Part 29 of the ever evolving ORG-AN-ISED SINGLES SERIES, hot on the tail of January’s LEAVE THE CAPITAL single. February’s release is a rather delicious left-field four tracker from SPIRITWO

You may recognize the lead track Foundling, Spiritwo’s rather warm version of the much loved CARDIACS classic, indeed that second track might be bugging you just a little, a rather different interpretation of SEPULTURA’s Inner Self (the band love it, there’s been talk of a collaboration, Spiritwo knows her metal, she’ll argue with you for hours over the merits of Carcass and Kreator). The other two tracks here are Spiritwo originals, a taste of her rather lush debut album, I think I like her originals more that her rather unique covers. 

Who is she (or are Spiritwo a band?) She has a big big underground following, shows in performance art venues, gay clubs where hoards of cross-dressing Spiritwo lookalikes in big wigs and high heels mob her 

The four track CD, part 29 of the ORG-AN-ISED SINGLES SERIES brought to you by ORG Records and ORGAN zine, is out on FEB 19th. Part 30 is on the way, first week of March, it's gonig to be a good one 
 

John on the phone......

WHAT'S THE NEWS WALTER?  HELLA - Oddball Californians Hella are about to release their first album for Ipecac. It's called 'There's No 666 In Outer Space'. I LIKE TRAINS have announced their first release and shows of 2007. “Our first appearance of the year will be at the Music in Mind Festival in Brugge, Belgium on the 23rd February.. Also playing the festival are Low and James Yorkston. Following this we shall be preparing for our first release. The Single SPENCER PERCEVAL.is the story of the only Prime Minister to be assassinated and is released in mid March through Beggars Banquet. To coincide with this release we are doing two shows. The Cockpit in Leeds on the 28th March and Dingwalls (Lock 17) in Camden, London on the 29th March.  - www.iliketrains.co.uk 65Daysofstatic return to live glitching twitching action in the Spring, with the following shows: Sheffield Plug May 7, Leeds Cockpit 8, Preston 53 Degrees 9, Nottingham Rock City 13, Birmingham Academy II 14, Cardiff Point 15, Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms 16, Exeter Phoenix 17, Reading Fez Club 18, London Camden Koko 20. A new, as yet untitled, album is due to coincide. Oceansize have posted two demos at www.myspace.com/oceansizeuk. These are 'Siberian Bullshit' and 'Red Rag To A Bear'. The Pink Fairies are very sad to announce that due to circumstances beyond their control they will not be playing the Roundhouse on January 22nd 07. Unfortunately guitarist Larry Wallis has sustained a painful back injury making playing the gig impossible.  The Pink Fairies' management  say  "Larry  has tried Osteopathy, Acupuncture, Chinese Massage and strong drugs, all to no avail. Short of sacrificing a goat and dancing in the woods, he's run out of options... "  There are no plans to reschedule in the foreseeable future so any bookings made on a credit/debit card will be fully refunded back to the card. Any cash or cheque bookings will be refunded by a cheque sent out in the next two weeks. Any queries please contact the Roundhouse box office on 0870 389 1846.

What's it all about? Simple, just good music, and the art of good video making...  Same musical policy as we've always had with Organ - the labels are just handy signposts, as long as the music and video making has that X factor - expect a healthy eye/earboiling mix of metal, punk, prog, beats, post rock, post punk, post man pat, hardcore, indie, alternative, pronk, whatever..... music and creativity for the open minded 
 

We have the following fine videos on tonight.... 

1: THE BLACK KEYS - Your Touch 
2: SILVERY - Devil In The Detail 
3: HELMET - Monochrome 
4: COLT - Devil In My Wheels 
5: RUBY SUNS - Maasai Mara 
6: DUREFORSOG - Living In Vain 
7: DRESDEN DOLLS - Backstabber 
8: BEECHER - Function Function 

Now that's what I call music TV. 

