Neil Halstead live – 4AD Night at the ICA

Published on October 10, 2004 in Mojave 3 and Neil Halstead. 0 Comments

On Thursday October 28, 4AD joins the Vapour Festival to present an evening of live music at the ICA in London.

Neil Halstead from Mojave 3 headlines, playing his first solo show in the UK since his album “Sleeping On Roads” was released back in 2002. Neil has spent most of the summer down in Cornwall working on the next Mojave 3 album – but whether any of this new material makes it into this evening’s set remains to be seen…

Neil is joined by Magn�tophone, who’ve spent even longer away from the stage than he has. Apart from a fleeting appearance at RoTA in Notting Hill earlier this year, John and Matt have been hunkered down in the studio for what seems like an eternity – but work on their long-awaited second album is now complete, and we’ll be seeing a lot more of them in 2005.

Tonight, they’re playing with special guest King Creosote, the Fence collective ringleader who will be travelling all the way from Fife for this performance – he’s just one of a veritable gallery of stars making an appearance on the new album. For more about King Creosote, check out the Fence website.

Cass McCombs comes to the ICA hotfoot from touring the UK with The Radio Department. He’ll be showcasing songs from his forthcoming album “PREfection”, which is set for release at the beginning of 2005 – as well as a few from his “compelling, sad and beautiful” (according to The Times) debut “A”.

The bill is completed by the wayward genius of Tunng, whose imminent debut album for the Static Caravan label will be one of next year’s choicest treasures. For more on them, head here.

Between these live performances, the audience will enjoy the finest in hand-delivered audio, courtesy of Minotaur Shock and DJs from Rough Trade Shops, Eat Your Own Ears and, of course, 4AD.

Rachel Goswell interview online @ pennyblackmusic.com

Published on October 9, 2004 in Mojave 3 and Rachel Goswell. 0 Comments

Hop over to pennyblackmusic.com where there’s a two part interview with Rachel discussing Slowdive, Mojave and her solo adventures. Choice quote regarding slowdive lyrics: “Some of it was ad libbed at the time. Some of it was just nonsensical like ‘Celia’s Dream’ was about a rabbit. It was about a film we watched about a rabbit (Laughs)”.

Err… cheers guys.. this puts the song in a whole new light for me :-)
