Heir To The Tone: April 2010

If you haven't bought Volume Two already, go get it, what are you playing at?

Cate le Bon

So NYLON have a feature about Cate le Bon here . Free download too, so check eeettt.

.

HOLE playing at VENUE. no not some shitty tribute band called UP YOUR HOLE or anything like that. the real Hole played at the Venue in New Cross, a place now sadly overrun by degenerate chavs and baked-in-makeup whores.

.

LOLZ

Chapin Sisters

I feel like a fool for knowing about these before. They're supporting She & Him at KoKo next week.

.

B Z

I found this weird. I know they're "human beings just like us" and all but really? beyonce and jay z just hanging out and watching bands? surrre bruthhherrr

.

can't get this song out of my head, and it's so nice and summery too.

.

yeah we're all sick of blah and the blahs bands but give these a listen.

.

Yuck

Have you downloaded Yuck's new single yet? It's on their blog here for FREE

Sky

I'm listening to this every couple of days, but I'm still not sure whether Sky Ferreira has actually delivered on the hype. Everything about this song just makes me want to scream 'yes we know you're only 17 and oh you're really scandalous aren't you? Yes, you're just going to shock everyone with your shocking behaviour.' When in reality, what 17 year olds aren't going to clubs and getting pissed all the time? Might have to file Sky along with the Peaches Geldofs and the Ke$has of the world, but I'm going to hold out hope and keep listening. When's the second single out?

Watch the '17' video

.

whats with the dodgy new vocal at the end though?

Zine

work on the new Heir To The Tone zine will begin in around three weeks. Current ideas are circulating around these artists:

Giana Factory
IO Echo
Benin City
Gaggle
Babe Shadow
Darwin Deez
Sky Ferreira
Afrikan Boy
Chew Lips
Josh Weller
Bonnie McKee
Yuck
Egyptian Hip Hip

The main premise is Music Heritage. The theme draws on inspiration, musical hierarchy, progressions in sound, heroes, the midas touch, first buys, first gigs, musical family trees, memories, reminiscing, discovering, and listening in awe...

If you are interested in contributing towards the zine such as album reviews, live reviews, artwork, photography etc (including, but not necessarily linked to the artists above) please email: kellyandicecream@hotmail.co.uk x

Scissor Sisters are back. Dungarees are back too, surely not just a coincidence?They've been M.I.A for so long but finally there is a new album track up on their site here. The albums out late June but going by these 6 minutes it's going to be okay to wait patiently.
