Meanwhile Over On Corporate Records Part 2…

Written by simonindelicate on February 17, 2012 – 2:17 pm -

Yes, kids – stretching the definition of ‘tomorrow’ here is part two of this week’s round up of awesome new music from Corporate Records

Zen Motel’s Cranked EP IS FUCKED BY ROCK and is here:
http://corpor.at/A261


The Thlyds Second Single Release of the week is Bored
‘I get the feeling that there’s something missing/ I’m bored of cider and vanadalism…’
http://corpor.at/A260


Silent Girl by Red State Sound System has Julia on b-vox and is more meta than Marvell:
http://corpor.at/T2298


Let’s Inject Ourselves With Illegal Substances by Speo is great, which is lucky since I mainly included it because it has the honour of being the 2,000th track uploaded to Corporate Records. You can find it on Speo’s Album – Shake – which am here:
http://corpor.at/A212


While I’m in the business of posting tracks based on their upload chronology, this is the 1000th track uploaded to the site. This is amazing for many reasons:
1) It’s a good song
2) Its being the 1000th upload means it has the shortlink ‘http://corpor.at/T1000
3) It’s called Don’t let bad men ruin your life which is pretty damned spooky, considering…

The T-1000


But anyway, it’s on Tulipmania by Fall Down Freddy – right here:
http://corpor.at/A108

That’ll do for now – like Takashi Miike in Hostel – go in there and spend ALL your money.
Peace and Fucking,
SX

2011: The Year in Review

Written by juliaindelicate on December 31, 2011 – 6:15 pm -

I got the idea to review the year from Dave Hughes, folk singer extraordinaire, whose album you can buy here: http://corpor.at/A211

January to March 2011 was spent in preparation for the release of our epic and much anticipated concept album David Koresh Superstar, an album about the Waco siege of 1993 and our first major foray into Country style music. Also some luau, which was lots of fun for me to sing! Amongst the many beautiful things simon made for the promotion of the album, I came in one evening to discover that Simon had MADE A GAME, having had no experience whatsoever of game design before. Naturally, I was astonished. Then my competitive streak set in and I had to WIN. You can play it below… (go here for HELP: http://corporaterecords.co.uk/koresh/gamerelease.html )

Before releasing David Koresh Superstar we decided it would be ace to release The Book of Job: The Musical!. We had already recorded the performance with the complete original cast a year before, but never released it (the files were ENORMOUS). Since the musical was first performed in 2004 (long before EVERYONE started doing musicals, I might add) it was nice to finally have the much sought after script and recordings publicly available. If you missed them, they are here: http://corpor.at/R183 We performed the show again just before Christmas 2011 in a two night special in London. It was a blast!

In April Simon wrote an article called Less Wedding, More Beheading, about the disgusting royal wedding, our distaste for it and why you’re all a bunch of servile little dupes who couldn’t dignity your way out of a tea-towel. It is very interesting. Here if you missed it: http://www.indelicates.com/2011/04/27/less-wedding-more-beheading/

Me and Lily Rae did a probably-should-have-been-edited song called We Love The Queen (yeah, sarcasm) too: We Love The Queen


May to Early July… We released and toured David Koresh Superstar with a band specially rehearsed and put together for these shows. This featured Max Saidi on drums, Mikey from David Devant and His Spirit Wife as an ATF Agent, JimBob from Carter USM as Mc Veigh, Chanson singer Philip Jeays as an ATF agent, Lily Rae as a young girl, Laurence ‘The Leisure’ owen on bass, Keith totp on guitar, Ciara Burke on backups, Al Clayton on rhythm guitar, Ed Sanderson on violin, Ed Van Beinum on additional guitar, and me and Simon on everything else. We had recorded much of it in 2010 with Brian at Bark Studios, and four of the tracks in the US in Austin TX with Britton at Ramble Creek studios, produced by Joie Mikitson and with additional pedal steel, banjo and Dobro played by Todd Pertll. We even went to the Waco site to look at the memorial there. It was fascinating and moving and strange and wonderful and unsettling. Highlights were shows in Sheffield, Brighton, London, Milton Keynes, Cambridge and Glasgow and, in October, finally getting Todd to play pedal steel on stage with us on our first proper US tour. One of my favourite video’s from the recording is Britton Beisenherz playing an ATF agent in “Something’s Goin’ Down In Waco”.

