Gramatik vs. gossip dimestore diamond remix
Songs from the acclaimed Standing In The Way of Control album also feature strongly, including the captivatingly intense ‘Listen Up’. As such, much of the set is given over to songs from the album, with ‘Heavy Cross’, ‘Dimestore Diamond’ and ‘Love Long Distance’ going over particularly well. On this tour, the band are celebrating the ten year anniversary of their Music For Men album, the second released in their disco-punk period. She chats with the audience throughout the bands set and, recognising the commitment to the tour of many in the audience, gives a lot of shout outs to those regulars she spots in the crowd, especially her “Stoke-On-Trent family”. Beth Ditto, resplendent in a pink frock, hair neatly bobbed, is in her element. The crowd are more than ready for them and they greet the band with a roar of approval. The venue has filled up considerably by the time headliners Gossip walk onto the stage a little after 9pm. Once the tour is over, it’s very much a case of going back to London and back to their day jobs, so they are enjoying the opportunity while it lasts. Whatever Meggie Brown’s pop manifesto is, the entire band are clearly having a great time and giving it their all. The variety of musical stylings on display feels like a nod to the mid 1980s period of musical experimentation, whereas Meggie herself bounds across the stage like Damon Albarn circa Modern Life Is Rubbish. Their music takes in a variety of styles, signposting everything from punk thrash to ska to Housemartins esque pop soul and the resulting sound feels new and refreshing while also feeling as though it comes from another era entirely. They are ebullient and bouncy throughout their set tonight and it’s clear that they’ve gained fans amongst the audience, who are charmed by the bands enthusiasm and exuberance. Support act Meggie Brown and her band have proved themselves to be playful foils to Gossip’s slick disco punk revival on this tour. Plus what would an adventurous radio show be without some sitting dances from Senibua Kei Nadi Entertainment Group Of Nadi Village from Fiji? Marcelle unpacks them as well.Cazz Blase and Melanie Smith are wowed by a resurgent Gossip at Manchester Academy. Be it the techno from Berlin, the weirdness from outer space courtesy of Hamburg, records traded with other artists or those wonderful African LP's bought at a Brooklyn flea market, Marcelle plays them with great delight and enthusiasm.Ĭombined with some requests from listeners and the monthly Look Back Bore series, this brings us artists like Lyacos Pictus, Filastine, Maÿd Hubb, Lee van Dowski, Stump, Sa Bat' Machines, Zea, Moderat, The Ex, Sir Warrior & His Oriental Bothers International Band, Karl Reger & Odo Warth, Jazzsteppa, Heavens End, Hells Hills, Ya-Mouro and Sensational. Marcelle unpacks her record bags brought back from amongst others Berlin, New York and Hamburg, and plays some of the vinyl purchased abroad. A band who just so happen are having their LP launch Party at the Ruby Lounge in Manchester on the 13th with the Jeffmeister himself behind the decks Return visits from Weedy Dave, Dihedral and Red Trees from the excellent 'Playing for the Owls' compilation CD rub shoulders this months releases by Fists, Violet Violet and Gabrielles Wish.
