Knows. It. ││ │ ││ │ Straight outta Newport, Goldie Lookin' Chain have infected ││ │ the UK with their own peculiar brand of humour over the last ││ │ few months. Like The Darkness before them, they're the ││ │ underground name that's come from nowhere and destined for ││ │ ubiquity. ││ │ ││ │ Often touted as a 'comedy' band, the band are serious about ││ │ smoking draw and making you laugh. The sometime 23-strong ││ │ hip-hop outfit first came to public attention when they ││ │ appeared in Heat magazine, claiming they had collaborated ││ │ with Charlotte Church on a track entitled 'Stick It In ││ │ Cider.' After a number of albums were exchanged between ││ │ mates around South Wales on CDR, coupled with the massive ││ │ success of their website, the GLC soon gained a sizeable ││ │ cult following. Their first live gig at the legendary Clwb ││ │ Ifor Bach in Cardiff sold out immediately, and people even ││ │ rushed the fire escapes to try to gain entry. Twelve months ││ │ later in February this year, they head-lined the 1500 ││ │ capacity Newport Live Arena after supporting The Darkness, ││ │ The Streets and Super Furry Animals. All this without a ││ │ record deal! ││ │ ││ │ So what's all the fuss about? Why are new fans Snow Patrol ││ │ taking them on tour and why have they just recorded a tune ││ │ with Super Furries? Well if you haven't heard any of their ││ │ music, tunes such as 'Your Mother's Got A Penis' and 'Half ││ │ Man Half Machine,' then you've missed out on the funniest ││ │ thing this side of Tom Jones' big, fat orange face. Soon to ││ │ be signed to a major, they probably best describe themselves ││ │ on their website: www.youknowsit.co.uk (be warned: this site ││ │ contains strong language - the BBC is not responsible for ││ │ it's content) ││ │ ││ │ That's why we've let them take over the Radio 1 airwaves for ││ │ an hour, assaulting your ear drums with knob gags, obscene ││ │ language and their choice of tunes. ││ │ ││ │ If you knows you're safe and fancy checking out the GLC live ││ │ experience, the Draw-Based Confusion Tour calls at the ││ │ following venues: ││ │ ││ │ Gloucester Guildhall (1 April) ││ │ Cardiff CIA w/ Super Furry Animals (2) ││ │ Middlesbrough Empire (3) ││ │ Glasgow Cathouse (4) ││ │ Leeds Cockpit (5) ││ │ Leicester Charlotte (6) ││ │ Bristol Bierkeller (7) ││ │ London Carling Hammersmith Apollo w/ Super Furry Animals (8) ││ │ Exeter Cavern (10) ││ │ Manchester University (13) ││ │ Oxford Zodiac (14) ││ │ London Mean Fiddler (15) ││ │ Tunbridge Wells Forum (16) ││ │ Birmingham Carling Academy 2 (17) ││ │ Sheffield Fez Club (19) ││ │ Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms (20) ││ │ Reading Fez (21) ││ │ Norwich Arts Centre (22) ││ │ Nottingham Rock City (24) ││ │ ││ │──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────││ │ Zero 7 ││ │ ││ │ Zero 7's new album ' When It Falls' was released on March ││ │ 1st 2004. The first single to be lifted from the album was ' ││ │ Home' released in February. ││ │ ││ │ Zero 7 are two guys from North London - Sam Hardaker and ││ │ Henry Binns. Having created a name for themselves with some ││ │ select remixes they found vocalists Sia Furler, Sophie ││ │ Barker and Mozez and teamed up to create their debut album ││ │ Simple Things. The album reached platinum status in the UK ││ │ and has sold over a million copies world wide and includes ││ │ the singles Destiny, In The Waiting Line and Distractions. ││ │ ││ │ Zero 7 are currently on tour... ││ │ March 11th - Belfast Mandella Hall ││ │ March 12th - Dublin Olympia ││ │ March 15th - Bristol Colston Hall ││ │ March 16th - Southampton Guildhall ││ │ March 18th Sheffield Octagon ││ │ March 19th - Manchester Academy ││ │ March 20th - Glasgow Academy ││ │ March 22nd - Birmingham Academy ││ │ March 23rd - Norwich UEA ││ │ March 25th - Brighton Dome ││ │ March 26th - London Brixton Academy ││ │ March 27th - London Brixton Academy ││ │ ││ │──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────││ │ Auf der Maur ││ │ ││ │ The new band formed by Melissa Auf Der Maur (ex-Hole / ││ │ Smashing Pumpkins) have already had Top 40 success with ││ │ debut single 'Followed The Waves' and their self-titled ││ │ album. Here's Melissa's biog - in her own words! ││ │ ││ │ In 1994 I left my home in Montreal to join a big American ││ │ band. My official life in music had begun. ││ │ ││ │ I played bass in Hole for an intense 5 years, and then ││ │ joined Smashing Pumpkins to support their last album and ││ │ farewell tour. They were incredible years of my life ││ │ educational, like a Bachelor's degree in rock followed by a ││ │ Master's. All of which led me here: Auf Der Maur, my first ││ │ solo album. ││ │ ││ │ The recording process started in March 2001, but the ││ │ songwriting took place over the last decade. For creative ││ │ reasons, it was important for me to do this on my own, ││ │ before even entertaining the thought of a record company. So ││ │ I got a plan together and spent every penny I've made. I ││ │ just needed to make my album with no thought of how it would ││ │ get out there. ││ │ ││ │ I love music and I invited all of my friends down to ││ │ celebrate it with me. Music to me is about collaborating. ││ │ There are a lot of musicians with whom I worked on this ││ │ album: Chris Goss, who produced Queens of the Stone Age; ││ │ Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age and Brandt Bjork, ││ │ who were both in Kyuss (I think I was their biggest fan); ││ │ Eric Erlandson, with whom I played in Hole; James Iha, with ││ │ whom I played in Smashing Pumpkins; and Steve Durand and ││ │ Jordan Zadorozny, my original bandmates from my first band, ││ │ Tinker. ││ │ ││ │ This wasn't about just working with someone because I loved ││ │ their musicianship. This was about musicians in my life in ││ │ one form or another for over a decade, people who knew and ││ │ were sensitive to the fact that I had spent time in someone ││ │ else's musical world and wanted to build my own. They ││ │ supported me with their generous time and talent as ││ │ brotherly musicians. ││ │ ││ │ I wrote the majority of the songs, but I consciously made ││ │ room for two other songwriters: Josh Homme and Steve Durand. ││ │ Josh is one of my dream musicians and a complete ││ │ inspiration. Steve is my best friend and from my first band. ││ │ These guys represented my roots and my dreams. ││ │ ││ │ In the studio I ran a really tight ship. With my musical ││ │ responsibilities and a tight budget I had to crack the whip. ││ │ I would work with a drummer, lay down a foundation for a ││ │ song, then put its basic structure down -- guitar, bass, ││ │ vocal -- and then have these amazing musicians whom I ││ │ cherish in my life come in. I would designate them to ││ │ specific areas to put down the top layers, building the ││ │ ornate wall of sound I crave! ││ │ ││ │ This album has a big, sweeping sound. Chris Goss and I ││ │ produced it together and he was more of a musician/band ││ │ member than a producer. We recorded "Followed the Waves" as ││ │ a trial, to see if we really wanted to work together and it ││ │ was so laid back I didn't even think it'd make it on the ││ │ record. The only players on the original version of that ││ │ song were me, Josh Homme and Kyuss drummer Brandt Bjork. The ││ │ direction I gave Brandt was to just play it like Kyuss's ││ │ Blues For The Red Sun. So here we were recording the first ││ │ song for my first solo project for a potential first album ││ │ and I essentially had Kyuss as my backing band. Magical. ││ │ ││ │ With the closing chapter of the Smashing Pumpkins in 2000, I ││ │ took almost two years off after touring the world non-stop ││ │ for literally six years. I needed time to recuperate and ││ │ figure out what music and life meant to me. With this album ││ │ I've rediscovered them both and made my dream record in the ││ │ process.
