bandcamp.com/
It's 200 full-colour pages packed-full of photos, mirth and memorabilia and featuring bands, big and small: Slowdive, Sebadoh, Radiohead, Ned's Atomic Dustbin, Chumbawamba, Cardiacs, The Selecter, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Wedding Present, Extreme Noise Terror, Autechre, The God Machine, Midway Still, Senseless Things, Carter USM, The Primitives, Adorable and hundreds more. The stories are told by the people who were there. bringing this iconic, chaotic, and thoroughly unhygienic venue back to life.
It's time to roll up your sleeves and head on down to St Vincent's because the BEST EVER episode of West Midlands Hospital Radio is out now.
This week we give blood a bad name and plunge the needle deep into an armful of red hot hits, as we put the punk in arterial puncture, and the disco into…. Discoing to hurt a little bit... (what?)
Tune in now for a sticky pool of pumping pop thumpers for every kind of blood type. A, B, AB… even, and I apologise for this, a little bit of Type O Negative…. PLUS! at least one genuinely good joke! Jingles! A massive rave up! A surprisingly heartfelt tribute to Discharge! Celebrities struggling to start their cars! Taylor Swift, Slayer AND Spitting Blood! All on the same bloody show!
