Daily Review - Oh! Custer - added Tuesday, May 13, 2008 That indie pop genre seems to be popular in Sweden. Nebraska based record label Series Two seems determined to find quality examples of it and has released a compilation by Oh!Custer. Since Bluesbunny is somewhere between Nebraska and Sweden, we are ideally placed to give a balanced review. read more…
New Pictures! - added Tuesday, May 13, 2008 More pictures added. GSF Photography has supplied a set from the Law's recent gig at the Liquid Rooms in Edinburgh. Bluesbunny has supplied pictures of The Levings, The Highways, Japan Four, Echo-Bass and The Sweet Leaves from a recent gig at Barrowlands 2 in Glasgow. Instamatic mad! read more…
Daily Review - Kill the Captains - added Monday, May 12, 2008 Ladies and Gentlemen, may we present Kill the Captains. This Sheffield based band have just released a new EP that is best accompanied by beer and excessive loudness. Ah, Sherbert Lemon, does that mean that review has been written. Why yes Midget gem, it has! read more…
Live Review - The Levings, The Highways, Japan Four, Echo-Bass, The Sweet Leaves - added Monday, May 12, 2008 Back to Barrowlands 2 for another Saturday night of fun. frolics and loud music. This time Bluesbunny casts an ear over The Levings, The Highways, Echo-Bass, Japan Four and The Sweet Leaves. Was it a good way to spend a Saturday night or not? read more…
Vinyl Vault - Lonelady - added Sunday, May 11, 2008 A practitioner of post punk angst from Manchester, Lonelady is something of a favourite at Bluesbunny Towers. Accordingly, we lovingly excised a copy of her single "Army" from the Vinyl Vault and gave it a review. Make it so! read more…
Live Review - Thao and the Get Down Stay Down, Louise Against the Elements, Zoey van Goey - added Sunday, May 11, 2008 There are times when the Bluesbunny wonders why he does the live review thing. Then there are times when he gets reminded. After seeing, nay experiencing, Thao and the Get Down Stay Down, Louise Against the Elements and Zoey van Goey live at Nice and Sleazy in Glasgow, Bluesbunny felt truly revitalised. read more…
Vinyl Vault - Frankie Miller - added Saturday, May 10, 2008 Time for another rummage through the Vinyl Vault. This week's choice - on blue vinyl - is from the legendary Frankie Miller and is one of his singles from 1978. A cover version and a worthy one at that, it is indeed worthy of a revisitation. read more…
Live Review - Jason and the Scorchers, The Wynntown Marshals - added Friday, May 09, 2008 Bluesbunny does not like to miss musical legends when they pass through town so we took up the opportunity to catch Jason and the Scorchers live at the ABC2. Local boys The Wynntown Marshals were keeping them company tonight as well. Big Peter McGee did the words. read more…
Daily Review - Robert Church & the Holy Community - added Friday, May 09, 2008 Music just creeps up on you sometimes. You listen to an album once and it does not impress you but you keep singing a song from it. You can't quite remember how or why it got to you but it did. Well, Swedish band Robert Church and the Holy Community have sneaked a few such songs onto their album "Le Rouge". A review was called for. read more…
Daily Review - Hovercraft Pirates - added Thursday, May 08, 2008 The Hovercraft Pirates are touring the UK as we write this (as part of the CMEAS Spring 2008 Tour) so it seemed like a good idea to review their current album "Mixtape". So that is what we did. read more…
Daily Review - Will Tang - added Wednesday, May 07, 2008 A proper blues man from Rochdale? There is actually such a thing and his name is Will Tang and he released an album called "Everything Changes" at the end of last year. Maybe it got lost in the post on its way here but Bluesbunny has it now. Time to crank it up! read more…
Daily Review - Green Tara - added Tuesday, May 06, 2008 Does Bluesbunny need a reason to review an album? Probably not but we have one anyway. Green Tara is over from Canada for a wee tour of our fine country including London (7 May), Bath (12 May), Prestwick (14 May) and Dundonald in Ayrshire (17 May). Might well be worth your time to see what she can do live. read more…
Live Review - Hawksley Workman, Sonny Marvello - added Monday, May 05, 2008 Hawksley Workman and Sonny Marvello on the same bill at King Tuts in Glasgow? Not a gig to be missed so Bluesbunny sent along Bad Tadd MacKenna to put the event to words. To the review, good sir! read more…
Daily Review - Wabash Cannonballs - added Monday, May 05, 2008 Disraeli Beers? Now, there is a name for an album. Creating a title for an album that references a classic rock album and, well, beer shows the kind of imagination that Bluesbunny respects. The band are the Wabash Cannonballs, they are from Chicago (and tour the UK in June, by the way) and here is the review. read more…
Live Review - Proud Mary, The Scuffers, Raymond Meade - added Monday, May 05, 2008 Proud Mary, The Scuffers and Raymond Meade all on the same bill? Another evening of live entertainment that could not be missed so Bluesbunny sent the intrepid Big Peter McGee to enjoy the fun that was to be had at King Tuts. And now the words! read more…
Vinyl Vault - The Draytones - added Sunday, May 04, 2008 It has been a funny old week at Bluesbunny Towers. Everytime that we put something in the Vinyl Vault we got the feeling that it was already there. Whilst humming along to this single by The Draytones we realised that we were once again in that predicament as we got transported back to late sixties London. Time, it's all relative. read more…
Vinyl Vault - The Chimptations - added Saturday, May 03, 2008 Bluesbunny prides himself on the open door musical policy in force here at Bluesbunny Towers. Even animals can get through the door for a review as this single from the Chimptations demonstrates. The worrying thing is that this single was not coming out of the Vinyl Vault but going in. That's right - it is a recent release! What is the world coming to? read more…
Live Review - First Tiger, Kat Healy, Mark Rafferty, Some Boy - added Saturday, May 03, 2008 Oh yes! A Free Candy Session featuring Mark Rafferty, Some Boy, Kat Healy and First Tiger! A new kebab shop next to the venue! Hoorah! read more…
Album of the Month - Kat - added Thursday, May 01, 2008 A proper charmer of an album came our way recently and it has been spending quite a lot of time on the CD player at Bluesbunny Towers. So much time that we felt that the only reasonable course of action was to make it album of the month. So we did. The album of the month for May is "Oh, The Humanity" by Kat. read more…
