Scott & Charlene’s Wedding
New album ‘Any Port in a Storm’ due out on Fire Records 22 July
UK Summer Tour Announced
Listen to “Fakin’ NYC” here! (Premiered over on Spin)
https://soundcloud.com/firerecords/sacw-fakin-nyc
The impeccably named Scott & Charlene’s Wedding are back with not so much a brand new album, as a generation’s glimpse of love, home-sickness, basketball, alienation, rock and roll and all things that matter to an expatriate Aussie stranded in New York, to be released on Fire Records in July. Any Port In A Storm is fated to become your essential backdrop to the summer of 2013. The brainchild of the amiable and unashamedly charismatic Craig Dermody, Scott & Charlene’s Wedding offer a sonically charged take on the Lemonheads’ ramshackle melodicism and Pavement’s lo-fi drawl.
Craig Dermody and pals will be hitting the road in the UK and Europe with a ridiculous amount of shows in England including a slot at Glastonbury, the Yes Way Festival and East End Live, a headline show at the Victoria in Dalston (promoted by Upset the Rhythm) and a whole host of classic instores at likely and unlikely venues, including Flashback in London, a yoghurt shop, a pie shop and Urban Outfitters in York. You should definitely take the opportunity to catch them while you can! Dates below.

New Virginia Wing single ‘Red Sails’ is out today!
Clash Magazine called it “enchanting, bewildering indie-pop with a poetic flair”, we just think it’s mega.

Music-Diary: R. Stevie Moore (+Keel Her) @ Blind Tiger Club, Brighton
(Source: www.myoldkentuckyblog.com)Keel Her: The electro trash experimental whatever one woman project I expected turned out to be a 4 piece band - blues rock band even. A fat funky bass, an ambitious boyfriend playing one of two guitars and leading on stage. Maybe my 20 minutes…

http://www.wegottickets.com/event/212593New Critical Heights signings Honeyslide are set to release the follow up to their sold-out debut cassette the Honeyslide EP with a double A side 10” featuring two lead tracks “Drippin’” and “Deep Architecture”, plus two further tracks “Sugar Routine” (which you can listen to here: https://soundcloud.com/criticalheights/honeyslide-sugar-routine) and “Untitled #240”. Swathed in reverb, bathed in noise and drowned in dreamy vocals, Honeyslide blend the experimental with the melodic to provide thrillingly provocative sounds.
The 10” captures a specific moment in time in the history of Honeyslide, with a cross section of work from the end of 2012, less than a year after the recording and release of their debut EP. The new record features a track from their debut, the first song they ever wrote, “Drippin’”, which has been lovingly remastered. The rest of the tracks represent the progress of an adolescent band as they grapple with discovering their true sound, whilst having a hell of a time along the way.
Even the artwork comments on the continuously evolving nature of the band, featuring the original Honeyslide EP artwork defaced with splattered paint, virtually obscuring the image. The band are saying goodbye to the old version of Honeyslide as they hurtle onwards creatively, constantly evolving, continually changing and poised to become something utterly spectacular.
Based in London, Honeyslide comprises the core trio of Josh (guitar), Mo (guitar/vocals) and Meytal (bass/vocals). Their live shows are intense and brutally loud, having shared the stage with bands such as Swedish punks Holograms, Dignan Porch and Yuck’s bassists side project Parakeet. The band will be playing a lot more in 2013, keep your ears peeled.
“Honeyslide make sluggish lullaby grunge, the shoulder‐shrugging melodic entreaties carried on waves of anesthetized guitar crunch” – Don’t Die Wondering
“The entrancing five minute track is dribbling with romantic sludge.” ‐ Sexbeat
