Saturday Night

The "misfits' misfits" the Nightingales new album 'Mind Over Matter' is released on CD and as a limited edition 180g vinyl, gatefold sleeve LP by John Robb's Louder Than War label on Monday11 May.
 
Like the band's last three albums 'Mind Over Matter' was recorded in Germany at Hans-Joachim Irmler's Faust Studio and produced by the 'Gales bassist and Faust Studio house engineer Andreas Schmid.
 
The Nightingales were formed by former Prefects (Clash's 'White Riot Tour', Peel favourites, etc) vocalist Robert Lloyd and recorded a bunch of albums and 45s in the 1980s - as well as playing shows throughout Europe as headliners and supporting acts as diverse as Bo Diddley and Nico - but stopped working when Lloyd decided to combine a 'solo career' with money earning manual labour.
 
Around a decade ago Lloyd chose to revive the 'Gales but not as a nostalgia act performing old material for the entertainment of the affluent and ageing ex punk/indie brigade but as an uncompromising, confrontational contemporary group. His idea of what the band should be doing has taken time to come to fruition largely due to the coming and going of various mercenary, starry eyed, wastrel &/or part time musicians but during the recording of the 'Insult To Injury' album in 2008 Lloyd met Schmid who joined  the band and at last the group "got good" (R.Lloyd).
 
The Nightingales then "got great" when former Violet Violet drummer Fliss Kitson joined the group a year or so later prior to  recording the Cooking Vinyl album 'No Love Lost' in 2012. The Violets had been a regular support to the 'Gales over the years and Lloyd had always been an admirer of Kitson's playing so when that band split up and she agreed to become a Nightingale he was "made up" and finally the group was "proper".
 
This line up (completed by original Prefect Alan Apperley on guitar) became a  top notch live unit and following the sold out, self released 'For Fuck's Sake' LP in April '14, the streamlined four piece Nightingales embarked on their most successful UK tour to date before writing the new album and recording in September at the end of a short tour of Germany and Austria. 
 
'Mind Over Matter' is a short, sharp blast of melody, rhythm, irritation and humour. The group might play around but does not fuck about. They may indulge themselves but do not waste your time. They could be mad but are most certainly diligent.
 
To coincide with the album's release the Nightingales will be recording a session for Marc Riley's BBC 6 Music show on May 13 before touring the UK and Ireland from Friday 15 May - Thursday 4 June (gig list to follow). Further UK dates plus trips to West Coast USA and mainland Europe are currently being booked for later in the year and a compilation of covers of 'Gales songs by various fans/artists is scheduled for release in the next twelve months.

Now you on the run son, 
Since 1981
You went and did some things,
And spoiled the fun
Yeah, you got the FBI,
They ain't on your side
Yeah you're caught foolin' friend,
With a senator's wife
Oh I don't need it, 
Well no one does

Just sit on this groove and chew,
As the heat grew and chew ;
A life of taking Love,
She fit like a glove
And in due time,
Yeah I'll be there

Well hello Harmony,
Whatcha doin' for free?
Yeah get on your knees you freak,
And please please me
A life of solitude,
Yeah, one with me, no you
Life on the run son,
It's all you knew
And I don't need it,
No, no one does

The Black Angels - You On the Run

A remix of our album track Unwind Yourself by Michael Moutsopoulos. Our very first remix, so in that sense we're very chuffed. As far as I can hear Michael has added synth strings on the chorus, a new solo and (possibly?) tinkered with the levels...
