French Police on Audiotree Live

Dance With Me (Audiotree Live Version)

Released July 15, 2022

Lyrics:

Fell in love with you in the mosh pit—
someone broke your nose, got my teeth hit in.
Oh Stella, darkness gathers round you,
I can feel it when I put my arms around you.

Dreamed of kissing you on a starship, but you 
dreamed about the trap and a Glock - 9 on your hip.
Oh Stella, there’s so much more about you,
I die inside when I live this life without you.

And I see you by my side,
but you just wanna die,
all you think about is getting high—

[ By my side ]
[ Oh Stella ]

Oh Stella

MNQ 052 ROYAL FAMILY AND THE POOR - THE TEMPLE OF THE 13TH TRIBE LP

The Royal Family & The Poor is the nomenclature adopted by Mike Keane, who recorded for Factory Records between 1980 and 1986. "The Project Phase 1  - The Temple of the 13th Tribe", released in 1984 (FACT 95) was produced in Manchester by Joy Divison and New Order bassist Peter Hook. Featuring the violinist John Neesham (of Walking Seeds and Mel-o-Tones) and the keyboard player Lita Hira from labelmates Stockholm Monsters, the album was done only after plenty of ups and downs in Keane's own life as well as numerous personnel shifts and incarnations, but the end results were a sometimes delicate and often enthralling combination. 

The combination of TR 808 and other drums, reverbed vocals, and aural mystery is all permeated by Keane's interest in the occult, while Hook's technological know-how adds a sharp rhythmic punch to tracks such as "Dark And Light", "Radio Egypt" and "Discipline". Other tracks include one of Mike Keane's best known songs, the affecting ballad "I Love You (Restrained in a Moment)", and the sinister, vocodered "Motherland".  

Perhaps the most misunderstood band to record for Factory Records, The Royal Family and the Poor remain for many an (oc)cult enigma, releasing only four albums in two decades, and rarely performing live after 1984. 

A lost classic, highly recommended for fans of Joy Division, New Order, Section 25, Durutti Column, Death In June.
