Hello GoodBye Show 24 March 2012: Booze and One Unique Signal

Performing live in session on the show this afternoon we have both Booze and One Unique Signal.

Booze:
A supergroup no less of Demian Castellenos of previous guests on the Hello GoodBye Show, The Oscillation and Milo Smee of psychedelic space orchestra Chrome Hoof, who paired up to form the wonderfully named Booze to record their sparse, bass-driven debut LP 1/2 for All Time Low Recordings while on break from their main projects. The music is hypnotic and minimal and has just been taken out of the studio for their first live tour.

One Unique Signal:
Making their live debut on Resonance FM, One Unique Signal have been wowing the kids with their guitar noise attack for a couple of years now. With an album and EP to their name, they are repetitive, loud and well strung out, or as described by head Head Julian Cope: “the many headed mole that is One Unique Signal wears a German helmet surmounted by an all-weather arc light, kevlar’n’steel shoulder epaulets and close fitting drainage boots, his weapon-of-choice is the archaic-but-reliable Binson Echoplex, his totem is the gatefold inner of ON YOUR FEET OR ON YOUR KNEES (molto guitars’n’loco drone), and his sparse Inner Soundtrack appears to have been informed by a simply repeated diet of HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN GRILL-period Hawkwind, the aforemenched Loop and plenny plenny Spacemen Three.” — Julian Cope, Head Heritage Album of the Month

Hello GoodBye Show 17 March 2012: Tylehurst Children’s Arkestra and Teta Mona

Two Hello GoodBye debuts this lunchtime with Tilehurst Childrens Arkestra and Teta Mona performing LIVE & DIRECT!

Formed by five old friends from Reading, Tilehurst Children’s Arkestra have been playing in and around the South East since 2007. Their sound is as equally informed by teenage obsessions with metal, indie rock and rap music as it is by their more mature tastes in krautrock, jazz, and progressive rock – yet their main aim is to produce short, sharp, precise bursts of songs, a far cry from the endless faffing about associated with many of these genres.

December 2011 sees the release of Kopfsalatrock, Tilehurst Children’s Arkestra’s debut album, and it is the very epitome of DIY. The album was engineered, produced, and mixed by the band. They also produced the artwork themselves, funded it’s pressing onto 10 inch vinyl, and are releasing it in conjunction with Reading based label doubledotdash!? – a label that various members of the band have been heavily involved with since it started in 2004.

Potty mouthed perfect pop-punksters! Teta Mona is a side project that recently formed out of 2 London based bands; No Cars (Kyoko and Sachiko) and Screaming Tea Party (Teresa & Nyian). Teta Mona is a brand new project that originally began as a solo act for Teresa (ex STp, New York Howl, the Catcher Nine) but very quickly developed into a full band as the result of a spontaneous jam session that broke out at Scar studio, Camden.

Hello GoodBye Show 10 March 2012: Female Band and Little Sparta

Little Sparta and Female Band are live in the studio!

LITTLE SPARTA are a London based three piece featuring Alan D. Boyd (guitar), Susie Honeyman (violin) and Scott Skinner(drums). From having been described as ‘bittersweet and unpretentious’ by Pitchfork (7/10) for their first release Scalpel Slice (Fire Records) the band have continued to explore the out of the ordinary while maintaining the ‘Elegant, waning violins and craggy folkisms..” (NME) that have come to define their sound.
And re-scheduled due to illness we at last have Female Band bringing their reverb drenched, atmospheric song-scapes live to the Capital’s airwaves. Female Band say: ‘We’re more interested in talking about our music than ourselves. We are very excitable young ladies and perhaps a few beers would settle our nerves before the show if this is at all possible we would be entirely grateful.’

Hello GoodBye Show 3 March 2012: Astrakan, Tanya Auclair, Bird’s Eye View

Both Astrakan and Tanya Auclair return to Hello GoodBye this Saturday lunchtime to perform live in session.

Astrakan are undoubtedly influenced by jazz and progressive music the band has been described by some commentators as continuing a line of British bands started by the likes of Henry Cow and earlier Soft Machine (Third and Fourth). The band see themselves as multi-influenced post-fusionists with an open ear for any and all means to convey their ideas however. Familiar descriptive labels either seem to be inadequate or inaccurate, so they prefer to let listeners do their own categorising.

Hailing from West London, via Canada and Rwanda – Tanya Auclair’s musical upbringing straddled very different worlds. Her lo-fi adventures in experimental pop are a beguiling mix of playful DIY drums, layers of voice, intricate uke and guitar melodies and touches of electronica. Citing influences as wide-ranging as “Bongo Joe”

Coleman, Fever Ray, Matthew Herbert, Juana Molina and E.S.G, her open instinctive approach shows in the territory she covers from the 60s doowop, delicate folk, to feverish rhythms and oscillating synths.

An excitement for music made from ‘minimal means’ has given rise to her distinctive sound and compelling one-woman-band show. She builds her songs live, sampling her voice with a loop pedal and playing different instruments.

The multi-instrumentalist has worked with the likes of Matthew Herbert’s Big Band Ensemble, Charlie Dark, Yult and Arista Hawkes, featured on Brownswood Bubblers 7 and is currently working on a film score commission for the Birds Eye View Festival.