One of my favourite reviews of the album was, to our non-religious, philosophically-satanic surprise, from the christian “World” magazine in an article about The Book of Mormon and David Koresh Superstar, which said

“…’A Single Thrown Grenade’ followed by … ‘I Don’t Care If It’s True’ arrestingly articulate megalomania and its discontents at their most sadly poignant. In short The Indelicates don’t so much seek to mock as to understand. The extent to which they succeed is chilling.”

The official video for I Am Koresh was a lot of fun to do, and we got deliciously close to ‘the line) when the young women playing the followers of Koresh put jumpers up their dresses to mimic pregnancy. (Mwahaha). You can buy the album and lyric book here:

http://corporaterecords.co.uk/koresh/preorder.html

And digitally here: corpor.at/A190

July saw us returning to germany for a mini tour, playing in Mainz, and featuring the First Super Special Edition Performance outside of the UK, in Stuttgart, which was brilliant and everyone was ace to us. Aside from some vehicle troubles, it was nice and warm compared to our knee-deep-in-snow tour of 2010. Here’s a video from Stuttgart…

In August our friend Keith Totp released his debut album on Corporate Records. We, and many MANY others played on it, and Simon designed the artwork for it. It is loud, experience it here: http://corpor.at/A219

I grew Chillis for the first time. They didn’t die, which is a miracle, as I really don’t have green fingers… They taste lovely, which is also a miracle.

September was a sadder month than we anticipated. Twitter started feeling less like a place for content, and more for dullard’s outrage and boring opinion. We had less people to talk to than before. The music industry seemed to recuperate enough to frighten people into using only their business models. They will lose, probably – ultimately. But it was sad to see it working, and on people we thought it wouldn’t. Not everyone who works in the music industry is bad, or does a bad job, but that it’s last gasp was a willingness to frighten people into thinking it’s authority was absolute was sad. But we were preparing for our first US tour, which was exciting and for the most part unknown territory for us. Plus, if you don’t know by now how much we love it there, well… You haven’t been paying attention ;)

October… FIRST EVER US TOUR!!! We had done SXSW in 2008 and some shows in New York before, but never a full length shows-every-night thing like we do in Germany and the UK. We crowd sourced Brad, who drummed for us the first two shows, and who very kindly put us up for the first few days of Boston/ RI shows. We then moved on to NYC, where we spent an afternoon with Nathan and ate perhaps the best meal I’ve ever yet tasted (Sichuan chilli dish, with sichuan peppercorns, and a side dish of beef tendon, which sounds terrifying, but is BREATHTAKING. For pudding we had Red Bean Ice Cream. New York really is the best city in the world for food that will pay us to come to it). The gig was ace, it was the tail end of Comic-Con so we had some friendly UK/US faces there, as well as patient fans who hadn’t seen us since 2008, and Pianos is a beautiful old place. We all went for Pho afterwards and talked and talked and it was a breath of fresh air and I miss them all terribly.

Philadelphia saw us playing in the Tritone, managed and run by great people, and playing first were a band whose blues guitar was just awesome. We met a man from West Philadelphia (like Will Smith hur hur), and we had time to go to Independence Hall and take a tour where the Declaration was signed. Simon got to have his roast pork sandwich with sharp provolone cheese and broccoli rabe, which he liked. Ohio, Indianapolis and Lafayette were followed by Port Byron Illinois (one of the quad cities) where we had booked a Super Special Edition for Grahm Eberhardt and Autumn at G’s Riverfront Cafe. We were fed, watered, treated to a visit to a canyon, to the worlds biggest truck stop in Ohio (it’s amazing), met Grahm’s wonderful family, Jeff’s wonderful family, talked politics and occupy and old style activism, played a packed out gig, got Annah, Grahm’s daughter, on stage with us, and generally had the best time. You are my American Family, and we love you.

