POTTERY

SHARE NEW SINGLE 'THE CRAFT'

WATCH THE VIDEO HERE: 


TAKEN FROM DEBUT EP, NO.1, OUT MAY 10th ON PARTISAN

ANNOUNCE FURTHER UK/EU TOUR DATES FOR 2019

Montreal’s Pottery have shared a new track from their upcoming debut EP, No. 1, out now on Partisan Records. 'The Craft' is accompanied by a music video (dir. by Bronwyn Ford and Max Taeuschel) that follows singer/guitarist Austin Boylan as he drops down to planet Earth to observe human behaviour in its many forms for the first time. 

Watch the video for 'The Craft' here: https://youtu.be/EC_k3hQL0zg

 Speaking of the video, the band's Jacob Shepansky offers, "With 'The Craft' we wanted to explore the unconscious oddities of everyday life and how an outsider alien (Austin's character) may interpret these trivial actions. Each band member has a niche hobby (in the video) that not only lends for blind emulation from the outsider, but also represents each member's individuality within our collective project."

Pottery recorded No. 1 over just two nights, cut live to tape, some tracks only requiring one take. The songs touch on post-punk, pop, dance, and the band credits Orange Juice, Josef K and Devo as primary influences. It's shrill, jarring at times, with a hypnotic quality that pulls a harmony out of the discord. 'The Craft' follows on from recent singles 'Lady Solinas' and 'Hank Williams', which were spotlighted by Gorilla vs. Bear, Fader, DIY, Stereogum, The 405, So Young + more.

The band has supported Parquet Courts and Thee Oh Sees and recently wrapped a run of North American dates with Viagra Boys, as well as finding themselves one of the most hotly-tipped acts at this year's SXSW. They'll join labelmates Fontaines D.C. on a further North American tour later this year. In the meantime, following the recent news of their debut UK/EU shows in May, today the band announce a bunch more UK dates around their late summer slots at Green Man and End of the Road festivals, as well as an appearance at Iceland Airwaves in November. Please see further below for a full touring itinerary.

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...

#quickreview @thestaggdo movie by @fnafilms #premiere at @O2AcademyNewc 26/06/2014

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....
