gLASSsHRiMP radio: Wed 1st Feb 2006

after last weeks live extravaganza we calm things down a little with only 2 live acts this week...

we welcome something of a debut from the mighty Giant Paw - a so far studio only project with members based in london, prague & bodmin - the filth and the furry!
info(?) at: www.giantpaw.co.uk

also a welcome back to MTK - trio (Tom Tlalim, Matt Wright and Keir Neuringer) based in the Hague - improv with loops and breakbeats, their last 'sHRiMP session was pretty special so this should be a treat!

gLASSsHRiMP radio: Wed 25th Jan 2006

5pm til 6.30pm (London time) - as ever broadcast live on Resonance 104.4FM in central London and streaming from www.resonancefm.com

a live music feast this week with 3/4 live acts in the studio - Castanets / Jana Hunter - Raymond Raposa (guitar, electronics, and vocals) brings his epic and inspiring avant country songs and will be accompanied by Jana Hunter (no beard) on bass and vocals. Jana Hunter's songs, her haunting voice & unique guitar style make her recently released gloriously lo-fi debut 'Blank Unstaring Heirs of Doom' a very special record indeed, it's the first record to be released by Gnomonsong, a record label founded and run by Devendra Banhart and Vetiver’s Andy Cabic. www.janahunter.tk www.myspace.com/janahunter www.asthmatickitty.com

also in and kicking off the show are Leeds based trio Quack Quack who make rather beautiful minimal rock music, sometimes droney, often rhythmic - in town for a show at the Brixton Windmill (25/1) supportes by the also splendid Kyote. Quack Quack have a cd-ep out on Run of the Mill records and a 7" coming soon. www.runofthemillrecords.co.uk

we also welcome back Alun Tan Lan, he was in a while back as an accompianist to Euros Childs, he's back with some of his own fine songs (perhaps) from his rather lovely 'Y Distawrwydd' CD - also in London for a show at the Barfly (25/1) with the Poppies. www.aluntanlan.com

bag contents unimportant as we'll play very little with all that live music on - in there is the Warmer Milks, the Poppies, Super700, Majessic Dreams, Ariel Pink - so expect a couple of those.

also live in the studio we have Sanso-Xtro, the extraordinary project of Melissa Agate from Adelaide, Australia but currently based in London. her album 'Sentimentalist' (Type, 2005) is a unique and very rhythmic work of acoustic and electronic sounds taking in a range of styles, from avant-jazz to experimental analog electronica. for live performance (and this session) Melissa is assisted by Enrico Glerean and Nik Tafra.

gLASSsHRiMP radio: Wed Jan 11th 2006

sorry for lack of announcement of last weeks guests... it all came together at the last minute but thanks to Nikki Sudden and Darrell Bath who came in and did a splendid live session for us - and to Mandy Braden who came in to talk about her dance performance at the Place this week and brought live dance to the 'sHRiMP show for the first time!

this weeks show features 2 sessions and interviews... we welcome Leeds artist Napoleon III - bringing his mad experi-mental 1-man band-ness back to the show - "a mad melting pot of Super Furries fighting with Aphex Twin and The Residents at a musical car boot sale"
www.napoleoniiird.com

also we will be welcoming Prefect/Nightingale and solo artist Robert Lloyd in to the studio for a chat and he will be bringing an exclusive session by the Nightingales with him. The Nightingales reformed in 2004 and produced 4 7"s on their own label Big Print (soon to be compiled on CD); also forthcoming is a new mini album. late 2005 also saw the CD re-issue of their classic 2nd and 3rd albums. the band will be in London for 2 shows this coming weekend; Friday night at the Spitz and on Saturday at a Guided Missile night at the Buffalo Bar.
www.thenightingales.org.uk


too early to consider what's in the bag... but it could include Woe Colossus, Francis Plagne, the Warmer Milks, Sunburned Hand of the Man (cdr releases), Josephine Foster (fab aussie tour 7"), Drekka, the Weird Weeds, Radio Luxembourg, UpCDownC and a whole heap more - be surprised!
