She was also a member of the reformed Slits a few years ago (The opening track is a tribute to Ari Up). A nice laid back pop reggae vibe goes through this whole album. Some people might find it a bit samey but I enjoyed it.
Luke Haines - Adventures In Dementia
OH MY GOD!!!!!!
I am fanboying so hard right now,
Luke Haines, formerly of one of my favourite bands The Auteurs releases a mini album rock opera about Mark E Smith of The Fall, my other favourite band.
I've not heard it yet but here's what the official blurb says about it...
A Mark E Smith impersonator and members of Fall Group are en route to a rock 'n' roll festival. Members of Fall Group are not aware that 'MES' is actually an MES imposter.
Smith is driving a battered Renault 5 and towing a Swift Swallow caravan (possibly under the influence of amphetamine sulphates and alcohol) when he crashes into an Austen Maestro. The Austin Maestro is being driven by a skinhead: Ian Stuart, lead singer of notorious 'white power' band Skrewdriver...
Even before I've heard a note I'm loving it, greatest concept album idea ever. |
Yes. I am on these. Right now.
