New album 'Ruins.' Out now. http://smarturl.it/FAK-Ruins

Equal parts monk, Visigoth and village idiot, the Spooky Men’s Chorale explores the paradoxes of latter day masculinity with unbridled enthusiasm, a pleasing array of deep harmonies, and a twinkle in their eye. They’ve somehow mastered the impossible art of being both musically immaculate and blitheringly stupid, whilst essaying an increasingly preposterous array of subject matter: tools, mastodons, their own body parts, surfing, gluttony, and how to scare off hostile neighbouring tribes at 5.43 am.

Arising from the Blue Mountains in Australia, the Spooky Men’s Chorale have been gleefully smashing up and reassembling the world of  men’s singing since 2001, and will now continue their long, slow, global conquest with a 6th tour of the UK, tenderly brandishing their latest album  “Warm”, a long requested idyll in a vast, bottomless, massively comforting musical sofa.

SingSing is a choir that sings cool songs that you like in a way that is fun and makes you feel comfortable. We like pop songs, happy songs, devo songs and laughing. We aim to mix these up in such a way that hearts are warmed.

The choir is mostly populated by "university age" persons whatever that means.

You can come if you're super confident about singing, and you can come if you think: "I am seriously... no no
SERIOUSLY the WORST singer EVERRRRR."
We have at least 3 leaders and won't evs put anyone on the spot.

The point is that singing is awesome and we should do it more! Preferably regularly and preferably together. EmphAsis is on having fun.

Also would it be too much to ask for there to also be cake and drinks??
No.. no it wouldn't.

Ben Howard returns with his 4th album, Collections From The Whiteout, produced alongside Aaron Dessner (The National). The foreboding darkness that coated Ben’s second record I Forget Where We Were and thinly veiled its follow up Noonday Dream, isn’t so evident on Collections. These are songs written from headlines scanned, or news stories scrolled past, providing inspiration for a selection of vivid narrative snapshots – the death of amateur sailor Donald Crowhurst (Crowhurst’s Meme); Russian fraudster Anna Sorokin (Sorry Kid); the man who stole and crashed a plane in Seattle (The Strange Last Flight Of Richard Russell); and the dismembered body a friend of his father found in a suitcase floating along the Thames (Finders Keepers). Alongside them, the personal anecdotes from the same scattered period living between Paris, Devon and Spain. Yussef Dayes features, as does Kate Stables (This Is The Kit), James Krivchenia (Big Thief), Kyle Keegan (Hiss Golden Messenger), and Dessner. Thomas Bartlett, St. Vincent’s go-to pianist, and Rob Moose, a long-standing arranger of strings for Bon Iver, are also present. Long-term guitarist to Ben’s band, Mickey Smith (A Blaze of Feather), remains a reassuring constant. It’s a sonic adventure that continues this nagging suggestion that Ben is one of the UK’s most inventive and naturally talented songwriters. CFTW is his latest opus, and arguably his most fully realised to date.

With original but timeless melodies and deeply honest lyricism John Flanagan has steadily been building a reputation as one of Australia’s most exciting up and coming singer/songwriters. Combining 70s folk singer/songwriter influences with old timey and bluegrass arrangements, John creates an Americana/folk sound that is both familiar and new. He has recently recorded his latest album in Nashville with producer Viktor Krauss which will be released in late 2015.
