The album certainly balances the optimistic tracks with more melancholic, introspective songs like Peaceful The World Lays Me Down.

Charlie: Absolutely. Theoretically you could put Five Years Time and Peaceful back to back and think it was two different bands. But we worked really hard to make the songs linked thematically.

So if you just take Five Years Time you might get a quote like "Blue Peter Pogues" - but if you hear Peaceful and get the cross-reference of the two, then you get a picture of what the band is.

So if you absolutely had to compare your music to a children's TV show and another band, what would you say?

Charlie: We could have a really dark band, like Slipknot

Urby: And Superted. We are the Superted Slipknot!

I would describe them as "The Feeling taken to even higher heights of faggotry"

They aren't as bad as the hooisers, but they are more mediocre. Medio-core. The singer's voice is very dislikeable. I think I'm going to watch a few clips of Dick Powell & Ruby Keeler to push this shit out of my mind.

Their name is a marriage of the title of one of the band's favorite films, "The Squid and the Whale," and the name of the director (Noah Baumbach).

music is really obsolete as a genuine for of expression isn't it

latebloomer, Saturday, 12 July 2008 07:53 (seventeen years ago)

Their name is a marriage of the title of one of the band's favorite films, "The Squid and the Whale," and the name of the director (Noah Baumbach). They are avid fans of the film director Wes Anderson, who helped produce "The Squid and the Whale" alongside Noah Baumbach. Their e-mails, and many of their MySpace blog posts, are signed "Sic Transit Gloria," a memorable line from the Wes Anderson film "Rushmore." It is a latin phrase that literally translates into english as "glory fades," and was uttered by Max Fischer, a character in the film that was played by Jason Schwartzman.

abanana, Saturday, 12 July 2008 21:56 (seventeen years ago)

I think when you hit your mid-twenties and most of new bands out there are either your age or a bit younger, it's harder to tolerate their twattishness and give them the benefit of the doubt.

Bodrick III, Saturday, 12 July 2008 22:08 (seventeen years ago)

electricsound, Sunday, 13 July 2008 23:20 (seventeen years ago)

To the man with the gelled fringe on the tube...
Current mood: indifferent

A drunk man in a dodgy oversized blue t shirt and with his fringe gelled to his forehead came up to me on the tube. He stank of beer and told me trash pussies were 'shit last year at reading'. I found this bizarre, not because of his interesting hair style, but as we never played reading festival, and never intended to.
I have also noticed promoters seem to have no qualms with sticking 'trash pussies' alongside the other names on their flyers, when we have not heard of these nights and have never agreed to play them.
This is starting to bother me. It nags at me, and seems strange and uncalled for.
We started Trash Pussies as a way to have fun in clubs doing something other than getting pissed and lairy- ie- something productive and fun and interactive. And also because we both hugely enjoy music, always have, always will.
Being a part of Trash Pussies has opened us up to so many new genres of music and artists we probably wouldn't have been interested in before, and its always fun to discover new things. We don't take ourselves seriously, we both have no intention of being 'djs' for a living, as we both have other jobs.
I don't understand why people jump to conclusions at something that is in every way productive. If someone hears a set and hears something new and enjoys it, that is an honourable thing.
We hope people come to gigs to enjoy music just as we play gigs to enjoy music.
We don't see djing as an 'art' or ambition, just as a way to have fun and play music we love and believe in. We've gotten better every gig, practising to the point where we are now vey confident- and would like to silence the again, bizarre rumours that we dj off ipods as, a) neither of us have one and b) we use vinyl and cd. We have met some amazing people along the way, and discovered some amazing music, from the favelas of brazil to the ghettotech clubs of new york.
I've also started a new dj collective- the New Testament Party Crew (www.myspace.com/thenewtestamentpartycrew) which is letting me dj music I probably wouldn't with trash pussies (Fifi has a stubborn streak), an altogether more eclectic and broad sound from different genres ranging from baltimore club to dancehall to angolan hip hop. This again is done out for pleasure, rather than a way to 'prove myself' as a dj. Listen to the mixes on our page, a product of frederick blood-royales toil.
I wish people would listen to the music we play before judging us.
I wish that the man on the tube with the gelled fringe could have known this.

Tracksuit Party, Monday, 14 July 2008 07:55 (seventeen years ago)

Fair play for the Trash pussies' message.

Fact is, there are so many chancers around, it basically comes down to how much background and interest yon chancers have. (Including them)

Would a fantastic set played off an ipod be better than a lameness done for real? No of course not. Is a massively eclectic set better than a 'familiars and favourites' one? not necessarily.

Is the success factor down to how many removed you are from Bob Geldof?

(jury is out on that one, but not for long...)

Mark G, Monday, 14 July 2008 08:31 (seventeen years ago)

Unfortunately they call themselves the Trash Pussies so that invalidates anything they do, say or think.

Dingbod Kesterson, Monday, 14 July 2008 09:40 (seventeen years ago)

Presumably a reference to Fred and Judy Vermorel's "Cash Pussies"...

