Hello

Sorry to say that the last dribble of Cd's from the Bridgewater Hall show have gone.

I will update more news on the release 'proper' when I have them. It looks like an autumn one.

Labels: Chronicle, Durutti

I've just sponsored Darren Crawford at Cargo Records.

Darren is our label manager and has offered us a tremendous amount of support over our fifteen years or so of existence.
So... the least I can do is promote and support his charity bike ride.

You can help them raise money for The Prostate Cancer Charity too by donating at www.virginmoneygiving.com/DarrenCrawford

He has already received support from David Gedge and Gary Numan.... and me

Any support would be gratefully received.

Hello people out there....

We will be doing some very limited vinyl runs over the next few months just to keep the turntable well-oiled here at Kooky towers....


Under pretty heavy rotation will be


The Icypoles

The Icypoles grew out of a soundtrack to an experimental film and Isobel Knowles's love for 60s girl group garage bands and film music that creates a particular dark ambience. She work-shopped some band names with her best friends Tara Shackell and Kim White and together with them created the idea of The Icypoles.

Suddenly there was a new reason to write music and a small repertoire emerged. The songs featured on debut release, Promise To Stay represent this first collection.

Tara and Isobel were invited to join Architecture in Helsinki soon after The Icypoles started playing to audiences and there was a long pause in the development of the band while AIH toured the globe. But the idea stayed strong and more songs showed their faces over the years.




The Durutti Column

Vini and Co are still finishing off the finer points of Chronicle. In the meantime I am set to release the first Durutti column seven inch single for over twenty years.


More acts to be confirmed - watch this space!


Kooky Krew - wet northants

As per the last posting....The Chronicle premiere CD's that were left over have now gone I am afraid - thanks for the great support!!!

These will be posted out early next week due to heavy personal commitments.

A couple of pointers in general with the show CD's

1) They are CDR.
They have been professionally copied and litho printed. The mixes will be slightly different to the finished album. We had no time to run the album 'proper' and had to obligate the venue with the release.

2) 13 not 14 tracks...!
Wild Beast Tamed is missing........ er ......... we think!

3) Artwork
The images used may alter on the final release...


If you didnt get one - I am sorry - I did my best to sort everyone out...

Watch out for the blaggers on eBay !!

Hello,

Just to elaborate on the CD...

This will be available as part of the purchase for the premiere at Manchester on the 30th April.

It will be be a special show-only CD, housed in a PVC pouch attached to a Lanyard c/w a sixteen page booklet including the artists photographs.

All tracks are as per the previous listing on the site.

It is unlikely that there will be any left after the show and we are unable to 'reserve' any copies for those who have not bought a ticket.

Should any be left over I will post accordingly.

Thats all for now - hope to see you there !
