Red Cavalry

Was brilliant, they used our drums and we were right at the front of this tiny venue so was perfect. Though we traded details & our drummer lost them 🤣
I'm really jealous I'd have loved to have seen the Housemartins or the first incarnation of the Beautiful South!

My favourite Heaton track that. Always inspired me that you can write pop melodies to interesting\political lyrics & make it unique.

Was really lucky to have supported him and Jacqui Abbot at his pub in Salford in a previous band!

All Paul! And Mid 60s Beatles but late 80s Beautiful South

Such a wonderful show this.

Great chance to check out the Dame Fawn Denier cover of our track Bower Meadow too!

No problem the whole song is great but vocal melody is........divine. Like a mix of Paul McCartney and Paul Heaton

On Red Cavalry's 'Alas, So Long' LP A bewitching indie-pop LP which is also a stunning act of literary ventriloquism

This @redcavalry.bsky.social song, & the LP that surrounds it, has provided me with one of the best fortnights in my recent memory - a small patch of time just utterly absorbed and thrilled by a band operating at a dazzling level. Wrote about it extensively here:

Is it cheating to just read band's bandcamp profile summaries on the radio? Maybe, but I love that bit of writing Hedge Burners supplied and re-supplied in that last link.

Playing @redcavalry.bsky.social now! This next bit is the heart of the show; two magnificent songs written the same band.

We're working on a song that's about how people become the thing their younger self would hate - the saddest thing is that he's really become that.
We heard clips of I am Veronica he did live a few years back & held out hopes this next album would be a return to form 🙃

Will be checking them out when your show is done....rather than the new Morrissey record which I forgot had come out. After hearing the first 2 singles honest dread to think what the rest is like.

That @somehappything.bsky.social is such 60s bliss absolutely love it

pulling all the clouds apart, by Cypress, Mine! 10 track album

Over the next hour tonight: a special focus on @redcavalry.bsky.social & indie-pop, folk, literary indie delights as usual. Possible I'll ramble on a bit.

Playing 'Reflections of Jane' by @theclientele.bsky.social in a second &, right now, another great song from the new @cypressmine.bsky.social LP

These words from our song Light on the Horizon feel more applicable every day of late.

Nepo Baby fantasies
Rebrand the lies as truth
Cause optimistic entropy
make dystopian youth

There's a truth they cannot hide from you

Light On The Horizon

These words from our song Light on the Horizon feel more applicable every day of late.

Nepo Baby fantasies
Rebrand the lies as truth
Cause optimistic entropy
make dystopian youth

There's a truth they cannot hide from you

Today showed there's light on the horizon - we have a song for that.

But this from Owen is the important message - anything that threatens the status quo gets bombarded

Surely there's one Labour supporter, journalist or political commentator on this site who can explain this

Can anyone explain where Starmer's reputation for 'integrity' or being 'decent' comes from? What we can see is

Poacher turned gamekeeper as a lawyer
10 pledges & purges as loto
Awful candidates parachuted into safe seats
Questionable donations from Lord Alli
Happy to dilute policies for the rich