Mark G, Monday, 14 July 2008 09:50 (seventeen years ago)

See, I wouldn't go to the places they would play anyway. So it doesn't really encroach on my life. In fact, I'm pretty sure most of us have never heard of most of these bands anyway, and this is the only exposure we've had to them, basically we're actively seeking out being annoyed. Yes, I find these guys irritating, but I never woulda found out about them if I hadn't clicked on this thread, and I'll probably live happily ever after never having to hear their music ever. Which might be great, I dunno, but I highly doubt it, and I still haven't listened to the El Guincho album properly yet, so I'll wait till then at least.

VeronaInTheClub, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 10:18 (seventeen years ago)

You know, back in the day there were loads of bands who'd make a single and it'd go round the radio stations in the hope that they'd get play.

It wasn't until they did that the record company would put actual money into promoting the band with photos and press and so on.

Now because it's cheap to do so, every band has a backlog of promo shots, videos, archive footage of their first gig, the lot.

There's not enough land for this landfill!

Mark G, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 10:19 (seventeen years ago)

I don't know, I'm laughing at this stuff too, but I actually get a kick out of these goofy photos. I like it when a band takes it out there and tries to get away with it, and it's no shame to fail. Better than four blokes against a wall pulling a tinny or something. Here's feedtime, a very great Australian rock band:

http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/160/415884.jpg

And you can say, yes, they look pretty cool, definitely not idiots or wankers, and in fact they exemplify their no-frills musical approach very well - but it's not really as in yer face as their music is, not even close - their music is a thousand times more white-knuckled than that. Lots of hardcore bands have this problem when shooting their shots. They don't want to look like dickheads, so they underdo it. The feetime shot is a forgettable band shot that undersells the power of their music. They might have glammed it up a bit, given it a bit of the ol' Motorhead showmanship, why the hell not? So I'm half and half. It's sometimes good to go the hack on a band shot even if you end up overdoing it and looking stupid.

moley, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 10:47 (seventeen years ago)

They need bigger photos.

the next grozart, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 11:49 (seventeen years ago)

(x-post) I think even with the poor range of examples on offer for an 80's band, you can get the gist. If not, here's something similar, but bigger, from Mortal Sin.

Different band, bigger photo, same observation. Incidentally, I suspect that shot was taken just down the road from where I live. Nice river eh? Care to swim in it?

We neede photos of bands rockin it outrageous style. But those bands have to be rockin it. Canonical example: Queen.

dumb pseud (some dude), Monday, 1 December 2008 19:34 (seventeen years ago)

I think when you hit your mid-twenties and most of new bands out there are either your age or a bit younger, it's harder to tolerate their twattishness and give them the benefit of the doubt. Try growing old enough to be their parents. You get all "take that stupid hat off, get your head out of your ass and NO YOU CAN"T BORROW THE CAR."

Band devastated by guitar theft

The band are on a 12-date UK tour
Indie-folk band Noah And The Whale have vowed to continue a UK tour despite having all of their equipment stolen from a car park in Manchester.
The gear - including vintage guitars, brass instruments and the drum kit - were taken from a car park near the Club Academy venue on Tuesday night.
Lead singer Charlie Fink said he was "unbelievably devastated" but vowed to carry on with borrowed instruments.
Greater Manchester Police said it had yet to receive a report of the theft.
Band members are still trying to put an estimated value on the haul, which was locked in a trailer.
But they hope the unusual nature of the equipment - which includes a number of left-handed guitars - will help track it down.

Fink said he was particularly upset about losing his guitar, which he used on latest album The First Days Of Spring.
He said: "None of it's about the money, it's genuinely irreplaceable stuff.
"There aren't replacements of these items. My Fender Jaguar 1963, for example, I've had that for ages and my entire sound is based on that guitar.
"It's very rare, I've only found one of those guitars. But even if there was a duplicate it wouldn't ever sound the same.
"It's hard to explain the relationship you have with a guitar."
The trailer also contained a left-handed Gibson Les Paul Gold Top Deluxe and a left-handed Fender Telecaster in sunburst colour.
Theft 'devastating'
A Gibson Goldtone GA-30 RVS Amp, a Ludwig silver/white oyster finish drum kit and a Fender 66 Precision Bass were also stolen.
Fink added: "The most frustrating thing is whoever's done this has no understanding of what he's done. He has no idea of what it all means to us.
"We load up our own stuff, we carry our own gear. We do it with all our own money - it's devastating."
Fink hopes to borrow equipment for the rest of the tour, which takes them to the US after playing 12 more UK dates.
"We're not going to cancel any shows, we'll find another way to do it," he added.
Anyone who knows the whereabouts of the equipment is asked to contact the band through their website or MySpace page.

New album's actually pretty good. A complete change of tack to sleek 80s rock (Full Moon Fever would be a decent comparison point). Never liked them before, but starting to admire Charlie Fink's willingness to do something different every time he goes in a studio, regardless of the fact that the people who liked the previous album will be baffled: each has been very different to the last.
