Weekend Showcase 4.01

The Audio recordings of the RECEIVER short film, coming out on 10" vinyl through GREENWAY RECORDS & on tape through BURGER RECORDS! A brand new EP of all live, in the red, loud as hell and super tight rock and roll from Thee Most Valuable Players.

Info below taken from the video series!

Greetings, Thee MVPs transmit to you the viewer a short film called 'RECEIVER', better known as army slang for a radio as well as the headset on an old telephone (remember them?!) The following is five songs beamed down to you via the competent and kinetic camerawork of Max Horn aka BARONXBONES

Better known for his work with Frank Carter and The Rattlesnakes, Max has captured the band knocking five of their numbers out of the park. The mission statement was simple, make it look like it's from the 70s, 'make us look like those old Beat Club and Old Grey Whistle Test videos would you please' may or may not have been the $1million question here.

Behind the desk was long time collaborator to the band Theo Verney, whose recent production on the Slimelord 45 along with storming records by TRAAMS and Rad Fru proved that he was once again the perfect match for cutting these Most Valuable of Players.

Recorded all live in a huge room at Brighton Electric, Thee MVPs fill the whole place with a pounding rhythm section, punch to the gut guitars and gusto-filled vocal attacks that the high ceilings could barely contain, everyone knows they're better live so we figured we may as well give you what you really want not just another soundcloud link!

RECEIVER features three oldies and two brand newbies which are getting their first flex out in this session! Performed well, recorded better than that and looking even better than both those other things to boot, sit back and get a smattering/battering of the band before heading to a show, which they'll be doing lots of always and forever.

Are you ready to receive the receiver?

US AIRWAYS

We’re now starting to see the results of the hard work the boys in Norway’s Death By Unga Bunga have been putting in since their debut album was released in 2010. Following the release of their fourth album Pineapple Pizza in 2016, the band have headlined shows on a coast-to-coast tour of the US, they’ve been riding high in the college radio charts, and they’ve been listed by more than one hundred radio stations in the Americas. Not bad for a small nordic rock band.

Few bands write power-pop songs as compelling and catchy as these guys, and they’re a treat to watch live as well – both for your five and a half year old baby sister and for your mother-in-law at sixty-two.

Soon they will tour the US again as support to the legendary Stiff Little Fingers on their 40th Anniversary Tour. The boys are excited to hit the US interstate again crisscrossing the country as they play to the biggest rooms and crowds they’ve taken the stage for yet on this side of the Atlantic.

But before that, more music will be released. In conjunction with the start of the tour, on September 8th the first taste from their forthcoming album will hit stores with the single “Bye Bye”, to be released as a 7-inch with the title track on side A and “Into the Night” on the B side.

What Death By Unga Bunga are saying this about the songs:
“Into the Night”: We’ve been on a life-long quest to show people how NOT to suck, so listen up kids; you might just learn something. After extensive studying of the rock’n’roll cookbook, we found that guitar solos are still really, really cool. We did not hold back on this one.

buried your rolex in tasteless snow
forgot all about it dear
limping back into
genuine American smirk

candied pink coral under the skull
oh is that all you take me for?
little lavender pill
all my teeth are singing for you now

valentino
they wanted me to love you
valentino
i know i'm not above you

a botticelli mouth to talk smack
at 40 watts of sun on my back
but i'm a needle in your haystack
who am i to forgive you now?

they wanted me to love you

i know i'm not above you

they wanted me

May Your Kindness Remain

COURTNEY MARIE ANDREWS - May Your Kindness Remain

By the time Tal National reached international acclaim with 2013's 'Kaani', the band's first release outside of Niger, they had spent more than a decade crisscrossing their native country, usually on dirt pathways through the Sahara, playing epic five-hour sets, seven days a week, selling their CDs on street corners and roundabouts. In the process, they became Niger's most popular band, with songs constantly blasted on national TV and cell phones everywhere. Following FatCat's release of 'Kaani', Western audiences and critics quickly embraced the band's singular and finely-honed sound. NPR were hit by "the band's tightness and fiery energy"; The Guardian praised "their full-tilt approach, and hypnotic intensity"; whilst Songlines wrote of "a rich, hybrid sound that draws on familiar West African elements to create something rewardingly fresh and different". FatCat released the dazzling follow-up, 'Zoy Zoy', on April 13th 2015, once again to great critical acclaim, with shouts from Pitchfork, Uncut, Afropop Worldwide, FADER, The Quietus and a cover feature on fRoots. With each heaping of praise, they all seemed to echo NPR’s assessment that “There’s no way you won’t dance to this one!”.

Gearing up for their third album for FatCat, Tal National look back on a fertile period spent honing their sound and touring the US several times – leaving audiences sweaty and stunned time after time. They’ve laid down incredible sets at WOMAD and Roskilde, bringing the same intensity and jubilance to the festival set as they would a crammed club, converting the staunchest wallflower into a dancer for the night. At their core, that’s Tal National's intent, to make the people dance. With new album 'Tantabara' (due Feb 2018) the band continues their ongoing quest to translate that energy to tape, bottling the party for personal use.

Niger borders Nigeria, Mali and Ghana. Collected within this former French colony can be found Songhai, Fulani, Hausa, and Tuareg populations, all of whom are represented in the membership of Tal National. As such, the nation enjoys a greatly varied mix of cultures and ethnicities, all richly steeped in music. It is no stranger to highlife, kora and afrobeat musics, while giving the world Tuareg Blues and a unique brand of hip-hop. In Tal National's music can be heard the rolling 12/8 rhythms in the Hausa's fuji percussion, the pensive aridity of the Tuareg's assouf and the exquisite griot guitar of Mali's Songhai, all delivered with virtuoso precision and unrelenting energy. After listing 'Kaani' in its top 10 albums of 2013, The New York Times wrote that "the music keeps leaping ahead with one surprise after another: guitar parts that align and diverge and reconfigure, drumming that pounces on offbeats. The patterns are crisp, complex and tireless".
