THE GIRL WITH THE REPLACEABLE HEAD
(featuring Lindy Morrison (Go-Betweens) and Mick Porter)

The girl Visconti Venice Gateshead bones and concrete backdrop beer doorways Doll hand Glamour Ghead style Romance Sultry innuendo forget the English way
The boy Midnight cowboy red Fender jaguar Shiny red pick up truck Smile Mass Latin Freedom In the shape of the red guitar The Balls on the edge Honesty like a red brick wall his head will break
Songs written discarded written discarded.

The Girl With The Replaceable Head - featuring Lindy Morrison (Go-Betweens) on drums and Mick Porter on bass once again - return to The Cumberland Arms to launch their new album, "Sometimes She Lives In The Dark, Sometimes She Lives In The Light".

DAVID LANCE CALLAHAN
(Wolfhounds/Moonshake) 'English Primitive I and II' solo

David Lance Callahan is an extraordinary character and musician. He has founded The Wolfhounds in the mid-80s which were part of the iconic C86 compilation. In the 90s David was (along with Margaret Fiedler) the leader of Moonshake which, along with other bands from the Too Pure label, contributed with energetic imagination to creating a kaleidoscopic post-rock scene in Britain. After having successfully reformed the Wolfhounds a few years ago, the pandemic led David to rework many of the songs he had prepared and to release, after more than 30 years of activity, his first, awesome solo album: "English Primitive I".

The follow-up to last year’s first volume, "English Primitive II" continues the themes introduced previously in a harder, more electric and psychedelic style. The songs were mostly recorded during the same sessions but, if EPI showcased the ‘songs of innocence’, this new set comprises ‘songs of experience’.