On to St Louis Missouri, Madison Wisconsin (where we had cheese curds mmmm), and finally Chicago, Illinois, where we met up with Kat our US booker, who’d done such an ACE job, and Joie, Todd and their dog, who put us up there. We got to have Hot Doug’s hot dogs (I had a Foie Gras and Sauternes Duck Sausage with Truffle Aioli, Foie Gras Mousse and Fleur de Se. WHAT OF IT. It was $9.00. And blew my mind) and so we began to drive back to NYC for the final show of the tour – a Super Special Edition Performance for Jordan D. White in Manhattan. It was a wonderful end to the tour, we got to see Kevin and Jordan and Dave and Samuel and everyone else we’d seen in NYC at the beginning, again for this show. You can download the whole 20 track show here: http://corpor.at/A234

I’m sure I’ve forgotten things about the tour, but I have photos you can look at all on my Tumblr, just keep scrolling down. http://juliaindelicate.tumblr.com

In November and December… we began preparing for a Rarities show, which ended up being more of a Homecoming show in London. It was one of my favourite yet, group singalongs of Fun Is For The Feeble Minded and Point Me To The West, and it was nice to see everyone. Laurence and Ed joined us on bass and violin respectively, and Dennis on drums who, considering we threw him in blind, did an ace job. We rehearsed for The Book of Job: The Musical! Christmas shows, which were great fun, and the script and cd packages sold out in no time at all. It was a christmas miracle. We had money for presents! To sign off on the year we did a final Super Special Edition Performance in Folkestone for Peter Murrells, which was ace, and a show in Colwyn Bay in Wales for the Digs Project, which was cold but lovely.

The world is less bright and more lonely since the deaths of Christopher Hitchens and Russell Hoban. Hitchens used to say that he could tell people who didn’t know the first thing about Iraq from the way they’d begin their point ‘OK, So Saddam was a bad guy…’, Similarly, you can tell people who didn’t know the first thing about Hitchens when they appear on television referring to him as Chris (which, as a cursory glance at his memoir reveals, he wouldn’t have permitted while alive) and describing his ‘journey’ from the left to right wings of political opinion. It’s rubbish. There’s no betrayal or journey involved in a consistent disgust at totalitarian impulses wherever they’re found – among dictators, gods, the servile, the censorious and the boring. We didn’t know him at all – but this brave new world feels even less welcoming to us without him. You should read the chapter of Hitch-22 about his relationship with America, It will save us the bother of trying to write identical sentiments later. Russell Hoban was also a wonderful writer. If (like us before drifting into consciousness to him in a New England motel room) he’s just been a name from the periphery of your reading, you should try and find a copy of the HBO adaptation of The Marzipan Pig – which is just the whole book read out by Tim Curry with some lovely animation over the top. It’s our new favourite thing in the world.

We’ve been reading everything by Orson Scott Card and we ♥ it. If you’re thinking of telling us not to because of some things he’s said that you don’t agree with, you might want to ask yourself if you really want to sound that much like Joe McCarthy. We don’t go in for blacklisting, even when we agree with the blacklisters. The thing about people is that they always think they’re the good ones.

Simon began writing and drawing his children’s stories, which we are currently ‘testing’ on any children we know :D

I started a side business with Harley Rose called Shop Girl, making Jewellery and Pins and Rings out of Old Postcards and STUFF. Site is here: http://shopgirl.me and @shopgirlcrafts

NEXT YEAR… We will release an album. I won’t tell you anything about it yet.
We will play gigs. Some of them are up here http://gigs.indelicates.com

We will come to America again. If you want a super special edition in THE WEST in FEBRUARY/ MARCH, then CONTACT US NOW! We will be offering special rates to people who can help us out on accomodation/ food etc. @theindelicates on twitter, or on Facebook or by Email to info@indelicates.com

We will come to Germany again. We would like to do Special Edition Shows in Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Koln, and anywhere else you fancy having us. As before, CONTACT @theindelicates

It’s been a very hard year for us, filled with work and content and new things and old things and new friends. People who have touched us, people who have ignored us, people who have listened, people who have cared.

It has been a hard year but we will not stop.

We wish you all the best for the New Year,

Julia Indelicate X

COMING IN. COMING OUT. COMING UP.

Written by juliaindelicate on November 15, 2011 – 3:20 pm -

We’re just about recovered from our jet-lag, and back in the UK following our tour in the US. We had a brilliant time, we ALWAYS have a brilliant time, and coming back has been tough.

We’ve gone straight back into working on new material for next year, and that’s all I’m currently saying about that :)


COMING IN…

We did two Super Special Edition Performances in the US, and the one we did in New York City is now available to download on Corporate Records here. Get it. It’s gorgeous. http://corpor.at/A234

A selection of my photographs from the US are here, although if you’re interested Simon Indelicate has a whole bunch up too. http://juliaindelicate.tumblr.com (there’s loads, just keep going down)

GOING OUT. COMING UP…

1)

The Indelicates HOMECOMING SHOW! Is on THIS FRIDAY, 18th November, at the Camden Head. Supporting are Keith Totp, who’s just released his Debut Album, and just announced… Kit Richardson who we saw earlier in the year, and is grand.

