Heartland

...makes a man take things over

those skinny young upstarts with drum machine (and personal faves of mine) black wire are playing a gig at leeds uni next tuesday and its being filmed for bbc2's "the culture show"

they saw a recent feature about the current leeds scene in the guardian and decided to check it out for themselves.

the culture show people are also doing an interview with choque hosein (ex-salvation, hollow men and black star liner guitarist/producer) in his capacity as producer and svengali figure for the new batch of young "leeds bands" coming out on his 48 Crash label

they will also be profiling black wire and their "sister-band" the ivories

its being aired sometime mid-october i gather. i'll post the exact date when i find out...

i told him to wear a heartland tee shirt

Who the f**k are Black Wire?

Without even reading the first line of your post, I had started singing that dash-darned song, and now I'll be whistling it all bloody night, I just know it!!!!

dash-darned

I heard that the Ivories website has been touched by the same hand of CSS genius that touched the Salvation website

- Shadowy web-master of the Leeds revival.

I stand corrected. Or, more accurately, sprawl in a comfy chair corrected.

i shall be at the gig, but not in choque's kitchen while he's being interviewed... sadly. i would quite fancy donning white gloves and a tailcoat and bringing him a pot of tea during the interview

I could so see you in that kind of get up. You'd have to take him some ferrero rochers. Just for extra poshness like.

Oh Administrator, you are spoiling us!

Dibs on the white suit and cane.

just 'white gloves and a tailcoat' ?

we need to know

good LORD...

Media Monitor:

From the Black Wire website:

"BLACK WIRE ON BBC2
We are lucky enough to be featured on THE CULTURE SHOW on BBC2 which will be broadcast on thursday 13th october at 7pm. WOW!"

The thirteenth? That's John Peel day! Good lads...

Hope they had fun.

it was an absolute blast

scratchy cam-phone piccies of the gig here:

sadly i missed any piccys of dan's (the singer) the crowd-surfing, pogo-ing, hanging pete-murphy-style from the rafters

i feel i managed to capture his generally energetic, wired, spiggy-ness though

re: the culture show next thursday - look out for interviews with the guys from the band, an acoustic session from the ivories, and an interview with choque hosein (also the producer of gary marx's solo album)

There's no higher commendation, eh?
