It's gone now folks. All official updates on here!

“If you want to know what it feels like to be a man, try spending 25 years in a band” It was 25 years ago today that we played our first ever live gig. I think we did one the week before at Immtech (the place where Becky and I were doing our New Deal for Musicians course) but that doesn’t count.

Think i'm ready to kill the Daytrip Recs FB page. Whenever I remember to post something on it (about once every 6 months), it only ever gets a couple of likes from the same people. Is anyone still on FB (I deleted my personal profile years ago now)?

Was also loads of dancing to the excellent DJ sets including Tim’s! Some of you lovely Mixlr Mixers got me vouchers when the moon closed and we finally used some of them going to Bletchley Park after, so THANK YOU! x 🧮 ❤️

Leicesterval Day 1 Spearmint, Dancer, Cowtown ❤️ Great playing with The Loves again ❤️ Saw my Bristol high school bezzie mate walk past which was a lush coincidence, then at the Travelodge while waiting for midnight pizza to arrive, Adwaith walk through the door, who had been playing in Nottingham😅😅🍕

You heard him!

It's #BandcampFriday! Vinyl LPs by @thisistheloves.bsky.social and All Ashore! are available from daytriprecords.bandcamp.com!

I’ll be DJing before these guys on Sunday (apologies in advance!) - Saturday tickets have long gone but a few Sunday tickets still remain. (Artwork is also by me btw).

Hi! It's now less than a week till the ever wonderful Leicesterval (the Leicester indiepop event which is taking place over 2 days this year). Daytrip Recs is honoured to have a sizable presence at said event, with The Loves on Saturday and a Daytrip Recs DJ set on Sunday. Unmissable I would say...

Eight days to Leicesterval, and here's how the timings look... @dancerband.bsky.social @thisistheloves.bsky.social @projectoverload.bsky.social @pinkopaque.co.uk @cheerbleederz.bsky.social @fightmilkband.bsky.social @daytriprecords.com @machomusicisstupid.co.uk

All Ashore! are back for a show on the 15th of February in Saltaire! Their classic 10" LP is still available from Daytrip Recs here... daytriprecords.bandcamp.com/album/stayin...

We're returning to Pop At The Lock! Our first show for 2025 is in the diary and it's a belter. There will be more to follow this year, and perhaps even a new record too. Tickets on sale from March 1st.

I'm DJing at the wonderful Leicesterval in March, alongside some legends of the scene. See you there.

A gentle reminder that @themooncardiff.bsky.social's fundraiser for staff who lost their jobs after the closure is still open. It's doing great (thank you so much) but if you can spare any amount at this difficult time, it would mean a lot to us.

A Daytrip-related release for a good cause... Our beloved venue The Moon sadly closed it's doors a few weeks ago. To help raise money for it's staff who are out of work just before christmas, @edtownendcdf.bsky.social put together these live tracks made at the venue. Includes a new The School song!

It's the last #BandcampFriday before xmas! Available on the Daytrip Records bandcamp whilst stocks last is this special Loves bundle! For the same price as a double vinyl TRUE LOVE - THE MOST OF THE LOVES comp, i'm also throwing in the christmas classic December Boy on pink 7" until they run out!

Inspired by Pixy, I've done a list of the singles that I've written to introduce me to people here. All top 10 smashes. open.spotify.com/playlist/3iY...

Good to see @simonloverules.bsky.social The Loves too. I think the last time I saw them was at Indietracks in 2016?

Top entertainment in that London this evening with the always incredible Darling Buds playing live at the 229 Club supported with a fantastic set by The Loves! Video evidence to follow!

The Loves! Live! Tonight! Sold out! True Love - The Most Of The Loves available in the lobby.

I’m playing a show today at 229 on Great Portland Street with my old group The Loves supporting The Darling Buds. It’s sold out but I’m sure there’ll be tickets somewhere. We’ll also have copies of the double-vinyl “TRUE LOVE” compilation to flog @daytriprecords.com

Hey! It's #BandcampFriday! Enjoy the music video to Little Girl Blues by The Loves, from way back in 2001. TRUE LOVE - THE MOST OF THE LOVES double 12" vinyl and digital available NOW from daytriprecords.bandcamp.com! @simonloverules.bsky.social

It's the first BANDCAMP FRIDAY in ages. This is a perfect time to pick up a copy of TRUE LOVE - THE MOST OF THE LOVES, a double 12" LP comp of the best moments in the career of the Cardiff bubblegum rock 'n' roll Peel favourites (4 sessions!). Today i'm sharing this 2010 music video for Bubblegum...

I’m playing a show tomorrow at Biddle Bros in Lower Clapton. Free entry! Starts at 7:30? Probably. Just me solo attempting to block out the voices and remember how my songs go.

In case you missed this, in my continued efforts to archive The Loves' film history on YouTube, here's an advertisement for the 2nd LP Technicolour starring @robinince.bsky.social made in 2006. From the archives of director Ryan Eddleston (award-winning cinematographer for Doctor Who).

Everyone follow my pal @popnhops.bsky.social on here, who's joining us all in this post-Twitter world. Best craft beer pub and bottle shop (that also sells records) around (on Whitchurch Rd, Cardiff).

For Bandcamp Friday, here's the debut live performance of The Loves' new song True Love, recorded at Wales Goes Pop! 2024! The album is available on double vinyl and digital at daytriprecords.bandcamp.com!

The Loves' comeback tour continues! They're headlining this great show in Finsbury Park, London on Saturday the 8th of June! Don't miss! TRUE LOVE - THE MOST OF THE LOVES is still available at daytriprecords.bandcamp.com

Today is the first Bandcamp Friday since the record came out, so if you're planning to buy, this would be a good time to do it. 2 LPs and 37 hits from the Cardiff Peel favs!

The Daytrip Records YouTube channel continues to be updated with Loves music videos from throughout the ages. From today you can view That Boy Is Mine...

TRUE LOVE - THE MOST OF THE LOVES is out now! You can order from daytriprecords.com OR come to see their album launch show at Wales Goes Pop! tonight in @themooncardiff.bsky.social and buy it there!

Also, thanks to Pennyblack Music for this great review!