Tickets: http://tinyurl.com/camdened
THERE ARE RUMOURS THAT WE WILL HAVE INDELICATES THEMED CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS FOR SALE, and possibly fudge.

2)

The Book of Job: The Musical! RETURNS!!! We’re doing two shows for Christmas, on the December 7th and December 8th. I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND BUYING TICKETS IN ADVANCE, as last time I had to turn people away.

IF YOU DON’T LIKE MUSICALS, THEN THIS IS THE MUSICAL FOR YOU (people tell me this, I honestly think it just means you actually DO like musicals, just GOOD ones like ours ;) ) The musical re-tells the biblical story of Job – that of a righteous and godly man royally screwed over by God for no particular reason – in an inspired blend of Andrew Lloyd Webber-style showtunes, dense liturgical theology and knockabout pythonesque comedy. We conjure a multi-million pound west end spectacle using little more than a guitar, some stage directions and the audience’s willing imagination.

We have had sell-out performances and standing ovations at Brighton Fringe Festival, Cheltenham Literature Festival, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and have performed the musical all over the country, without any money. AT ALL.

Tickets:
December 7th: http://tinyurl.com/jobmusical7
December 8th: http://tinyurl.com/jobmusical8

3)

Saturday 10th December is a Super Special Edition performance in Folkestone, at Googies. You can find more information here: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=236064813108165

4)

Friday 16th December is a pass-the-hat-round show at the Ranelagh in Brighton, with WOB, who is wonderful. Go here for info: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=144924615609610

5)

Saturday 17th December we head to Colwyn Bay in Wales, for the Digs Project, which sounds brilliant. Info here: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=225192240869096

COME IN. COME OUT. COME UP.

I love you.

Hello, Mildly Curious Americans Who Might Find This Website Looking For Stuff!

Written by simonindelicate on October 1, 2011 – 1:08 pm -

We know how it is – you met us at the end of the night and you kind of liked our stuff and you shouted over the DJ: ‘WHAT WAS THE NAME OF YOUR GROUP?’ and we shouted back something indistinct that you pretended to hear because you were being nice but that actually could have been anything. And then, as you were leaving you passed a poster that you half registered which had the name of the band on it so that later, when you thought: hey, what was the name of that band I saw? You kind of remembered enough to type ‘delicates british indie combo spunk song’ into google. Google sent you here and  - because we like making it easy for you, because we love you, and kind of because we want to get some of your money off you – we’re here to help.

Do you want to get hold of some digital music by us? Great, you can do that by clicking any of the following links:

1. Our latest album, which is the one  with all the songs you didn’t quite get the point of but that seemed to be mainly about David Koresh and the ATF:

Tht’s here: http://corpor.at/A190

2. Our second to last album which has the one where she says snatch, the savages one and is where you’ll find the moodier more cabaret-ish songs?

Right here: http://corpor.at/A28

3. Our debut album which has the one where he says ‘come’ (as a noun) and the one where we are pro-american and which is generally poppier?

Here: http://corpor.at/A27

Do you disdain progress with it’s flawed utopian dream of a seamless life untroubled by visible mechanisms? Why then you may be in the market for one of our Compact Disc or Vinyl packages!

You can find these here:

David Koresh Superstar Cds and Books

Songs For Swinging Lovers Special Editions

Older CDs, Merch etc.

Thank you for visiting, stranger from last night, you will always occupy a special place in our hearts.

XX.

The Indelicates

P.S. Come see us again, we’ll be at these places:

10/13 Cambridge/Boston, MA – the Can Tab
10/14 Providence, RI – Speakaasy @ Local 121

US DATES

Written by juliaindelicate on September 9, 2011 – 4:42 pm -

AMERICA.

WE.

ARE.

COMING!

It has been quite something to organise logistically, and we’ve worked with some of the AWESOMEST people just to get this all up and running. HOWEVER. There are still some things we want to do, and we’ll appreciate ANY HELP, as this is our FIRST EVER PROPER US TOUR.