Hello GoodBye Show 25 March 2012: O-Arc

O-ARC is a creative collaboration between Masa Iida, singer-songwriter from Yokohama, Japan, and Neil Mason, a London-born guitarist. It could be said Neil’s guitar playing, at once tranquil and explosive, is the perimeter line that appears to enclose Masa’s poetry—words, rhythm and melody impossible to contain. Masa and Neil literally come from worlds apart but they approach music with a singular heart. Their Japanese and English sensitivities compliment each other. Poetic, atmospheric and meditative, the O-Arc blend is, in a way, even therapeutic:healing. Masa’s lyrics are greatly influenced by Haiku poetry. He prefers few words to express feelings and thoughts.

Hello GoodBye Show 18 February 2012: Mucky Sailor

Mucky Sailor have set sail from Leeds, and navigated the length of the M1 to be with us today. The 2 man three piece, they set their synthesisers, vocals and drums to extremely high distortion. We loved their split EP with the late, lamented Poltergroom from last year (not least because it came with a free pencil) and spun their side Requiem for Sports Car on the show a few times last year. Their upcoming album Early Lad (slated for release in January 2037, according to their website) also displays their musical virtuosity and ability to peck from different genres especially in the orchestrated “Albatross, Silly Albatross” which features full brass section and micro dub breakdown two thirds of the way through.

And we are very excited to hear they will be bringing their own, bespoke musical ship’s wheel! — 8 tunable oscillators are played in sequence when you spin the wheel! We love a band who bring a visual element to their radio session.

And this is I Love Resonance FM week — the long and short of it is that Resonance needs £30k and quick to feed the monkeys that power the transmitter. So we want you to show your love in the only gesture that really counts in this harsh world, yes, that’s giving money! But not money for nothing — there are on air auctions all week, so listen in and bid!

We – as last year – on the Hello GoodBye Show are selling off a show minute by minute at a rate of just £10 each!

Hello GoodBye Show 11 Feb 2012: Blang Records Special

A Blang Records special on Hello GoodBye today, featuring live music from: Sergeant Buzfuz & Slate Islands.

Joe Murphy fronts the band Sergeant Buzfuz who hail from all over these islands but are based in South London. April 9th 2012 will see the release of the 5th Buzfuz LP: “Go To The Devil And Shake Yourself” (Blang Records) in which he chronicles the first fourteen centuries of the history of the papacy. This project all began when Joe tried telling a potted history of the papacy within the confines of a 5 minute pop(e) song, he eventually stopped when the song clocked up a full 7 minutes (and had only just reached the end of the first millennium!) The first half of the new album is loosely rooted in the traditional folk/pop song style, while the second half becomes a more experimental mix of post-punk, dub, ambient and improv.

Sergeant Buzfuz will be performing “Go To The Devil And Shake Yourself” as a one-man show for sixteen nights at the Edinburgh Festival Free Fringe in August 2012.

In 2002 Joe became the first person outside the US to promote Anti-Folk when he started his monthly Blang nights at London’s 12 Bar Club featuring many acts from NYC. These nights became a focal point for the nascent London Anti-Folk community and sparked the formation of the Blang record label (which Joe co-runs with JJ Crash). Antifolk is modern folk music with an emphasis on story-telling. Other Blang acts include Thomas Truax and David Cronenberg’s Wife.

While the members of the contemporary, Celtic folk-noir group Slate Islands are currently based in South London, they all originally hail from far further afield (their lead singer Polly MacLean grew up on a small island in the Inner Hebrides.) Their songs grow in the gaps between places: Scotland and England, the island and the mainland, the country and the city, past and present, reality and fantasy.

Track List:

Johnny Dankworth his Orchestra & Guests – Serjeant Buzfuz
Sergeant Buzfuz – Hole In The Wall (LIVE SESSION)
Sergeant Buzfuz – Gregory XII Vs. Benedict XIII (LIVE SESSION)

Hello GoodBye Show 4 February 2012: Izes and Goodbye Leopold

Arriving all the way from Poland to perform live in session on the show today is the artist Izes. Also; lending their choral talents to the show we have Goodbye Leopold.

After her debut as an actress in Barry Adamson’s movie “Therapist“, started to work on her solo project as a singer and composer, cooperating with polish improv musicians Marek Rogulski, Andrzej Izdebski, Michal Gos, Irek Wojtczak and classic violonist Ewa Kaszuba. She returned to acting, playing a role in the punk-rock group Vulgar in their music video for “Tschenstahau”, which premieres in early 2012.

Izes is an artist that experiments within many areas of art. She has worked with photographers Sylwia Makris and Christian Weiss and clothing designer/artist Bartholomäus Wischnewski. As well as creating visualisations and short films she also composes music for shows (most recently for the Theaterkontor in Bremen (Germany) for the project Urban Desert, collaborating with director Tobias Pflug.)

Goodbye Leopold combine the ethereal sound of three blended voices, choreography and a unique aesthetic to communicate their ideas, intrigues and passions. Their holistic approach to delivering music stimulates all the senses. Their focus is to create alluring atmospheres within which the audience is easily connected to the concept the piece is illustrating whilst being given the freedom to imagine their own meaning. Their work is either self- composed or their original arrangements of obscure songs from across the globe. They experiment with the extremities of the human voice with improvisation, adopting abstract sounds and techniques and playing with tension and release in their dynamics. Each Goodbye Leopold set explores a different concept. At the moment Goodbye Leopold are experimenting with singing Christmas Carols in reverse.