Want to get your video on? Well all you need to do is make us aware of what you have, send
us a link to your video on MySpace otr You Tube or whereever, or a VHS or a DVD and if you have something that we want to broadcast then we'll
chase you for a master broadcast format and wallop, sorted 

DEMO OF THE WEEK
LILY GREEN -  An exceptionally good female composer-singer-songwriter, sailing way above the usual. She writes in a way that combines accessible experimentation and emotive melody reminiscent of Peter Gabriel at his best, whilst her luscious and romantic voice dares to evoke comparisons to Kate Bush.  Yes, that good.  This collection of songs are vivid, extremely contemporary and timelessly atmospheric.  Soft-edged electronica, packed with ideas, is woven with acoustic and classical instruments, somehow avoiding the cliches heard from so many similar artistes. Beginning with a piano-based piece, Patience, with the feel of the Sea Nymphs/Bill Drake, this eight track demo/mini-album explores variations on a spacious sound, a folky yet dark feel, gothic in the best sense of the word. Starry Sky is simple and elegant and haunting.  Lily Green has a beautiful, easy, unforced voice that you rarely hear, matched with a genuine talent for production and composition - the kind of talent you can't put a finger on, but know when you hear it.  This is something special. www.myspace.com/lilygreenartist

ALSO CHECK OUT

SHILOE – Please Remove Your Teeth From My Neck – Another six track demo from the LA band with a rather 80’s Cure meets Fuzztones meets X set of flavours, once you let them breath and get under your skin a little they’re really rather good. www.shiloe.com

BUTCHER BLUES FOUNDATION – One – Five track demo, raw edgy blues, five slices of quality edgy raw blues delivered with attitude. Nice production, classic three piece line up, bit of a Blues Explosion, Saint Silas vibe - although they do have their more restrained melodic hard rock side, which kind of makes it hard to actually get a fix on them, this is going to need a little more investigation and a sneak in to the back of one of their gigs. I really like four of the five tracks and that raw White Stripes feel they have, that fifth is dangerously Gary Moore melodic blues metal though, watch this space – or better still, go make up your own mind – www.butcherbluesfoundation.co.uk

DIRTY PROTEST – Whole filthy bag load of festering old school proper scratchy catchy itchy street punk (and bad language), slices of ska and blasting real deal crustcore squat noise’d up brewcrew shouting and skanking. Raw d.i.y punk rock chaos and creative destruction and yes. I love it like you love the versatility of the f word - don’t f with me buddy, who the f was that, I like what the f is going on here. For people who need a fix or two of bulshit free proper punk and Citizen Fish and Doctor And The Crippens and Heresy and The Stupids and you get the picture... Seven tracks, from Ipswich if I remember rightly (I lost the letter that came with it already, hey look, things get busy around here, hundreds of things coming right at our heada every day, everyone demanding attention and throwing hissy fits when they don’t get it, not Dirty Protest, they were disturbingly polite). Go find out where they’re from via www.myspace.com/realdirtyprotest

And sometimes we have to say something....

FAHRENHEIT 451 – The Battleground Is Everywhere – Fahrenheit 451, is that where the fun had just begun? Not here, a little more substance and some roughage wouldn’t go amiss. Blustery indie rock from Essex, it arrived here with a piece of paper that made a lot of claims, unfortunately that’ve lost all the anger, danger and urgent energy of last time. For some strange reason they’ve watered it all down and opted for some lightweight passion-free Muse style cop out small town ambition-free compromise . I see they’re quoting an old Organ review on their press release. How embarrassing, they really don’t back it up here with these latest insipid gutless moves. If they weren’t quoting us then we’d have just ignored this demo, but hey, it you’re going to use our quotes you need to back it up a little more than this, it’s our reputation. Wonder what happened? Next please.... www.f451.org.uk

