It would be wonderful to hear from you on how you are doing. By the way we are still accumulating memoribilia (photos tapes and especially videos) if you have or have info on any of these *please* contact us. Thanks to our dear friend Jane Weems(drummer artist and punk legend) we just got a copy of a video from one of our last shows. Anything else would be appreciated and credited. Steve is actually playing music LIVE again. We should behearing more about that again. John is still at it of course (you’ll have to pry the guitar out of his cold dead hands)… Thanks to our dear friend Jane Weems(drummer artist and punk legend) we just got a copy of a video from one of our last shows.

It’s a great venue to be able to see the group perform and the acoustics are exceptionally good as many converted churches are. However in that aspect also lies one of the problems with seeing a band like this. Those of you who have followed the various line ups over the 26 years since they first burst upon the scene at the White Hart Inn in the Grassmarket but more importantly and particularly for most at Platform ne in the Caledonian Hotel (among many other temporary venues) will remember nights of the banter back and forth with Dave and hearty singing and clapping as the beer flowed. The festival setting with its regimented rows of seats and tight inflexible time schedules do not necessarily sit well with this informal concept and the performance appeared similarly sanitised… And now please welcome into the performance ring New Young Pony Club recently signed to the Modular label and stable-mates of Wolfmother. NYPC’s musical Year Zero is the Punk and Punk Funk of The Stooges and The Stranglers Talking Heads The RaptureESG and DFA.

Less immediate but genuinely magical after a couple of listens is Tailors which gives expression to the band’s admiration for the dying craft of sewing on buttons. The Young Knives’ concern with such fine cultural detail aligns them with a growing pop movement in this country. It’s a movement that raids the dusty recesses of what you might call pre-pop British history – the First World War the age of Empire the pre-Beeching railway system – with the same voracity with which Blur and asis once plundered the music of the Kinks and the Beatles. Kept alive through the lean post-Britpop years by handlebar-moustachioed Medway maverick Billy Childish it was recently given new momentum by South Coast naval nostalgists British Sea Power. The only problem with this style of English Heritage pop is that sometimes the presentation – the plus-fours the stuffed herons on stage – can seem more important than the music itself. But the Young Knives steer clear of wilful parochialism: the inspired geek-chic of Wes Anderson’s urbane American film Rushmore for example is a big influence. Above all the band celebrates idiosyncrasy.

Is it punk hard core metal? I don’t know yet its a rock and roll locomotive. The music is nasty in your face very catchy and melodic. It talks about “dicks on a dog” so it is also very intellectual. The liner notes are bizarre and the band members do not have names. Perfect!All the songs are very good.

R&B artist Legend strives to keep it real
Redrbit – Aug 19, 2006
He strolls down St. Mark’s Place on a recent late summer day passing vendors selling punk rock T-shirts and body jewelry and though he seems intent on noticing everything — the graffiti the facial expressions of people who pass by him the newspaper headlines — no one stops and notices him. It’s a little surprising considering how many people took note of his debut album. “Get Lifted” has sold more than 1. The album won three 2005 Grammy Awards including one for best new artist… His three Grammys are perched on top of an upright piano in his apartment. They are perfectly placed and shiny and hover above him as he plays the instrument. But when he’s creating music he pays the accolades no mind. GA_googleFillSlotWithSize(”ca-pub-5440138744487553″ “News_Main_300×250″ 300 250); “I didn’t go into the new album thinking about the Grammys I had won” Legend says. “It’s one of the greatest challenges of writing music — for it to not sound like what you think it’s supposed to sound like or sound like the last album. ‘HUNGER AND HUMILITY’ Legend assembled an A-list crew of producers to work on “nce Again” including Raphael Saadiq the Black Eyed Peas’ Will.
