The Primitives - Rattle My Cage
http://the-primitives.co.uk/
http://www.fortunapop.co.uk
With their first new recordings since 1992, The Primitives are back with a fantastic new record, the Never Kill A Secret EP to be released on Fortuna POP! in March 2011. With a new lease of life after successfully touring the UK in 2010, the band decided to write and record some new material. The four tracks on the new EP include the fuzzified girlpop stomper of the lead track “Rattle My Cage” and the cute little Velvets-y heart-melter “Never Kill A Secret”, along with two covers, Suzi Jane Hokom’s Lee Hazlewood-penned “Need All the Help I can Get” and Toni Basil’s Northern Soul classic “Breakaway”. March also sees the band embark on a full UK tour.

Wed 16 Mar – UK – Southampton – Joiners Arms
Thu 17 Mar – UK – Cambridge – Haymakers
Fri 18 Mar – UK – Bristol – Start the Bus
Sat 19 Mar – UK – York – Fibbers

Piney Gir Country Roadshow 'Lucky Me' Official Promo Video
Valentines Day saw the release of the second single "Lucky Me" from The Piney Gir Country Roadshow's latest album Jesus Wept plus it’s backed (in a digital way…you see) with an exclusive UK release of Piney’s desert-rock reworking of the Billy Idol classic "White Wedding" and the original demo version of "Lucky Me" recorded live at Truck Studios with an unlikely band of merry pranksters.
The lovely new video for "Lucky Me" is now available. Country Roadshow guitarist Garo Nahoulakian made the puppets, Jeremy Fowler filmed/edited the video, Jiro Nahoulakian, Garo and Piney were the puppeteers.
The Piney Gir Country Roadshow headline the Country Girl All-Dayer at the Lexington in London on 20th March.
- Sunday, March 20 Country Girl All-Dayer - The Piney Gir Country Roadshow, The Cedars, Adeline Vesta, The Werewandas, Eliza Newman 5pm £7, adv £5
An all-dayer featuring dulcet-toned Kansas vocalist Piney Gir and her Country Roadshow.
Support from the UK based Alt-Americana quartet, The Cedars with soaring vocals, infectious rhythms and blasts of slide guitar and banjo. Plying tales of lost love, revenge and rural homicide, The Cedars manage to straddle the divide between the dancehalls of the 20's and 30's and what's going on in the scene right now.
Adeline Vesta play folk-rock, indie and alt-country with Sarah from The Research and Go Team! percussionist Chi
The Werewandas play harmonious country-billy indie-garage foot-tapping stompers.
Eliza Newman is an Icelandic violinist, ukelele and piano player, and is also a trained opera singer (formerly of Bellatrix) who'll play some ukulele accompanied quirky folk-pop.
plus DJing from Radio 6/ The Other Woman's Ruth Barnes plus Amy Ashworth and Amanda.
BEARSUIT - WHEN WILL I BE QUEEN (OFFICIAL VIDEO)
As Royal wedding fever grips the nation, dance-punk five-piece Bearsuit releases their new single When Will I Be Queen? on February 28. But an ode for Kate Middleton this ain’t. Unless you’d find “no more waity” boozing it up with broken heels and smudged mascara to a Tech Noir soundtrack of filthy bass, killer beats, schizophrenic vocals and sinister synths on her hen night.
he new single comes ahead of the band’s eagerly anticipated album The Phantom Forest on March 14 on Fortuna POP! The 12-track long-player heralds a fierce new sound for the band, who have swapped violins, flutes and horns for dirty synths, urgent guitars and infectious beats in the light of a dramatic line-up change. With a sprinkling of sonic dust from big-time producer Gareth Parton (The Go Team, Breeders, Foals) the band have created a perfectly off-the-wall pop masterpiece.
The band are heading to SXSW later this month and have been raising funds via the website http://www.wefund.co.uk/project/bearsuit-sxsw. For £1000 they'll even change their band name, to the name of their sponsor for a month.

The Singing Loins - Stuff
The Singing Loins are back with their eleventh album, due for release on the 7 February, proving that genius is nothing more than gritted teeth and enduring patience. ‘STUFF’ (Damgood365CD) is the 11th offering of bare-knuckle folk from the Medway Delta. Their song writing is steeped in the British & European traditions of Punk, Folk, Music Hall, Character, Chorus, Cabaret, Melodrama & Buffoonery. Ever enduring outsiders, it’s likely they are now the world’s longest serving, truly amateur, original musical group.
Here's a video of one of the tracks from Stuff called "Where's My Machine Gun"
