BTP 09 Best bits + interview with Beep!

altvm - bollocks to poverty 09

Go Go Go

Loveable, twee indie pop band Just Hanshakes We're British are releasing their new single Shipwrecks on the 3rd of Augusut. It will feature title track 'Shipwreks' and B side 'Go Go Go'

These new songs are somewhat softer than their previous songs, edging towards the more melodic twee side of the band. Shipwrecks starts off as slowly flowing through chords in a day dream fashion, however a minute and a half or so into the song, it turns happy bouncy song, with a drum beat verging on reggae.

I find it hard to write about this band without describing them as if I was writing about a furby, nether the less this single is deffinately going to push the boat out for the band, hopefully it wont become a shopwreck.

Colouring Outside the Lines: The Exhibition

Gallery II at the University of Bradford hosts a new collaborative
exhibition of female artists working beyond the bounds of the cultural
mainstream

Exhibition runs Friday 26 June - Friday 24 July 2009. Free Entry
Saturday 4 July 11am - 4pm. Special opening and picnic

Is sewing art? Do you see the 'best' art in galleries? Whose interpretation
is more valid: the artist or the critic? Is having an exhibition of all
female artists exclusionary or important? What's stopping you from being an
artist?

This exhibition is the first collaborative curatorial venture of two young
women, Rachel Kaye (Gallery II, University of Bradford) and Melanie Maddison
(Colouring Outside The Lines zine), and seeks to open the discussion of who
has access to art - in terms of both curators and artists.

Colouring Outside the Lines: The Exhibition will feature artwork and
installations by Abigail Brown, Heidi Burton, Morwenna Catt, Naseem Darbey,
Carolyn Mendelsohn and Helen Musselwhite.

Melanie comments 'The exhibition seeks to make an active comment about the
cultural myth that art is reserved for the elite and privileged. By breaking
down the barriers between creators and audiences and including work in
unconventional and populist forms which everyone has access to, we are
asserting our belief that everyone can be creative in their own life'.

Rachel adds 'the work exhibited is deliberately selected from a cross
generation of artists and includes established and establishing
practitioners. Although the exhibitors work is diverse in terms of form and
media it is united thematically through reoccurring explorations of ideas of
mythologies, fairytale, discovery and surprise'.

Colouring Outside The Lines started life in 2003 as a self-produced zine.
The publication interviewed female artists and included reproductions of
their art giving the women featured a voice over their own productivity
beyond traditional art criticism and the meta-narratives of the art world.
The zine focused on artists working in less-conventional forms. Based on the
philosophy of the Colouring Outside the Lines zine the curators worked
together to select work which departed from the 'traditional canvas' and
conventional mediums of creation and production - quite literally, work
which coloured outside the lines. Visitors are invited to actively
participate in contemporary debates on galleries and power, the differences
between DIY and applied art, feminist art discourses and the possibilities
of subverting institutional spaces.

Opening times. Mon - Fri, 10am-5pm, Thursdays 'til 6pm. Or by appointment.
Free entry
Special opening, Sat 4 July 11 - 4pm. To coincide with the University of
Bradford open day. At midday there will be a picnic and story-telling
session with the opportunity to discuss the exhibition with the artists and
curators involved in the project in a relaxed setting. Meet up at 12 noon in
the gallery.

Funk off!

When I heard Tom Mckenzie had recorded a new song, this is not what I was expecting.....

Tom Mckenzie usually makes mainly acoustic based, some what prog-rock, however, his new track 'After The Dust Has Settled' is so unbelievably funky that it would have James Brown turning in his grave.

Mckenzie manages to fuse his old distored rock style, with a 60's funk bass and guitar riff, all that is missing is some saxaphones.

I would like to think that this is a new direction for Tom and look forward to hearing his third album at some point this year.

Listen to him here at www.myspace.com/tommckenziemusic

NEW ISSUE!

We are so sorry about there been no new issue this month. We have been so busy with organising Bollocks To Poverty that we just haven't had time.

But we have some great things lined up;

here are somethings we have lined up for the issue;

Credit Crunch Carnival

Festival Essentials

The Noisettes, Johnny Foreigner and Kid British interviews

Alt Track album review

oo loads

keep an eye open for our podcasts coming out in July

Bollocks To Poverty

HIIIII!

we have our own stage at saturdays Bollocks To Poverty II at the new beehive Bradford.

here is our line up.

6.00 - 6.30 The Coopers
5.15 - 5.45 TBC
4.30 - 5.00 Kate Hyatt
3.45 - 4.15 Tom Mckenzie

2.15 - 2.45 Jonny Clifford
1.30 - 2.00 Jack Winn

see you there

We've got instruments and we know what there for... they're not taking life of going to war

Ok, Alt Track - the genre hoppers of the music scene. From Electro to Hip-Hop, Dub to Jazz, these two lads have been there. June the 6th brings the much anticipated debut album 'silence is approval'. Alt Track have been kind enough to there fans to upload the title track of the album onto their myspace.

