Hello GoodBye presents The Telescopes and Brockley Guitar Circle performing live in session on Resonance FM this afternoon.

Emerging from the same psychedelic guitar scene of the early 1990s that yielded Spacemen 3 and My Bloody Valentine, The Telescopes have always deen dedicated to the physical force of music played at high volume. Their early records showed their deft ability as songwriters, albeit shrouded in noise and feedback. In recent years they have also employed an abstract route, releasing albums of tape noise and their most recent single which is an almost ambient cover of Nick Drake’s Black Eyed Dog.

The Brockley Guitar Circle are a 7 piece guitar group playing largely improvised, generative music. They are influenced by Steve Reich, Terry Riley and Glenn Branca among others and aim to make music that is interesting, at times challenging and that sounds nice.

Warrington born London based anti-folk troubadors Extradition Order provide the live music on the show today while poet Niall Spooner Harvey provides the proes.

Built with an equal love of Benjamin Britten and Mark E Smith, Extradition Order like to tell dark stories in a wild way. However, it was a chance meeting between the singer of Extradition Order, aged 8, and Jerry Lee Lewis that formed the idea that failure comes to us all but rock and roll is the glorious revenge. And revenge solves everything.

Their new 12? vinyl release is split into two EPs “Our Thoughts on Failure” documenting the realisation that you’re just not going to be everything you wanted to be, and “Our Thoughts on Revenge” which talks of the steady, silent anger that results.

Joining us in the Resonance live room today are Jail and Mark Tingley from Wilberforce.

Jail started off as Jon Leone’s solo project when he was a student at Leeds University. Sounding like a cross between Syd Barrett and The Fall, they have since been compared to Blur, Stephen Malkmus and Half Man Half Biscuit.

The live set has included the themes from Doctor Who and Rhubarb & Custard, as well as covers by the Fall and Television Personalites. Mark E Smith, Stewart Lee and Stuart Murdoch all have copies of their 2003 album Riot at the Health Club, and that’s true.

The band is now seven-strong, and now it is not just Jon who writes the songs. They have played on the deXter Bentley show twice before and three of them are in the studio this Saturday.

Melodic, experimental pop band Wilberforce consist of Mark Tingley, and later Melody Spires, Wilberforce were named after a Prime Minister’s cat. Their debut album “Madame Fruitbowl” came out in 2002 and was named local album of the year. There followed a string of gigs in the UK and Holland. Their very long-awaited second album “What Drama Here” is due out this summer.

Because Wilberforce is a big lumbering band, Mark is currently playing songs solo, from the earliest days to ones written the day before, and has been busking around the streets of Britain.

He wrote his first song and fronted his first group Elastic Band at 16, followed by eight years and 3 albums with Blob Hotel. Now after nearly two albums and over 15 years with Wilberforce, he’s heading out on his own for the first time.

Mark has also played in various other groups including Trojan, the Hairy Penguins, the Bat Device, and the Spook Orchestra.

Track List:

Chips For The Poor – Fistula (Ladies Mix by Robin The Fog)
The Rebel – Ham House (i/ Elizabeth Marshall, ii/ I’m Imprisoned In Ham & iii/ Will Never Leave)

The Hello GoodBye team grasp the nettle this Saturday lunchtime with not two but three different sets of performers!

Expect live music from Harry Merry, Now & Ten.

Harry Merry is one of music’s true originals, a lyrically fascinating and melodically complex songwriter who has audibly been an inspiration for artists such as John Maus, Ariel Pink and Max Tundra. He channels his myriad of influences from 60s & 70s glam to French chansons and Eastern European folk, through his Roland keyboard to produce a music which is sweetly naive and wonderfully unpredictable. He is on a rare trip to the UK a handful of live dates, we are very pleased to welcome him to the Resonance FM studio for a session.

London based, avant-kraut-pop group Now prove as ever mercurial and playful in their musical explorations, gleefully defying logic and evading ones grasp with all the aplomb of a buttered eel!

