3️⃣5️⃣ Shows (Starting Saturday) 7️⃣3️⃣Different Artists and Counting Booked 3️⃣ Different Venues ♾️ Good Times

NP: the latest EP by @middingband.bsky.social I have such a soft spot for this little band, but any band that references Skinny Puppy and Psychic TV, but then mixes it in with something so modern and drone/shoegazy, I'm going to love them. 🖤 middingband.bandcamp.com/album/44-ep

Thursday night at Little Hill!! Epic night of indie rock shoegaze pop!!

Tomorrow's gig is this, my first since December. Outrageous! I've been time challenged, rehearsing with two bands. 🙏 Becoming one with the drone (Drone Orchestra) and Jonny Halifax Invocation in a church setting is the cure...

Swervedriver are coming to the UK. That's right. Only London announced so far.

A nice roundup of just a small amount of bands performing: as noted in the article, the size of the festival makes seeing every tipped band just an impossible proposition, much like Manchester Psych Fest. Good review of Mouth Ulcers there, fairly keen to see them...

NP: new track by My Precious Bunny, one half of Penelope Isles. There's almost a Solange feel to this track, that looping and rough edged hook, but the energy switch at the end will be of interest to guitar dream poppers... mypreciousbunny.bandcamp.com/album/a-mome...

I think this might be a real "sleeper" gig, Julie's Haircut are a band that you listen to and ask yourself "why are they not bigger?!"

RSVP on the link below if you’d like to come to a FREE listening party tomorrow evening. We are previewing ‘Tears Before Bedtime’, the really excellent new album by The Would-be-goods. 7.30 for 8pm GMT. @would-be-goods.bsky.social would-be-goods.bandcamp.com/merch/tears-...

Late Afternoon Light. 7°C. A Barn Owl up early.

Second wave announcement for this Leeds festival... I am super, super excited about Gift being on this lineup, I missed their last tour through...

I'm a massive fan of pôt-pot, and it's my absolute pleasure to announce this gig at Just Dropped In. I'm extra delighted to be performing with Glisten Trick, opening up for this much anticipated show! 💛

From the @insidesuk.bsky.social FB page...

Hello sexy people. Tomorrow you'll see A LOT of messages about Bandcamp Friday. I would just like you to know I only have 3 copies of my recent EP on cassette left, and I'm telling you today because by the end of tomorrow I would love to say I had sold out hawaiiworms.bandcamp.com/album/kiosk-67

Consult your local Shamanic practitioner and ask….”Am I Conscious Now?”…. A dense ambient album filled with psychedelic experiences, immersion, and tension! Disk Union File under: Ambient, Psych, New Age Coming soon on Before I Die label.

NP: latest by @jamesadrianbrown.bsky.social ... "Generator" I think he played live at Trades: the wide sonic tickling and explosive spectrum unfurling. He packs elements in while still giving them room to breathe, this makes his live shows so thrilling. jamesadrianbrown.bandcamp.com/album/foreve...

Looking for gigs for 2026. I can do my current thing (psychedelic modular synth + drum machine) but also happy to do more laid back/ambient/no drums sets if the event calls for it. Hit me up if you're interested!

@linesofsilence.com are opening for Utopia Strong in Manchester, on 7 May. Just leaving this here... 💙

Feel good hits of the 5th February: Haress, Our Girl, Bloody Head, Julia Holter, Aretha Franklin, Snail Mail, Sugar, Weird Nightmare, Lightning Bolt, Tinned Meats silentwordsspeakloudest.blogspot.com/2026/02/feel...

Bluesky audience, did you say? 👀🦻🎶

Skullcrusher has announced two live dates in the UK, one in London, one in Manchester (16 and 18 June). Lots of links here: linktr.ee/im_skullcrus...

NP: Advance tracks from Ivan The Tolerable, motorik post rock guitar based ambient which effortlessly glides, except when it's chugging and skronking, it's beautiful. ivanthetolerable.bandcamp.com/album/chromo...

