Stained Gold EP Sets The Stage For Affairs

AFFAIRS have it all to play for with their Stained Gold EP.  After a triumphant London debut at the Old Blue Last, the band are now gearing up for the record’s release. The EP is currently available to stream on the Clash Music website, alongside a rave live review. With sleek hair and even sleeker tunes, the Hull to Manchester transplants are primped, primed and ready to go.

The Stained Gold  EP is a dark indie dream, with James Robinson’s rich vocals buoyed by roiling synths and percussion. The EP traces a path through the haze of youthful intoxication and the devastation of mental illness, and on to the importance of close male relationships. Latest single ‘Runaway’ celebrates the freedom of youth and the rush of a chemically fuelled night out. Previous singles have drawn support from Steve Lamacq and John Kennedy, so it’s a sure bet that AFFAIRS will be pumping on your stereo this summer. The Stained Gold EP campaign carries the band through to July 15^th when they headline John Kennedy’s Remedy at Tooting Tram and Social. With Robinson’s stage presence often drawing comparison to Future Islands’ Samuel T Herring, it’s no doubt going to be a captivating show.

The stage is set for AFFAIRS to step into the light. A crowd is forming, the house lights are down, and the amps are plugged in. So get on your dancing shoes and ink John Kennedy’s Remedy in your diary. It’s a night not to be missed.’

The Urban Voodoo Machine: Taking 2016 By Storm

This year, Bourbon soaked Gypsy Blues Bop ‘n Stroll collective, The Urban Voodoo Machine are set to release their latest and greatest album., ‘Hellbound Hymns’, a repertoire of dark and woozy songs delivered with a gritty edge and packed with explicit themes and lyrics.

Following the success of previous album, Love, Drink & Death, Hellbound Hymns is already gaining praise by credible UK blogs and radio stations, as well as high anticipation from their 10.000 strong Facebook following.

It’s looking like The UVM may have struck gold with this jam-packed gypsy blues album…

Accompanied by burlesque dancers, snake-charmers and fire-eaters they call friends &  looking like something dragged up from the depths of Tim Burton‘s back-catalogue, The UVM head out this year on their Lucky 13 Tour - named due to 2016 being the bands 13th year playing together.

There will no doubt be plenty more mariachi-influenced blues, whiskey-soaked country rags and punkabilly-style rave-ups -so hurry up and get your tickets because they’re going fast and this is one show you don’t want to miss…

Lucky 13 Tour Dates

We’re crossing our fingers in hopes that the tour will be packed with all the nostalgia from the Gypsy Hotel Club in the then-unfashionable part of London’s East End, Dalston, a monthly Bourbon Soaked Snake Charmin’ Rock’n'Roll Cabaret night. Time Out Magazine wrote, “If you have 12 hours to live, spend it at Gypsy Hotel!”

The Urban Voodoo Machine started the event in 2006 and has since set a bench mark for the likeminded misfits, movers and shakers.
