Lester

Intrigued to know about the sets or songs you’ve caught - by accident - where a band you’ve never heard of absolutely blows your mind. Your most memorable discoveries. It’s happened to me a few times.

...to a tshirt and a vinyl. One of the band asked if he wants it signed. Of course he does. Next minute this guy is running around the place trying to find his bandmates. Took him about 10 mins, eventually comes back with a vinyl fully singed by all 6 members, with little doodles on. Made his night!

A few years ago my son 13/14 at the time comes home and says his friend Elle has recommended a band called Twin Peaks. He thinks I'll like them. I did. Turns out they were playing Manchester in about 2 weeks. Booked tickets, we went. Had a great gig.
After a the Merch stall I treat him...

PERENNIAL, OORT CLOD, SUMOS @ PEER HAT 13TH OCTOBER (collab with SAFE SUBURBAN HOME RECORDS) Three Safe Suburban Home bands in one night. https://safesuburbanhomerecords.bandcamp.com/ Perennial (USA) A 'modernist punk' band from...

Never even heard of them doing this! I approve very much so.

Meanwhile us Manchester United fans just get shirts in Stone Roses Jackson Pollock style🙄 yes I have one

This is lovely to hear! And makes me really want to try to get to the gig now. If I do and have a chance to say hello I'll make sure to let him know you said Hi also

Thanks for sharing this. Discovering for the first time and finding out he is playing Manchester in a couple of weeks. Will have to try to get myself there!

Slow burn first. Ideally a short one. Then hit em with the banger!

6 weeks holiday, all rules go out of the window! Stay up late and chocolate buttons for breakfast!

Always makes me laugh when guitar shops say big savings on guitars and its like was £1500 now £1475. Oh thanks because without that saving I never would have parted with my cash🙄
I'm just jealous really that I cant afford expensive guitars🤣

I Read It In A Book Once, by Lester O'Shea 7 track album

Hi, so I released an album type thing
lesteroshea.bandcamp.com/album/i-read...

If you'll trust what I know, I thiiiiink @catblackard.bsky.social has made the tape version of Steamed Hams (which can be gotten from @needlejuice.bsky.social) the best possible presentation of the album.

Yes, my heart is still with vinyl, but I said what I said!

Goodbye Wudaokou forthcoming single, Loop Back To Us, from the new album.

Coming soon… #indiepop #jangle #Manchester #NewOrdervibes #hazardperception

Awesome! Thinking of just rocking about with a waffle and a slice of cheese like an absolute legend!

Nobody gonna mention what looks like a bad ass cape?

Two copies left if you feel like buying one today.

Currently this one. I had an idea, I stuck to the idea and the idea worked.
Vocals are actually semi decent, nice bit of guitar here and there.
Sort of ambiguous lyrics, but mostly about trying to keep your light shining bright, and singing your song.

Interesting. Ive often wondered if I didn't record under my own name would it change the way and what I wrote about.

Something to look forward to!
How do you decide whats used for neuclouds and whats for shopfires?
Do you know right away whilst writing or is it when recording?

Here's some codes for my album if anybody wants one.

Why ditch Spotify and buy music on Bandcamp "A Spotify subscription does not benefit indie music or the artists you listen to on Spotify. The reason is simple."

My take on Spotify open.substack.com/pub/starttra...

How does that intro bass line sound like about 5 songs at once.
Definitely La Bamba though

In need of education?

A full Album? Yeahhhhhh

I'm hoping it does!
Unfortunately I am fully on the Oasis hype train! Choo choo!

My 3rd album 'How Will I Know?' is it now.

12 DIY indie rock tunes about about life, death, hope, despair, videogames and the state of the world in 2025. Available on streaming, digital download and limited edition CD (Bandcamp). Thanks very much to all who listen!
