Hello GoodBye Show 19 May 2012: Jail and Mark Tingley from Wilberforce
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.

Outsider In – Miss Roberts
Its wa
s a hot humid evening, the smell of the two dogs’ breath wafted up from under the desk. Facing me was the lovely Miss Roberts and her faithful slave Cos Chapman.
Miss Roberts defied all opposing forces, patiently answering questions prepared for her from a card index. There was no time to waste. Included in their live performance we heard “Mercury River” not heard before in this country. I think they might have played it in their tour of Germany last month.

Hello GoodBye Show 12 May 2012: Harry Merry, NOW and Ten
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.

Panel Borders: Blue Pills and Sandcastles
Continuing our month of shows on international creators, Alex Fitch talks to Swiss graphic novelist Frederik Peeters about his latest comic Sandcastle, published by SelfMadeHero and based on a script by filmmaker Pierre-Oscar Lévy. Sandcastle is a Twilight Zone style narrative about a group of strangers trapped on a beach where time moves at different rates; Alex and Frederik talk about the influence of science fiction on his work and his interest in autobiography which led to his award winning graphic novel Blue Pills – A Positive Love Story. (The interview was recorded at Gosh! Comics, London in October 2011)
