Wait all my life for good band names and then none come along all at
once. My girlfriend is a self confessed pirate you know. She has a cutlass, a parrot & says
"arrrr" lots. And sails a big battered ship with a huge, flapping jolly
roger. Wonder what she'd make of
Pete & the Pirates?
She's probably have 'em walk the plank but I'd be there to save them
&
their deliciously perky indie, dripping old skool charm & spilling
with crap inserts housed in hand stamped paper bags. This is the DIY
revolt. Every bastard does 7"s these days. They're the new CD.. So the
CD is therefore the new 7", reclaimed by scruffy studenty types with no
money but some cracking little tunes. 6 Songs spilling over with strong
harmonies, trad indie shapes with occasional elements of krautrock
circa Camden '94 mixing it with flecks of classic yank rock (VU,
Pixies, Dinosaur Jr etc) & droney spacepop. There's 2 different CDs
in total, the other is a 7 tracker
called 'Wait Stop Begin', all handmade, on Stolen recordings. Well worth checking out!