This track is something a bit different to what they usually do, it uses live drums and an acoustic guitar - lets be honest, it's a stoke of genius. I Can easily see this song reaching Radio 1's in new music we trust as a regular.
I'm pretty sure Jo-Whiley would like to get her grubby hands all over this track for her show, unlucky boys.

We think you should all go listen to this king blues/gogol bordello-esque track.

Into the Galaxy we go.....

First of all I would like to say; "Midnight Juggernauts, I'm sorry I didn't find you sooner." Midnight Juggernauts released their debut album in April last year this Australian band make perfect music to travel through space and time to!
The intergalactic music pioneers have had there songs remixed by the likes of Grandmaster Flash, Metronomy, Architecture in Helsinki, Chateau Marmont and Shy Child & Danger.

If you listen to one song this week go listen to Into the Galaxy here; www.myspace.com/midnightjuggernauts

I Understand.

Eight legs have a new video for their song 'i understand'. Eight legs were one of top tips for 2009 back in January. This new song is deffinately a step forward for the band, its a britpop, blur-esque kind of song; anyway here is the video.

I Understand

Rivmixx

We signed up to something called Rivmixx today, not 100% sure why but we did it anyway. Its like myspace but abit more dedicated to music and also a bit like facebook but not as pulicly open. Its pretty cool so if anyone is one it erm.. add us?
i don't even know if you can add people.

I must admit that the layout is the better than any other music/social/networking site. wOOP!

beepmagazine.rivmixx.com

Magic Number.

We all have our favourite songs, despite how embrrasing or un-cool they may be. We’ve asked some of the U.K’s top bands what their top three favourite songs are of al time, no secrets to be kept.





JAMES - PULLED APART BY HORSES

1. Cursive - The Recluse
A woeful tale of a man who misses being in bed with a long lost love. He moves from bed to bed and woman to woman but cant quite find home. Heart breaking stuff. Us rockers like to cry as well you know. Sometimes. Well, now and again.

2. Rage Against The Machine - Bulls on Parade
Man/Woman pushes button on stereo to turn it on, they then insert CD, turns up volume very high, they then skip to said track and press play 'BANG'. What a riff and intro. I'm sure you could start a car engine with that intro actually.

3. Scott Walker - On Your Own Again
This is one of the most moving pieces of music ever written in my opinion. I love the way its builds up with trings and then winds back down at the end. I’m sure I played this to a girl in my room when I was younger and she thought I was gay. Look at me now though, I’m pretty much gay.


Lets Wrestle. - Wesley Patrick Gonzalez

1. Ledge - Fleetwood Mac
from their great underrated record tusk its amazing this song lindsey buckingham is obviously trying to go all new wave but the way the song is written and recorded is bloody marvelous

2. Savoy Truffle - The Beatles
we used to do something illegal whenever this came on shuffle on tour it was our tour game. The whole of the white album gives me memories of that tour i love it and with the beatles my favourite song of theirs changes weekly

2. Ruby (Don't Take Your Love To Town) - Kenny Rogers
this song is amazing its about a man who comes back from vietnam in a wheelchair and his wife goes out looking for sex and he cant do anything about it and the music is really sinister listening to this is like watching a good thriller




SKy Larkin
Turn it out by DFA1979
Mr Blue Sky by ELO
River by Joni Mitchell


The Kabeedies
Nutrocker by B.Bumble and The Stingers
Wonderful Life by Black
Hava Nagila by Dick Dale and The Del-Tones

The Worst Issue One,

I came across this magazine whilst looking through issuu.com and its amazing. It is a magazine that talks about the worst things; the worst art, the worst tattoo, the worst shop thats why the magazine is called the Worst. This is the first issue they have released and I can't wait to see more

Copy Haho, www.myspace.com/copyhaho

U2 - Joshua Tree :
Mickey thinks this is a chingway start to an album: a triumvirate of tear swelling greenery.

Dr Dre - 2001:
because it is the flilthiest thing ever made, you could destroy towns while listening to it, which isn't a good thing but you know anything that makes you feel slightly dangerous is nice, i think.

Master Shortie

Let there be no mistake, Master Shortie – rapper, entrepreneur - samplemeister - indie/rap pioneer and musical trail-blazer - is a man who always gets what he wants.
so that is what his myspace page told us...

Master Shortie is an electro/hip hop artist from down south, he was tipped as British Hip-Hop's next big thing. He fluorescent Master Shortie spans the roles of grime MC, cool club kid and teen-friendly pop singer, with a dash of indie influence thrown in.

