NITE JEWEL + NICHOLAS KRGOVICH + ALDOUS RH

all perform LIVE at SOUP KITCHEN tomorrow night, Sunday 15th July 2012.
 Tickets are still available HERE

It's almost three  whole years since Ramona Gonzales' NITE JEWEL last played in Manchester. If you were there then or you've had the pleasure of listening to any of her pitch-perfect and perfectly pitched pop records on BIG LOVE, Italians Do It Better, No Pain In Pop, Gloriette, 1984 (stones throw), human ear, Mexican Summer or any of her self released cdrs. Her newest album 'One Second Of Love' arrived at the start of the year via Secretly Canadian and displays, as on all of the other releases, her knack for constucting a sophisticated pop music that is refined, elegant and learned and but not so  knowing that it ever stops being fun.We are so glad to welcome NITE JEWEL back to Manchester.





Never shy to collaborate, having worked in the past  with Butchy Fuego, Linda Perhacs, Ariel Pink, Julia Holter and Cole MGN among others, most recently she's been working with NICHOLAS KRGOVICH (see Frank Ocean cover above) who joins her on this tour, playing in the NITE JEWEL band and also as main support. Perhaps best known for his wrk in NO KIDS, P:ANO and collaborations with MOUNT EERIE, KRGOVICH has recently started to record and perform under his given name and has a string of releases including a 7" on P W Elverum and Sun (video below) and a new covers LP called 'REAL LIFE'.

Opening proceedings is ALDOUS RH, one of the best dancers in town. A contribution to BIRTHDAY TAPES is forthcoming as are, probably, a string of classic albums to be given away online and hopefully released on traditional formats too.



See you there yeah

THREE NEW POSTERS!

as the poster (below) implies we will be playing records every monday upstairs in Trof, Fallowfield. Last week, as well as plenty to feast your ears on they were also serving up free food from their new menu. WOW! What'll happen this week? 

If you read this poster  you will see that we are playing records the next night, Tuesday too. This time at the DEAF INSTITUTE with the amazing NITE JEWEL; probably the only band in the world that could have records out on paw tracks and Italians Do It Better. Occupying some weird nether world between your worst nightmares and your sweetest dreams, conjuring the ghosts of disco past and future. When Ariel Pink said that his aim for the Haunted Graffiti project was to make the saddest, most nostalgia laden music of all time, if he'd also wanted to make people dance to it and was, in fact a woman rather than dressing like one he'd sound like NITE JEWEL. Seriously recommend your attendance.

Then in a couple weeks, just a few days before the SIC ALPS show, our bros Hyacinth Girl managed to succeed where we failed and hook up a show for DIE! DIE! DIE! who are from DUNEDIN  and one of the most exciting bands around.  

P.S.The new Beat UNhappening mix 'Living It Down' is now very much downloadable, as are the other three