Whichever combination happens to congregate from the rather elastic line-up that comprises the Leeds based outfit Ten, one is guaranteed that the resulting sound of piano, acoustic and electric instrumentation, sparse percussion, tape hiss and ambient field recordings, will all help to create a beautiful sound-scape that moves from slow, eerie and melancholic to pulsating and optimistic.

The Marbles Jackson provide the live entertainment on this edition of The Hello GoodBye Show.

Plus, Jamie McDermott (The Irrepressibles) drops by the studio to discuss his involvement with the new Manga Opera ‘War Sum Up‘ ahead of its UK debut at the Brighton Festival later this month.

The Marbles Jackson amble down an urban folk track that meets at the crossroads of Mazzy Star and Mogwai. Formed by Terence Kirkbride and the artist NaoKo TakaHashi in 2009, the Hackney based creative duo were later joined by Simon Gwynne and Mikey Belfast Gibson in 2011. Their song ‘If Symptoms persist (Nothing wrong with me)’ is to be included on the ‘Vol. 01? compilation album on the Stella Mortos independent record label in July.

We are thrilled to herald the return to Hello GoodBye of the late 70s, original post-punk pacesetters, the band that inspired indie-pop legends The Smiths & Franz Ferdinand (to name but two); The Monochrome Set.
The collective and creative efforts of founding members Bid, Leicester Square and Andy Warren can be heard bursting effortlessly – and effervescently – forth from the new LP – their first in 17 years – entitled Platinum Coils (Disque Bleu).

The dozen songs that comprise the new album each hit the giddy and wry euphoric pop heights of the groups very best work.

The Monochrome Set – They Call Me Silence (LIVE SESSION)

Following on from our outside broadcast @ Home Front last Saturday (where we celebrated 10 years of broadcasting on 104.4 FM) we today return to Resonance HQ with our usual lunchtime helping of live music all served up for you by Jack Hayter and Olivia Chaney.

We will also be featuring a number of Record Store Day related gigs and releases.

Jack Hayter makes his solo return with “The Sisters Of St. Anthony” (Audio Anti Hero), a project that finds him set to release one single a month over the next twelve months.

Hayter is a unique songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who blurs the lines between his trad. folk influences and the London anxieties of Hefner with creaking fuzz, biting wit, indie-pop rhythms and lo-tech electronica.

St. Anthony is the patron saint of lost things. These songs are new and old, some lost and without a home. There is of course nothing especially new or remarkable about releasing twelve monthly singles, it’s just another way to enjoy his music. Each of the twelve singles will be available individually or as part of a low priced subscription series with exclusive subscription only material.

Plus, Olivia Chaney returns once more to the show. Classical taste with a modern ear; Olivia Chaney revives rambling boys and dark eyed sailors with her own, special touch. Expect to be moved by a virtuoso of unusual depth and passion. Her set includes unaccompanied Irish and English traditionals, and distilled arrangements of anything from 80’s pop to Renaissance opera, all coloured with Harmonium, guitar and her bold, young voice.

Track List:

Gallon Drunk – You Made Me
Jack Hayter – The Shackleton (LIVE SESSION)
Jack Hayter – The Lost Courier (LIVE SESSION)

The deXter Bentley Hello GoodBye Show celebrated a decade of broadcasting on Resonance 104.4 FM with an outside broadcast that took place live @ Home Front. This coincided with the opening of artist James Alec Hardy’s ’Decasia Broadcast System’ (an exhibition of archive video footage shot behind the scenes at Hello GoodBye over the years).

We kick off at 11am this morning – an hour ahead of our usual slot at noon – as Hello GoodBye celebrates a full 10 years of broadcasting on Resonance FM with an extended two and a half hour long bumper edition live at Home Front in South London. That’s longer than The Godfather.

On-site at the gallery there will be an art installation by James Alec Hardy entitled Decadia Broadcast System, that commemorates 10 years of live radio sessions, featuring footage of countless bands who maybe didn’t last much longer than the show they performed on and others who went on to greater things!

While on-air there will also be the usual glut of live music, with contributions from Way Through and Jessica Cahill and we’ll be on from 11am for a full two and a half hour bumper edition of HG ending at our usual cut-off point 1.30pm, so expect reminisces and a look to the future!