Master Shortie also recently did a session on MTV check it out here. http://www.mtv.co.uk/music/sessions/master-shortie

please add master shortie on myspace [myspace.com/mastershortie] and let him know that you love his music!

Bevin.. the man, the legend!

OK. so if you are from Bradford you will of seen Bevin either in the city centre playing his quitar sat outside Primark, Greggs or up at The New Beehive Inn. He is Bradford's one and only reggae busker. Whenever you see Bevin he is either playing his guitar or carrying it on his back, probably most famous for his reggae acoustic versions of Valerie [amy winehouse version] or Human [killers]
If you are ever in Bradford try your hardest to see Bevin play, he is amazing! A true Bradford Legend.. add his Myspace!!

Tommy

Scottish winner of Orange act unsigned, Tommy Reilly took time out of his busy schedule to talk to us here at Beep!
Tommy is a solo act who wowed the judges throughout the whole of channel fours competition to find the best unsigned act in the UK. listen to his music at www.myspace.com/tommyreillymusic





How did you get into music?

My parents sent me to lessons.
If I liked it I could keep going but if I hated it I could stop. I was pretty into it and so yeh....that's it really.

Who are your main influences?

I'm into a lot of stuff. I'm a big dylan fan. I like a lot of scottish stuff at the moment. However, anything really I listen to loads of stuff. Anything I can get my hands on. I love movie scores lol.

How does it feel to win orange act unsigned?

It feels awesome!! I've never been happier! I've got a big grin on all the time. I get to make a record now!!!!!!

How did it feel to have the judges close to tears at various points in the competition?

Were they??? I didn't really see much, there was confetti everywhere. Also my friend pulled me into the crowd. I can't remember all of it. Pretty amazing 2 or 3 minutes.

Do you believe competitions like orange act unsigned are good for the music industry?

Yup but I'm biased. The reason I think Orange unsigned is good is that it exposes loads of different music. The final 10 bands on the tour would all make a cool record in their individual genres. Like Klaus. When Klaus makes a record it's gonna be great. Pyrelli would make a truly innovative hip-hop record and Hip Parade would make a great indie rock record!!! That's why I think it's good. I don't see a down side to getting to hear all those bands. I loved it.

you recorded your first single 'give me a call', are you happy with the final result?

Yeh. It's a different side to the song. I've had one version up on myspace for a while so I thought I'd record it a little different the second time. We recorded it in one night so there wasn't loads of time to play around. I'm pretty chuffed with it personally. I hope you enjoy it if you hear it.

what are your plans for the rest of 2009?

I'm gonna make an album. Also I'm gonna play as many shows as possible,, anywhere people will have me. I wanna have loads of fun too and enjoy what I like doing!

what can people expect from your album ?

I'm gonna have some fun making it. There's recordings on myspace with other instruments and ideas that I've never been able to utilise properly with the right facilities so yeh I don't know if that explains anything. I guess just more of what's been played on the show. I'm writing more songs than ever so hopefully the album will be quite a nice balance of new and old songs. I don't wanna be safe and just record all the old stuff. Is that helpful??? I don't know if that gives you an idea..........hehehe. Hope you enjoy it when it's done.
Thanks very much also to anyone who voted. Hope you like the single if you hear it.

CD Swap Shop!!

On the 7th February Beep! are back at 1in12 with their fourth disco!plastique night. This time around we are going to have a CD swap shop;

In grove library's art section - it is just full of ace books and its on the top floor, you feel really relaxed up there.
Watching channel four again; this is the best video ever made - well done lads!

Does anyone ever watch poker live?

Last Niggghttt

I was watching channel four at about one in them morning and on came transmition.
Ok so the presenter was drooling over the pussy cay dolls and distracting from the real musicians on the show.
He asked Pussy Cat Dolls if they liked english music, and with a look of distress, they made it obvious they knew nothing about music and just said "yeahhhh!"

Anyway at the end of the show, they have this little feature where two artits get together and play a song. This time it was Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly and Natty, two artits which i love. They played love will tear us apart by joy division.

Ok so i'm not sure, i want it to be good but it could be really shit theres a fine line and they are dancing all over it: you decide

lucas@beepmagazine.co.uk email me your thoughts.

Little Boots Interview Sneak Preview

this is a snippet taking from the interview we had with little boots earlier this week.

to find out more about her visit www.myspace.com/littleboots she has pretty much topped every chart related to big names in 2009.

. Who do you think will be 'big' in 2009?

I think Lilly Allen's new album will do well. I'm also looking forward to the new Eminem album.

. You use an amazing array of instruments in your music. What made you get into instruments such as the moog and the tenorion?
Moogs are just such classic synthesizers if you make electronic music its almost impossible not to get into them. As for the Tenori-on, I borrowed it from someone I was working with and got addicted... I now have three.

. You are involved deeply with Hot-Chip's Joe Goddard, I also heard that you are planning on working with Dev from lightspeed champion, Who are you main influences musically, are you from an electro backgound?

