Yesss #TheCords @skepwax.bsky.social

Highlights from the Catenary Wires on Saturday were the gorgeous Things I Love, with its namecheck for The Fall and @heavenlyamelia.bsky.social’s vocal as beautifully, perfectly fragile and tremulous as I remember from that first gig at the Arnolfini back in 2014, and Mirrorball, surely the [1/4]

A photo of @brianbilston.bsky.social from last night’s fantastic gig with the Catenary Wires. Songs being poems and poems being songs and guitars being utter guitars – what more could you want? Tickets still available for the rest of the tour. @heavenlyamelia.bsky.social @skepwax.bsky.social [1/2]

Tonight! At Bloomsbury Theatre, London.

Thanks so much to everyone who came to see us in Banbury last night. What a pleasure it was to perform our songs and read poems to you. Next up is some place called London on Saturday night. We’re at the Bloomsbury Theatre and incredibly there are still tickets left. brianbilston.com/events/

Second night of that frankly ridiculous four gigs in four days and it’s @brianbilston.bsky.social and the Catenary Wires at the Mill Arts Centre in Banbury. The main event of song poems - available on the amazing @skepwax.bsky.social album - is supported by two acts…

New interview with The Cords!

BRIGHTON (and surrounding environs): we’re coming to the Komedia next week for a night of poetry and music. If you can’t make it, I shall be very disappointed. Tickets available here: www.komedia.co.uk/shows/brian-...

It’s Tulpa time! We saw them play a storming show at Ramsgate Music Hall; meanwhile Steve Lamacq and Marc Riley were playing them @bbc6music.bsky.social

Ace interview with Lightheaded up at Big Takeover. "Lightheaded has effectively consolidated the foundational achievements of their previous two releases, presenting a sound that is more exquisitely bittersweet and artistically fully-realized than ever before." bigtakeover.com/interviews/a...

It's Heavenly! It's all very well getting down with the kids, as long as you're confident that the getting up again will be graceful. Which it was. Their brilliant summer single Portland Town now on the Late Show, as they're off to the USA in 2026 and we may never see them again. buff.ly/mElkz2O

Tulpa - and The Cords too!

A slow response to such exciting news from @skepwax.bsky.social – I’ve been trying to find the right words. Corrugated, morose, gherkin, squeamish and balustrade, for example, are not the right words. But they’ll have to do, or else you might miss out on something I know will be totally corrugated.

WALES GOES POP! …is back! 3-5 April next year

Heavenly are going on tour next year!

They used a bit of the Super-8 footage of the trains that will be familiar to those who remember the promo for the first Heavenly single I Fell In Love Last Night. www.herecomestheflood.com/2025/10/bria... @brianbilston.bsky.social @skepwax.bsky.social #catenarywires #video

Well, this always was a poem I’d find myself whistling while doing the washing up, so no surprise that @skepwax.bsky.social have made it a single; and if the train in the video looks familiar, check out Heavenly’s I Fell In Love Last Night on YouTube – there’s thought goes into this stuff, you know.

The Cords debutan con un disco en el que apuestan por un indie-pop de claro sabor ochentero con el que hacen verdaderas maravillas. Y todo esto sin que las hermanas Tesdechi, sus dos componentes, hayan cumplido la mayoría de edad. Vía @skepwax.bsky.social www.indienauta.com/the-cords-th...

Upbeat and highly infectious, they sing about relationships hassles, the beauty of Autumn, lovable liars, and hairstyles that were not a particularly good idea. www.herecomestheflood.com/2025/10/the-... @skepwax.bsky.social @slumberyote.bsky.social #thecords

"It would be cool if we were a stadium band, but we also love the little cult following we have at the moment... that already feels like a crazy amount of people." INTERVIEW: Scottish sunshine pop duo The Cords ☀️ www.theskinny.co.uk/music/interv... @skepwax.bsky.social @slumberlandrecords.com

Here’s a poem called ‘English Roundabouts’.

It was such a joy to be in session with The Catenary Wires for the Riley & Coe show on @6music.bsky.social last night. Loved the Maida Vale studios. We played four songs and had a chat with @gidcoe.bsky.social. You can listen to it here (but only if you want to): www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Brian Bilston and The Catenary Wires are doing a LIVE session for @gidcoe.bsky.social tomorrow. Tune in at 9pm @bbc6music.bsky.social

Their shared vocals lead the way on this retro-sounding slice of jangling pop, made by cherished analogue instruments. It is a sad song that can cheer one up for sure. www.herecomestheflood.com/2025/09/the-... @skepwax.bsky.social @slumberlandrecords.com #thecords #inconcert