New single from Cruush out NOW. 💛

NP: I needed to chill the *%&@ out; this episode enabled that. With 5/6 stop/starts, over about a week, I've tried to sit mindfully, and today it's done the trick. I'm in agreement, my mind is turning more and more toward calm enhancing music. 🙏 www.blankmood.com/p/episode-29

A wonderful venue, Puzzle Hall Inn, and a fabulous lineup too with @fuzzylightsband.bsky.social and Bradford's Hexama. One for a leisurely Sunday. Image taken from IG.

@panamericanmusic.bsky.social announces new album via @krankyltd.bsky.social, shares two tracks, 'Death Cleaning' and 'Taxi to the Terminal'. Full details... sun-13.com/2026/02/03/p...

In December, I submitted a tongue in cheek comment noting that I'd keep the program up to date with my developments... unexpectedly, my update was read out over the air. 🤭💛 It's true, we've just announced a London gig for Glisten Trick for 25 April at Strongroom, with Strange Lot & Sierpinski.

Scippio thinks it’s time to get the Zoom multistomp out of the pedal repository. It’s great for the hyper modulated shoegazy tones he loves.

Glisten Trick are performing in London on 25 April, as part of this stellar lineup with Strange Lot (Fuzz Club) and Sierpinski. Delighted to be performing at this gig, and seeing London friends once again. 💛

@glazyhaze.bsky.social announce EU and southeastern UK dates... nothing north of Ramsgate I'm afraid. You'll just have to wait a little longer to see them, everyone in the north and midlands!

Ha as a musician, this did make me laugh. Pretty sure they have more bangers in them... doing a dive through back catalogue in anticipation of this new album coming out at the end of Feb.

Lines of Silence play The Carlton Club in Manchester, 14 Feb. Celebrating our signing to Sprechen by supporting the head honcho’s act, The Thief of Time. No theft involved, we’ll all be exchanging your time for tunes! www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Man...

An announcement of some musical news tomorrow. Me playing keys and a tambourine for attention...

STOKED to play Noise Pop 2026! Catch us Feb 20 at the Rickshaw Stop with @thepainsofbeing.bsky.social and @livinghour.bsky.social !

We recently passed 800 followers! Nearly up to where we got to before Twitter became a hell-scape. To celebrate, you can find some codes in the replies to download our 'Welcome Lies' album for FREE: jilk.bandcamp.com/yum

Green vinyl repress of our long sold-out 2023 ‘God Intentions’ album is available in the Fuzz Club store now, alongside our upcoming collab album with AL LOVER, dropping next week 🌪️ Pre-order both ‘God Intentions’ and ‘Arise’ together to get a 10% bundle discount: fuzzclub.com/collections/...

That is a natural home for the whimsical, modernist folk sounds of Spencer Cullum!

14 February is my next gig... in Manchester with @linesofsilence.com , opening for Thief Of Time at the Carlton Club. It's a packed bill! ra.co/events/2322216

If you were looking for the intersection between Windy & Carl and pedal steel, this is it. Floating away... barrywalker.bandcamp.com/album/paleo-...

New acts added for Ypsigrock in Sicily this summer. If I could go every year to this festival I would, it's that good. 🙏

Last week we used a new community interest company (CIC) rehearsal space in Leeds, and it was brilliant. Rolling back wealth consolidation must be a main music industry concern for 2026.

🎛️🎚️🎶🎸

Happy Monday all 🤍 My debut mini album Home Truths is out this Friday. Thank you so much for the preorders, there are but seven limited edition CDs remaining via @yyzrecords.bsky.social: yyzrecords.bandcamp.com/album/home-t... Here’s Running On Emptiness, live at The Knockout, San Francisco…

Great space to present this gig, this has gone into my diary. 👀

Happy birthday to singer-songwriter Graham Nash, 84 today. Born in Blackpool, to where his mother had been evacuated from her hometown of Salford when WW2 began. Family subsequently returned to Salford, where Nash grew up.

NP: New single by Cult Of Dom Keller, new album released 27 March, produced by Angus Andrew of Liars. Probably going to go back and listen to older catalogue... thecultofdomkeller.bandcamp.com/album/unholy...

Just a reminder about tonight’s Bandcamp listening party. Playback and chat kick off at 19:00. Link below if you fancy joining us to talk things out ✌️ x jamesadrianbrown.bandcamp.com/merch/foreve... @castlesinspace.bsky.social
