Synth-pop band CHVRCHES‘ Scottish frontwoman LAUREN
MAYBERRY released her solo debut album VICIOUS CREATURE
last week.

NME wrote: “Mayberry is indeed on her own path of solo discovery, and that
leaves plenty of room to be excited about what lies on the road ahead as she
digs even deeper into her solo artistry.”

To TUTV’s ears, the record’s stand-out track – one of this year’s
best singles – is SOMETHING IN THE AIR. A vocal tour de force.

Last week she performed the solid gold
pop pearl on the Jimmy Kimmel Live Show.

Astounding.

LIAM GALLAGHER & JOHN SQUIRE Live On Amercican Telly With ‘I’M A WHEEL’ From Their Brand New LP

Posted on by JL

10 April 2024

Manchester‘s superstar duo LIAM GALLAGHER and The Stone Roses‘ JOHN SQUIRE unleashed their much-anticipated self-titled, collaborative at the beginning of last
month.

It’s a retro psych blues record stuffed with catchy tunes. Nothing more, nothing less,
but oh so laid-backly addictive. Must have played it for about 100 times so far. It topped the UK Album Charts.

The duo played a handful of gigs in Europe/UK, and flew over the ocean yesterday
to perform on The Tonight Show With Jim Fallony. Surprisingly, they didn’t go for one of the two singles, but for an energetic rendition of mid-tempo blues rock burner I’M A WHEEL.

Posted on by JL

Daily noise that works faster than any stimulant

Crooner, balladeer, countryman, poet, and seasoned songsmith
JEFF TWEEDY and his band WILCO released their 13th LP, named
Cousin, in their 31-year career, two weeks ago.

It’s promo time now.

Yesterday they made an appearance on The Jimmy Kimmel
Live Show. They played laid-back country musing EVICTED,
one of the several moody pieces on the LP.

Ideal tune to wake up to slowly after a rough night.

THE WAEVE – Graham Coxon (Blur) And Rose Elinor Dougall – Kill It On ‘Later With Jools’

Posted on by JL

British duo THE WAEVE – aka Graham Coxon (Blur) and songstress
Rose Elinor Dougall – uncaged their first collaborative, self-titled album
last February. It got a 80% score on Metacritic (based on 10 reviews).

One of the singles, named KILL ME AGAIN is Turn Up The Volume‘s standout
favourite. It’s a riveting, promptly infectious groove propelled by a pounding
synth/bass riff, spiced with Coxon on saxophone and mesmerizing (duet) vocals.

The duo played it last weekend (along with the mesmeric piece Can I Call You)
on the famous British music show ‘Later… with Jools Holland.’

BIG THIEF Played New Staggering Unreleased Song ‘VAMPIRE EMPIRE’ On American TV Show

Posted on by JL

About a year ago Brooklyn’s folk pop-rockers BIG THIEF released their 5th album,
titled Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You. An enthralling 20-track record
with Adrienne Lenker‘s angelic voice as the heroine in the middle.

The band is on tour now and as they regularly do, they try out new songs live, before
recording them in the studio. One of them is a pearl called VAMPIRE EMPIRE which
they play for a while now on stage.

The Late Show with Colbert invited them to play that unreleased new one before their
audience. Wow! I was immediately struck by the energy and vitality of Vampire Empire
and its powerful performance. A staggering new gem by a staggering band.
