This morning I spoke to Louise Quinn and Bal Cooke of A Band Called Quinn.  Last year the band had a central role in the Vanishing Point theatre company production of The Beggar’s Opera.  The album The Beggars Opera was released last week.  A fascinating project, and I am kicking myself that I didn’t go to see the production when it was in Coventry.  The show must have been amazing, and here’s what Rebus author Ian Rankin says:

But the music…. The music was everything. Singer Louise Quinn dressed the part and proved herself no mean actor, especially when MacHeath came to call. Guitars, drums and keyboards churned and writhed. The lyrics added layers to Gay’s original theme. I left the theatre stunned and wanting to experience it all again.

Here’s the trailer, to give you a flavour.

The 4 songs played are:

  • Here’s To Us
  • The Fuse
  • Wolf Cries Boy
  • He’s A Dog (feat Maxi Geil)

Buy the album at bandcamp

The title music is by Tragic Shell Suit Disaster.

This time recorded in my office, using my ipod.  To me it sounds echoey, and the background noise of the traffic outside has not been successfully masked.  I will have to find a better space to record in when I’m not at home.

In electrical language 212:

Journey to the Centre of John’s Ma by Estel

(not … Johnisma as IODA seem to think and I said)

Karkari by Mammut

The Loving Sounds Of Static by Mobius Band

I owe the Mobius Band an apology: I was a bit harsh in what I said, and I take it all back.  Great beginning to this song (as I said), and great middle and great end.  Watch the video!

Stargazing by Kinzli and the Kilowatts

Down The Drain by Alexis Foxe

Headlong and The Gardener Of The Ground Below by Clara Luzia

Sin Dinero by Hakuna Pesa

The soundbed music is A Thousand Pictures Fill My Head by YVES. (YVES’ Youtube channel)

The title music is by Tragic Shell Suit Disaster.