I listen to a real range of music, I certainly don't consider myself to be from and electro background although I do DJ electro quite a lot. I mainly listen to artists like Kate Bush, David Bowie and The Beatles.

. when is the album due out then?
Later 2009, probably around the summer.

watch this its ace!; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJmpQptN6vU

Laasst Night [my birthday]

Firstly I would like to thank everyone who came to the 1in12 for the second disco!plastique night. It was a good night and i enjoyed everything about it... well except Jamie Hutchinson is a cock and i had to mop up some sick.. euw.

Here is a review kindly provided by Jordan Sexboss Saxby. Have a read;



10th January 1in12 Discoplastique NightFirst on this night were the zoo, a three piece that made a professional first impression with a clean cut sound and no messing about between songs. The lead singer has a nice voice, which suits the music they’re playing, however the music they are playing is nothing special. Don’t get me wrong, I would happily watch them again, but I would defiantly not be searching for them. The inclusion of an arctic monkeys cover was the last nail in the coffin for my opinion of this band, as it proved they’re just following the safe and boring formula of simple chord structures, indie shirts, breast guitars 1 and repetitive choruses to create a very bland musical experience.
The next band (after the presentation of the birthday cake for Lucas the promoter) were The Frenetics, and they played the best I have ever seen them. They take the formula I was just moaning about The Zoo using, and create something new with it. These boys are adventurous within their indie boundaries and aren’t afraid to try something new, the product of this is a well produced sound, brilliant stage presence, the ability to pull off two covers other bands would struggle to make even acceptable for human hearing and a feeling this band are making the music they enjoy. By the end of the set I was defiantly a fan of this brilliant band.
The night then got even better, and here was me thinking that no one would be able to beat the frenetic set this night. But the four piece sweet madness that is Just Handshakes We’re British (which is an amazing name!) blew me away. These three boys and a girl are truly inspired. They created a purely original, gorgeously cute sound. The use of both a tambourine as a drum stick and the little keyboard created the feeling I was listening to something new. The word twinkly was used at one point, and this probably sums up this band in a word. Me, of course being 6 years old inside, was very excited by the end of this band *smiles* and came away glowing. It was a pity the large crowd of people The Frenetics drew in didn’t stick around to see them.
The headliners, Lego Castles, instantly grabbed my attention as they were setting up as they were packing an extra floor tom and a glockenspiel. This theme of cool extra instruments was pretty much continued on throughout the amazingly energetic set (and if you ever see me play music live, you know they must be energetic for me to pick up on it!). However, I was let down by this band as they were VERY reminiscent of Los Campasinos and I like to go out and see bands make something new, not something I’ve seen before. This created what seemed to me a fake undertone to this band which kept me from appreciating them completely. It was fun, interesting to watch, and nice to listen to, but rather low in terms of originality.
Overall this night was mixed bag, with lots of brilliance, but a few moments of boredom. But, taking everything into account, this was a truly enjoyable night by a very professional and dedicated promoter. I look forward to going to more Disco Plastique gigs I the future.Have fun,Jordan

We're taking over The Mix.

The Momeraths.

Ok, well here it goes. The first band I am going to introduce you to.



The Momeraths.
www.myspace.com/wherethemomerathsgo



these lovely lovely people will be playing the 1ni12 club on the 7th of february. I would like to describe this band as 'Slow Club with Electric guitars', however they often do acoustic gigs. The band are a upbeat guitar pop band, one of my favourite genres at the moment. The band were named after those little fuzzy animals from Alice In Wonderland.. It's a good choice of name to be honest as if i was to describe their music animalistically a small fuzzy creature is what i would describe it as.
They will be playing glasto 09 and lounge at the farm, which is an ace thing to achieve lets face it!.



I fully reccomend you go listen to this band as they are ace and will warm you heart up just to the right level, like a hot chocolate with ice cream and sprinkles on top.

Keep posted Lucas.

What Are We Doing Here?!

Helllloooo people.
Firstly, I would like to welcome you to the Beep! magazine blog! You may ask what is the point of this blog? Well let me tell you.....
Yes, I am a bit of a loser and I do a lot of time surfing the net late at night and most of the day. This blog is here so that I can tell you all about the little things going on in the Beep! world, all updates and anything that couldn't make it into the magazine.
You may not be amazed to hear i don't only like local music from Bradford, and that in fact I like music from all over the place! I will be filling you in bands I find and think that you should all know about.

Well that's it for this post, keep your eyes open for more posts I'm sure this blog will be both entertaining and informative YAY!!

oooh PS ... I know i can't spell and I'm shit with grammar[although im trying hard as a new years resolution] but lets make a game out of it yeh?... the first people to point out spelling and grammar mistakes gets a special prize!!
