broadcast live on Resonance 104.4 fm - 5 til 6.30pm (UK time) - Wednesday 8th November 2006 - fm in London, streaming from www.resonancefm.comdouble helping of live music from across the pond on this weeks show...
well pleased to have David Lowery & Johnny Hickman from Cracker in for a live session - in town for a couple of sold-out shows at the Borderline to promote their current album 'Greenland' (amazingly their 7th). for those too young or with short memories David Lowery fronted (and indeed fronts) Santa Cruz's finest sons Camper Van Beethoven. www.crackersoul.com
our exciting 2nd live act are the C.R.Avery Band..... C R is a beatboxer, singer-songwriter, poet and musician from Ontario, Canada; author of hip-hop operas & regular performer at poetry slams. appearing this week at the Borderline (9/11) with his band - music has been compared both Bruce Springsteen & Tom Waits which both make sense to me (the early Bruce angle hits home to me most, the material is very original mind) - sometimes semi-spoken gritty tales from the street (so yeah maybe a bit of Lou Reed in there as well); Avery has a reputation as an exhilarating performer so this should be a real treat.
www.cravery.comalso a tribute sequence to Jason DiEmilio who sadly took his own life last week. From Philadelphia Jason made a succession of 7"s and a few albums under the name Azusa Plane & one full-length as Spires of Oxford back in 1995-2001 whilst also running a couple of record labels. A truly inspirational drone artist who certainly helped change my own listening habits, challenged my thoughts on how one could make music & even my opinion on what music is and what it is for. www.pitchforkmedia.com/page/news/category/obituaryalso in the bag: Sh*t & Shine, Swagger Jack, Meg Baird/Helena Espvall/Sharron Kraus, Joe Lally & the Rank Deluxe.
your guides: Kev Head, Roxanne Stephen, Charlene Katuwawala, Shona Davidson & Neil Kleinerif you can please get along to the Resonance website and take part in the Listener Survey - link is right there on the front page www.resonancefm.com - it's very important that as many listeners as possible take part; it is linked to our Arts Council funding and key to securing future funding for ResonanceFM which i hope you think's a good thing - so please make the effort, only takes a couple of minutes.
broadcast live on Resonance 104.4 fm - 5 til 6.30pm (UK time) - Wednesday 4th October 2006 - fm in London, streaming from www.resonancefm.coma double session plus feast this week falling on the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street..
www.whatnextjournal.co.uk/Pages/History/Cable.htmlhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Cable_Street
live, we are well chuffed to welcome the Nightingales - Midlands based indie legends fronted by Robert Lloyd who was our guest earlier in year when the band had pre-recorded a session for us. as promised Robert has returned with the full band and a treat you are in for. new album 'Out of True' (Iron Man) is a massive and important addition to their vital back catalogue - "right from the sardonic opening battle cry of Born Again in Birmingham ('Cheap wraps of coke were yet to hit Nuneaton'), Out of True finds the Nightingales not merely back to their best, but actually improved." (Ben Thompson, the Telegraph); "new line-up, which includes the teenage wunderkind guitarist Matt Wood, sees their front man, Robert Lloyd, splatter kitchen-sink cut-up lyrics over scratchy, rhythmically challenging riffs, like a Black Country Captain Beefheart. The album’s opener, Born Again in Birmingham, steamrolls over his unwitting inheritors" (Sunday Times)
www.thenightingales.org.uk
live music also from the fantastic Clark - Warp records solo artiste Chris Clark joins us for a live set. he has just released the album 'Body Riddle' (Warp), his 3rd of juddering electronic music - electronic groans and washes mixed with electro-funk. some free mp3 previews at his throttleclark website, maybe even buy his record if you like them!

Skip McDonald - Skip McDonald IS Little Axe. originally from Dayton, Ohio Skip played the blues from the age of 8 (1957), although by the time he was 12 years old he had opted to perform doo-wop. Along with bassplayer Doug Wimbish and drummer Keith LeBlanc formed the house band for the pioneering rap label Sugar Hill, providing the music for some of the most seminal records of the era by Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaata et al. From there he worked closely with Adrian Sherwood on many of projects for the On-U Sound label, as well as spearheading the band Tackhead and working with Living Colour. He has been the prime mover behind Little Axe since around 1992, the debut album "Wolf That House Built" was a personal take on blues and dub, and was released to critical acclaim in 1994. Skip has continued to fuse blues and electronic music into this decade. Along with Skip we welcome back Rupert Orton from Not The Same Old Blues Crap (www.punkrockblues.co.uk) who will talking about the month-long Spitz Festival of Blues which will feature Little Axe among a large and diverse range of shows.