FURZE – UTD (Candlelight) – Black metal from Norway, Furze have always been a little more interesting/challenging/disturbing than most. What is going on this time? Woe J Reaper is back from the woods with a bizarre album title for a start, let me give it you in full; “UTD: Beneath the Odd-Edge Sounds to the Twilight Contract of the Black Fascist / The Wealth of the Penetration in the Abstract Paradigmas of Satan”. Seems the album is split in two, two different sessions. Lots of long (silly?) titles and lyrics that naturally can’t be made out, I don’t know how dubious they are and frankly I can’t be bothered to go and find out what all the deeds that grasp at the candle’s shade mean - and as for the fascist stuff, who knows what their angle is? Comic book death seems to be their only real interest, no other agenda. What we do have here is a black metal band who continue to have the musical guts to not want to sound like all the others, it is (as Celtic Frost’s Martin Aim has pointed out whilst talking about Furze) still possible to make black metal and sound unique. Extreme wasp stuck in hell’s own jam jar buzzsaw speed metal sound, avant interludes, clever music excerptions, all at breakneck speed. Sparse haunting almost lo-fi raw production that perversely adds to the quality when it really shouldn’t – odd-edge sounds indeed, organic thought of microcosm and transcendence. www.furze.net / www.candlelightrecords.co.uk

LITTLE BARRIE – Stand Your Ground (Gen) They have me a little more interested now, still sitting on the fence, but hey, at least they got me interested enough to climb up on that fence and watch now, last time I saw them I walked away. I don’t know, are they the real deal? This follow up to their “critically acclaimed” debut then (nice looking package as well, shiny shiny gold disc). Their sound is a little more immediate now, a little more lean, taut. I don’t know though? Do I buy their 60’s flavoured English jazzy beat rock and various shades of Cramps, Gene Vincent, Yardbirds and hints of funk? I don’t know, I buy it a little more now than I did with the debut, I still don’t know though, still doesn’t quite sound natural labour of love... www.littlebarrie.com

SINGLE OF THE WEEK 2
FEAR OF MUSIC – We Are Not The Enemy (Faster) – Stompy, glammy, indie, lush, full-bodied new wave rich infectious guitar pop with a neat enough dark dynamic edge. A lead track that’s laced full of cooky hooks and playful blows to the back of your head (it kinds of reminds me of Pura Vida, bet no one remembers them!). We Are Not The Enemy has a kind of meaner tough hooligan slant on a sunny American flavoured Placebo for Horrors fans who like Weezer (Pura Vida became Carrie and then Little Hell or something or other, the name changes were something to do with their constant whore like chasing of the man and that fated major label dream, that was the last century though, this is now...). Fear Of Music have that classic slightly quirky US new wave pop sound (that really could be from anywhere in the world). The darker edge and piano-flavoured bite of A Blueprint is where they really start to seriously impress and almost get in to dramatic (male fronted) Dresden Dolls territory in a restrained not quite kind of almost kind of brilliant way (kind of).  I kind of really like this in an all icons losing their meaning kind of way, yeah (kind of) this second track is how radio friendly pop kind of really should be – kind of intelligent, laced with substance, lyrics that open doors and yes yes yes! Sounds like it could be in their blood stream, b-side of the year (so far) and no perfect world from no shiny magazine, sign me up, I may soon be a fan if they have more like this. Ah but but but it is still real cold out so do dress in your long coat. Track three has a problem then, how can it possible follow the glory of number two, it doesn’t, still goooooooood though, still very good, still very very good. I like this band! I’m hooked, they got me, three tracks and I’m a fan. I get the impression they’re from Manchester, I don’t know, never heard of them ‘till today (and now my heart races in my chest) and they will get you in a twist and a tangle and kind of yes! Hang on, I’ve made like a proper reviewer now and got some actual facts, they’re from South Manchester, they’re ridiculously young for a band with this much class and song writing composure, this is very very good, hey, the sun came out, it was raining, now the sun is out, pass my long coat, watch the film, dodge the icons – YES! No kind of about it.  www.fastermusic.co.uk   / www.fearofmusic.com
