Midlake play BBC 6 Hub Session. Are you watchening!

Hi all,

It’s been a while since we posted on this blog and for those of you that have been checking back every day and feeling neglected, we apologise, we still love you.

So what’s been happening at Camp Bella Union? Well we have just put the finishing touches to the Kissawy Trail debut and Stephanie Dosen’s new album. Both incredible albums that you should go out and buy several copies of. The whole gang also spent Wednesday night at the Midlake gig at Sheperd’s Bush Empire, which my friends, was incredible and if you haven’t had a chance to see the guys live, they’re out on tour in the UK at the moment, and definitely worth the price of the ticket. Which brings me to the exciting news that Midlake have just wrapped up a hub session with the fantastic Gideon Coe. The session is online now at : http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/events/hub/ and features a chat with the lovely Midlakers and two fantastic songs; Head Home and Chasing After Deers. If you get a spare minute check it out.

                               

On another note, we sadly lost an extremely effecient stapler the other day. It’s blue with red lining and features the words “Rough Trade” written on it in tipex. We are offering the finder of this prize possession a choice of any CD from our back catalogue. Get searching all you budding detectives.

Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace!

Hi All,

Here at the Bella Union HQ we’ve been ferociously nodding our heads to the sublime sounds of Speak the Hungarian Rapper (as yet unsigned). His beats are razor sharp and his lyrical flow is flawless, this could even be a late entry for this years Eurovision. Some naysayers, however, (I won’t name names) reckon this is just some guy talking in broken english to a P.Diddybiddy cast off. But don’t get it wrong, Speak as he’s known, knows a thing or two about the hottly debated political climate of today’s world.  Could this be the message that ends all of the world’s problems? Decide yourself, let ’em have it Speak:

Until next time. Come on, yeah, that’s right

The Kissaway Trail Destroy Hotel Room with Music

Hi all,

Thought we’d share this little video of the fantastic Kissaway Trail totally destroying a hotel room in Austin, with their MUSIC! The guys hammer out an amazing acoustic version of “Tracy”, to the total disbelief of their hotel maid. I know they’re technically not destroying the room, but if you look closely the beds are shaking, and the room is a little unkempt, some would even say messy.  This my friends, is the true spirit of rock and roll. Enjoy.

If you thought that was good, make sure you get to the one of the Kissaway shows coming up in April and join in, in what should be some excellent evenings out.  

Thursday 19 April – LONDON – Camden Crawl

Friday 20 April – LONDON – Camden Crawl

Sunday 22 April – LONDON – Spitz (supportinig Devastations)

Monday 23 April – LONDON – 93 Feet East (album/single launch)
