We Endorse Kids Love Lies

Last year we teamed up with Doug at the now defunct Strange Loop Studios to create a website called My Live Session, the idea was that we would present our radio show "earwax" as a live webcast and we would feature a band playing a 30 minute set. They were great fun why they lasted and the first band we featured were South Londoner's Kids Love Lies, a band whom we featured more on the earwax podcast in 2008then any other. On Earwax we played tracks from their demo and also their self released single Switch Off.

Since that session last October the band have gone from strength to releasing the single Count In My Head, gaining exposure in the NME, picking up airplay and being chosento be on the bill at Radio One's Big Weekend. Their second single for Cherryade records is being released this October and to accompany it, they have made this rather fun horror inspired video:

Propaganda Playlist 20th August

On this show joining us in the studio were supposed to be Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring, their debut album "How I Wasted My Youth" is one of our favourites of the year and we all set for them to come in talk us through some tracks on the album and also play us some songs that mean a lot to them. But alas with a few hours before the show they asked us to postspone it. This left us in a bit of hole, but we managed to put together a fairly shambolic show and this is the playlist for it.

Delighted Of Tonbridge Wells

On Sunday, we travelled to deepest darkest Kent to a venue just outside Tonbridge Wells called the High Rocks to see British Sea Power and Tom Williams and the Boat. It was all-dayer which started at around 1pm; being lazy we managed to get to the venue about six and a half hours later. The venue is a converted Tudor barn which is used more these days for holding wedding functions hence the bar staff wearing tuxedos which is always a nice touch.

At Propaganda we are big fans of Tom Williams & The Boat and this was our first chance to see them live. Describing themselves as anti-folk their sound is bigger than that, the six piece comprise of guitars, violins, harmonica, piano and saxophone and Chris T-T played on piano on their last single 90mph. Their set was a very enjoyable 30 minutes; we recommend that you check them out:

Then we had to all vacate the building into another bar whilst the venue was shut for British Sea Power to create their unique stage set, in reality this was just so they could have a soundcheck. Because I don’t think it would have taken an hour to stick the few bits of foliage around the stage. The venue was re-opened before the soundcheck was finished and we had half an hour of the band finishing their soundcheck. There is nothing more boring than watching soundchecks I’ve seen to many over the years.

When they eventually started they delivered a storming set, it’s the first time I’ve ever seen them live and I’ve got into the band pretty late after not really liking the first album but live the early tracks seem almost primal and the later tracks like Waving Flags and No Lucifer sounded massive surely written with stadiums in mind. Even the snare drum falling apart couldn’t bring a halt to the gig which finished with an impressive climbing display.

On the way home we managed to just miss a badger on the road which seemed a very British Sea Power thing to see.
