Yay! A new Bomb The Music Industry! song/video!

Bomb The Music Industry! – “Everybody That You Love” from Bryan Schlam on Vimeo.

So, last night I went to see The Cortège play their first gig, at the Proud Galleries in Camden.

Firstly, an odd venue for gigs and the staff seemed to think everyone there for the gig were likely to be knifing people or something. Weird. Anyway, The Cortège were excellent. For those that don’t know, they feature Barry from In Search of Apollo (Jon and Steve’s old band) and they’re well worth checking out. They’re really fucking tight already and have some killer songs. Shame that they were sandwiched between two god awful indie bands.

The first band managed to sound like some terrible school Razorlight cover band playing their first gig at a talent show. This wasn’t helped by the fact that the venue looked like a scout hut or ymca, albeit with a noncey bar, rude staff, expensive drinks and a wholly unnecessary smoke machine that covered the entire room in smoke. The second band, who were on after The Cortege, were much more professional than the other indie dross before them, but equally as shit. Their singer looked like an indie Gary Barlow and their bass player looked like a rapist. Odd, but strangely entertaining!

So yeah, everyone go and check out The Cortège:

and here’s a rehearsal video:

Our good friend Dave Hughes has just released a new EP and it’s ace. It’s seven new songs (6 originals and one cover) and they make up the demos for his bands next release, recorded on an old tape player in one take.

Head here to have a listen/buy for the bargain price of £2 (or more if you’re being generous):

So, it had to happen eventually. Even to me. Ladies and Gentlemen of the interwebs, I present to you, my very first fan video. Thanks Jamie!

Not music related, but I was just reminded of the awesomeness of Lee and Herring, and Kevin Eldon. Ah, it takes me back… Enjoy:
