Nightshift magazine is a monthly window on Oxford’s music scene. This month our Waxwings synthpop remix gets a nice write up: “Richard Hawley fronting a soft-focus version of The Human League”… love that!😊 Nightshift: nightshiftmag.co.uk/2026/feb.pdf Waxwings synthpop remix: song.link/i/1855311729

Really looking forward to this, our first gig in a few months and great to be playing with guys we’ve known since Liverpool back in the 80s. Small capacity venue - get your tickets while they last…😘 🎫 www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Lon...

THIS is why we got a 7” single done!😊 (PS we have 4 left on our Bandcamp page… vernonsfuture.bandcamp.com/album/waxwings-steerpike )

A beautiful song by @vernonsfuture.bsky.social As discovered on #FreshIngredients radio show by @assistant.bandcamp.com vernonsfuture.bandcamp.com/track/waxwings

One of the best indie pop songs of recent years next: the extraordinary Waxwings by @vernonsfuture.bsky.social is on at the moment. Recently pressed on to 7" and so so worth getting. I hear lots of @lovejoy-official.bsky.social & Julian Cope in this one. Insanely gorgeous. #freshingredients

First off, if you’ve not hear Assistant then check them out. You can thank us later. Secondly, they have a radio show and we’re chuffed to be on this Sunday’s edition. Thank you, guys😊

Brilliant catching up with @vernonsfuture.bsky.social last night. One seriously good band,clearly attuned to one another - one needle running along one groove. Then, The Real People. Thrilling to hear them run through Window Pane et Al, as well as more recent offerings. #MusicSky

Once more, with feeling❤️ It’s a final gig of the year for us, and we’re back in our spiritual home Liverpool. Catch us on Sat 29/11 at Rough Trade along with dear friends Noel Burke / St Vitus Dance and @creditsband 🎫 dice.fm/event/eol5bw...

On this day in 2020 we put out a pair of songs - B Movie and Waiting at the Station. We’re pleased with how these turned out, and both later appeared on our album Aquaplaning. Happy 5th birthday, babies x 🎧 album.link/i/1643989608

In this week 6 years ago we released two singles: Lights Have Changed and Just Can’t Help Myself. We’ve not played the former live for a while, but the latter has grown to be a live favourite, certainly for us anyway😊 Both subsequently appeared on our 2022 album Aquaplaning… album.link/i/1643989608

Brand new synthpop remix available only on our Bandcamp now😘 vernonsfuture.bandcamp.com/track/waxwings-vf-absynthpop-mix #indiemusic #newmusic #waxwings #synthpop #bandcamp

Remember this from last summer? Waxwings was released a year ago this week… 🎧song.link/gb/i/1756666164 🎦youtu.be/5M6IZF_Md14

Sat 20/9 & we’re supporting our mates @st_vitus_dance_4u as they deliver ‘Noel Burke performs Reverberation’. If you don’t know know it Reverberation is the Bunnymen album where Noel was frontman, & it’s considered a lost classic of psychedelia… tickettailor.com/events/westhampsteadartsclub/1688819

So it’s festival season and we’re getting excited! Having a great time listening to bands with our mates. Why do festivals only issue Spotify playlists? Spotify have a terrible rep and 30% of ppl are using Apple Music🤷‍♂️ @truckfestival.bsky.social @greenmanfest.bsky.social @rockawaybeach.bsky.social

Our gig in Liverpool last November with St Vitus Dance (as ‘Noel Burke performs Reverberation’, the Noel-led Bunnymen album) sold out early. With a couple of months to go until we’re all doing it again in London, get tix before they’re gone… tickettailor.com/checkout/view-event/id/6063402/chk/a2b0/

Some excitement at VF Towers today (& not just cos of CMAT’s totally banging Glasto set). Here’s a pic of a test pressing 7” of Waxwings/Steerpike. The actual records will be clear vinyl, with sleeve/label artwork, and VERY limited indeed…

“Summer’s here, ain’t got the heart for making the most of the weather…” Our single Honeysuckle Love came out back in 2020, and has been a regular fixture in our live set ever since. We’d never done a lyric video for this one, but have now put that right. Check it out on YouTube youtu.be/ztvBHNer4fo

A largely unheard Assistant song for Sunday morning - this is 'James'.

11. Vernon's Future - Waxwings (2024) What do you do when you discover a new fave hiding in plain sight? Pretend you knew all along? I'd not listened to @vernonsfuture.bsky.social before today & wish I had. Waxwing is a twinkling, Julian Cope-esque delight vernonsfuture.bandcamp.com/track/waxwings

New merch & we’ve gone all Kays catalogue for the “photoshoot” this time round - nice👍😎 Our new tee has the covers from pretty much all our albums & singles, from 1990’s Smithdown Road, right up to Waxwings. On our Bandcamp now… vernonsfuture.bandcamp.com/merch/vernons-future-record-covers-t-shirt

Further to my call for #protest songs the other week, here's the #Bandcamp linked playlist bndcmpr.co/f151c1ae Amongst others, from BSky, it features: @vernonsfuture.bsky.social @redcavalry.bsky.social @deuxfurieuses.bsky.social @postindiepoets.bsky.social @amyhopwoodmusic.bsky.social #MusicSky

Last chance! If you want one, yell x

Had a good go at giving a few of these away this morning & only two takers, so having one last go! Happy to send to people in the UK for free, no postage required. (First few respondents, at least). It’s an indie pop fanzine written by me, with some nice writing & loads of great bands.
