We had a great time with AJJ. We met them at Retro Bar, from where, after a long discussion about Barsuk Records, we headed to the ‘Eureka Statue’ near Sackville Street. We had met some die hard fans along the way, who were cordially invited to come and watch the session. Everyone left smiling after witnessing this incredible performance. Come back soon AJJ!

We met Lauren Pritchard before her incredible show at The Deaf Institute in October. We were blown away by her emotionally charged vocals and raw power in this acoustic rendition of ‘Not The Drinking’.

After a tip off from Jo Rose, we knew we had to get a piece of the Minnikin pie. We were invited down to Gabriel’s lovely home to film this beautiful session and were made to feel very welcome among the old tape machines and books. Enjoy.

Review: Surfer Blood #2

We were so excited to film with Surfer Blood we couldn’t help but inform the customs police at Philadelphia airport. They didn’t seem impressed, maybe if they knew how good ‘Swim’ was, they would have let us through customs without the two hour interrogation.

Review: Stereo Sons #1

After an interesting bus journey up an impossibly steep hill into the suburbs of Capitol Hill, we finally found Stereo Sons’ HQ in a sleepy neighbourhood. We arrived early so took in the lovely Seattle rain, while sat on what we hoped was the band’s front porch. We were given beer and a lift, as well as being treated to this college rock tune.

Review: The Head And The Heart #1

Having missed the opportunity to film with The Head and the Heart in Portland, we were relieved to find out they lived in Seattle! Upon our return to this great city we headed to meet up with them. We walked up to Capitol Hill and as was our custom, got lost. We finally arrived at Charity’s house and were greeted on her roof by many lovely people, amazing views and cold beer!
