THE TEA STREET BAND



‘MARSEILLE BLUES’

THE NEW SINGLE AVAILABLE NOW AND IMPACTING OCTOBER 12TH  
LISTEN HERE

FROM NEW ALBUM ‘FREQUENCY’ TO BE RELEASED NOVEMBER 9TH
+ UK HEADLINE TOUR NOVEMBER / DECEMBER - EXTENDED


'Marseille Blues' is the brilliant new single from The Tea Street Band, available to stream now LINK and impacting at radio on October 12th. The track is the first single to be taken from the cult Liverpool band’s new album ‘Frequency’, which will be released November 9th on Modern Sky UK. 

“Marseille Blues came about pretty naturally,” says Nick Otaegui (bass, vocals). “Lee was playing some superb riff that sounded like nothing else we’d heard before, especially on a guitar. Once Dom laid a beat down, we knew we had something. Lyrics and theme all just came dead easy. About being a glutton for punishment and always ending up with the blues. Marseille being that place beyond it all, you can never quite get back to.”

Also available to stream and as an instant grat with pre-orders of ‘Frequency’ is the uplifting new track 'Feel It'.

The Tea Street Band have also announced a headline tour in support of the new album.The tour will start with two night’s at Liverpool’s District on November 15th & 16th (already sold-out), and will culminate at London’s Slaughtered Lamb on December 1st. Tickets on general sale now. Dates at Newcastle Think Tank (8 Dec) and Glasgow King Tuts (9 Dec) have also just been added to the run. 

‘Frequency’ is the follow-up to The Tea Street Band’s 2014 self-titled debut, which gained support from tastemakers such as Huw Stephens, John Kennedy, Janice Long, Clint Boon, and Rob Da Bank, and saw The Tea Street Band travel as far as Australia and South Korea on promotional duties.

The Tea Street Band follow in the tradition of tunefully idiosyncratic Liverpool bands like The Coral, The Lightning Seeds, and Shack, though their blissful electronica sounds like none of those bands. Rather, The Tea Street Band are closer to artists like Tunng and This Is The Kit, blending instrumentation with synths and beats.  Like so many Liverpool artists, at the heart of The Tea Street Band is a keen ear for melody. Driven by propulsive hooks, their songs grab from the get-go, often building to a euphoric rush. 

Recorded over a year in Liverpool’s fabled Parr Street Studios with Chris Taylor (Ian Brown, Millburn), ‘Frequency’ is a big leap forward for The Tea Street Band. 

“The writing process was different than the first album,” says Tierney. “We wrote it together, with all of us having a massive input on each song, the title and the art work (photo By John Johnson, designed by Dom Foster). We have all pushed each other musically. It’s all of ours.”

Like any great second album, ‘Frequency’ is the sound of a band who have found their sound whilst constantly pushing for more.

The Tea Street Band: Timo Tierney (vocals, guitar), Nick Otaegui (bass, vocals), Lee Smith (guitar, synth) and Dom Allen (drums).

It's just a crack in the screen...... Not my usual kind of blog post. The smartphone has become part of everyday life. For a business like mine it had opened up new avenues to spread the word about my clients as a PR. I found some of these shut suddenly when my phone hurtled to the kitchen floor. Just a cracked screen. I worried the phone may cost a fortune to fix, but got similar quotes from about 3 people and so when one of them called back promising a 48 hr turnaraound, and 6 months warranty, I thought, I could trust the friendly voice of "John" at the other end of the line. The UPS driver arrived within 10 minutes and my phone was in a padded envelope off to Elite Phones And Computers in Manchester. This was a mistake. I hadn't checked the reviews online, something I always do, and warn other when I find the bad ones.  I sent the phone on Friday and on Monday checked on progress, using the on-site messaging service the company prefers to use instead of ema...

The Stagg Do 5 years in the making, written by an American (James DeMarco) , about Geordies, starring Geordies, with Geordie music and with a premiere screened on Westgate Road at the O2 Academy, this was truly a local affair. The story, about a camping trip involving a groom, his best man and his mates takes a turn for the uncomfortable when the father-in-law to be joins the group. Staggy, played by Andrew Stagg is being chaperoned by his fiancee's (Charlotte, played by Therase Neve) father, "The Judge". Daddy-in-law to be, is played by Bill Fellows, a familiar face on many TV series and films. This scuppers the plans of best-man Pob, and pals Si (Simon Buglass) and Radgy (Craig Conway), who really wanted the trip to evolve into a "beer and titties" extravaganza. Much silliness, drug references, the funny things that can happen, in the dark, in the Northumberland countryside add up to an enjoyable romp enhanced greatly by a fabulous soundtrack provided ent...

#livereview Gary Lucas at The Cluny

Live Review:  Gary Lucas at The Cluny, Newcastle Still buzzing from a standing ovation in Liverpool the night before, Gary opened the show with a cover: I Remember .The rich sound came from his “distressed” acoustic guitar which he claimed was older than him .  Gary filled in between songs with history and amazing anecdotes. He was an anglophile in New York.  He studied at Yale. He loved the Move. He reminisced about John peel breaking Beefheart in U.K.  He saw Beefheart in New York. Interviewed Don Van Vliet for student radio whilst majoring in English Literature. Beefheart was bigger in Europe and Australia rather than in the US, but he knew then he wanted to perform with them. The next song was on electric. Evening Bell was a finger-picking  master class. He’s kept the explosive, disjointed quality of the song as he was instructed to play it all those years ago.  He talked about working as record company advertising executive....
