“Superb" BBC Introducing

Owing to the nature of where we’re based, we rarely get the chance to reach out to bands or artists outside of the UK but from time to time, we do. We recently chatted to an indie rock quartet called NEW CHUMS who are based in Phoenix, Arizona which as the crow flies is 5180 miles away, a little further afield than we’re used to….

We caught up with Matt Lloyd from the band to chat about their latest single, music videos and future plans to play in Europe, read on to see how we got on….

I recently ran an interview feature with Exeter based multi genred quartet WITTERQUICK, during which I learned that they were playing a 6 date UK tour, culminating in a homecoming show at The Cavern in the heart of Exeter on July 26th, I just had to be at the show to see what all the hype was about….

LYKKE LI’S YOLA DÍA TO HIT L.A. ON AUGUST 18 WITH PERFORMANCES FROM LYKKE LI, CAT POWER, SOPHIE, COURTNEY LOVE & THE CHATEAU BAND, MEGAN THEE STALLION, KELSEY LU, EMPRESS OF, AND CUPCAKKE

After weeks of sunshine where festivals that normally fall fowl to the curse of disastrous weather conditions (Glastonbury), it was pure bad luck that I woke on the morning of day one of Chagstock to the sound of hard rain falling. I always plan for mixed weather conditions and ensure that I pack accordingly, plenty of layers, waterproof jacket, walking boots or wellies and a bin liner to put all the soiled garments in when I finally pack up after spending the weekend yomping about in a field overlooking the Chagford hills. The forecast looked like things were going to improve and as at 11am, the rain had eased off, the clouds were still there but it looks like things might dry up a bit in time for the first acts to hit the stages.

Read on to see how the weekend went….

Japanese pop with a UK jazz-funk twist: performed by the critically acclaimed James Taylor Quartet and UK-based singer Naomi Suzuki.

Special guest stars make this concert an unmissable experience. Yuriko Kotani, the BBC New Comedy Award winning comedian, will open the event and superstar actress and singer Mari Natsuki is travelling from Japan especially to give an exclusive performance. There will also be a traditional daikagura routine by Michiyo Kagami - a unique combination of talents!

Yasmin Kiddle is a self-taught musician (guitar, bass, drums and, for good measure, piano!), writing, composing, playing and even producing the bulk of her material, initially in her converted bedroom and more recently in Paul Weller’s Black Barn studio, via personal invitation!

Festival season is in full flow and last weekend it was the turn of CORNBURY to welcome the crowds soak up the lush surroundings of Great Tew Park for a weekend of fun and frivolity. The lineup was, as in previous years impressive.

Recorded live at her landmark SOLD-OUT home town show in Nottingham’s Trinity Church earlier this year, the album will comprise 12 tracks of spellbinding original material (some never before released), choice cover-versions, plus candid conversation that elegantly captures all sides of Georgie in one of her greatest performances to date.
