Lifeguards

Robert Pollard and Doug Gillard of Guided By Voices are LIFEGUARDS. The two first worked together outside of the GBV realm on the 1999 fan-classic Speak Kindly of Your Volunteer Fire Dept, which included "Do Something Real" the anthemic theme to Steven Soderbergh's film Full Frontal. Their debut release as Lifeguards, Mist King Urth, emerged in 2002 on Pollard's own Fading Captain Series label to fervent fan approval. In 2010 Pollard and Gillard reconvened for the first time since the end of GBV in 2004 to create the astounding follow up: Waving at the Astronauts. Gillard wrote and recorded 10 complex and beautiful instrumentals at home then sent the finished compositions off to Pollard who graced the tracks with some of the most unforgettable melodies and strangely poetic lyrics of his career. In May 2010, Pollard recorded his vocals with Gillard and Travis Harrison at Serious Business Music in NYC where drums and overdubs were added and the record was mixed.

From the ragged and triumphant rock masterpiece "Paradise Is Not So Bad," to the chugging "Sexless Auto" and the off-kilter ramble of "What Am I," this is the latest gem from a songwriting team whose limits are larger than any arena you might try and squeeze them into.

Well what can I say, Liverpool, the mighty reds, are in the champions league final for the second time in three years. After a tense, nervous, nail biting 210 minutes of football Liverpool beat Chelsea in a semi final for the third year in a row. Theres only one word that can describe their performance, immense. Roll on 23rd May.

Talking of Liverpool tonights band reminds me, among other bands, of one of Liverpool's best bands of the 80's Pink Military...

The Happy Hollows
Genre: Indie / Experimental / Showtunes
From: Los Angeles, California, United States

As mad as a bag of badgers, as vampy as Dracula's stag do and as perky as puppy on speed, The Happy Hollows play jarring, jangling, raucous and utterly spellbinding post punk indie pop. Like The Dresden Dolls if they'd never seen Cabaret, The Wedding Present with Karen O on vocals (listen to 'Meteors' which sounds like something off 'George Best') or a less caustic and world weary Sonic Youth.