10/2 Austin, TX – Swan Dive
10/3 Dallas, TX – Poor David’s Pub
10/6 Little Rock, AR – Maxine’s
10/13 Cambridge/Boston, MA – the Can Tab
10/14 Providence, RI – Speakaasy @ Local 121
10/16 NYC, NY – Presented by Pianos
10/17 Philadelphia, PA – Tritone
10/19 Dayton, OH – Venue TBA
10/20 Indianapolis, IN – The Melody Inn
10/21 Lafayette, IN – The Black Sparrow
10/26 Madison, WI – The Frequency
10/27 Chicago, IL – Elbo Room
10/28 Chicago, IL – Elbo Room

First off, I (Julia) have no money, as the Tax Man took it all, seriously ALL OF IT, which means hiring Piano Keyboards is going to be tough. IF YOU HAVE A PIANO, and LIVE IN ANY OF THESE PLACES, can I borrow it for a night? I promise to treat it to the finest silks, shower it in autumn kisses, and play it gently and in a completely non-violent way ;) I use a Yamaha P120, which is pretty old and battered, but I like the tone. But anything with a weighted hammer action will do. Of course I’m going to have to hire in some places, but I thought some of you MIGHT be ok with sharing. If you can HELP, PLEASE… MESSAGE/ COMMENT/ TWEET @theindelicates

Second off: IF YOU ARE SKILLED, and in one of the towns we are playing, we might like you for a song or two. In the past we’ve had trumpeters, accordionists, saw players, fiddle players, and generally kiss anyone who wants to play the drums for us. If this is you, and you like us, and you’re interested, we should HOOK UP @theindelicates

SUPER SPECIAL EDTIONS – Last year we had people buying £300 (Approx $479) Super Special Editions of our Songs For Swinging Lovers album. It was so successful we’ve decided to offer it again on this tour. We come to your house/ cafe/ library/ venue/ garden and we play a set for you, of anything you like really (NO STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN), we RECORD the performance, and then HAND OVER THE RIGHTS in that recording TO YOU. With a GOddamn CONTRACT and everything. It’s pretty cool, and we love doing it. A few people who’ve bought it have a number of people pay a certain amount, like a gig, and make their money back that way. If you want this, as I know already a number of you do, please look at our TOUR DATES first and see where there are gaps. We should be able to accomodate most of you, and if all goes well we’ll be back next year to accomodate the WEST COAST (and Vegas :) )

ALSO BE ADVISED THAT WE HAVE TO DRIVE BACK FROM CHICAGO TO bOSTON at the END OF THE TOUR to FLY HOME. so if you want a Super Special Edition AFTER THE TOUR, and ESPECIALLY if you can offer us somewhere to rest our indelicate limbs for the night, and ESPECIALLY if you make awesome FOOD, WE WILL COME. Those who can offer food and bed are MUCH RECQUIRED, and will be REWARDED with exciting things.

YOU HAVE ONE WEEK TO DECIDE IF YOU WANT A SUPER SPECIAL EDITION, because of logistics. @theindelicates on Twitter

AMERICA. CONTACT US. WE ARE HERE. WE ARE READY.

AND, I’M SO GLAD TO SAY, WE’RE COMING :) :)

Larry and the other guy.

Written by simonindelicate on September 1, 2011 – 8:31 pm -

Me, much younger, poeting

Back when I used to be a poet – when I had yet to realise that it was an artform almost entirely annexed by frumps – I used to go to the poetry slam in Brighton every month. It was good, back then. It was hard. It wasn’t like the poetry slams you get now where a man sits in a corner funded by the arts council to tap on a bongo and every last poet gets 8 or 9 out of 10. It wasn’t just bad MCs doing boring, demagogue-y blather about how they like drugs – people used to fail there, they’d get zero out of ten, people would pelt them with bottlecaps. It meant that people tried – people were good, they had to be. It wasn’t self-help.

Anyway, back then, I had a friend called Larry. He was old – I don’t know how old, but old enough to be rheumy eyed and to look like he might have a barnacle problem somewhere about his person. He was mad, too, in a brilliantly creative way. He had a thousand poems in his flat in a filing cabinet and each one had been typed out, decorated with whatever attractive litter he’d picked up – the wire top from a champagne bottle, clippings, detritus – and then photocopied. Once he came up to me in the street to ask me if I’d stand behind him at a poetry night while he recited verse wearing an army helmet upon which I could play a drum beat. He was mad like that. He was also brilliant. There wasn’t a hint of greetings card mawk in his poetry, it was Brut, sure, but he had a genuine ear and an incisve turn of phrase and he could write poems that arrested you and cut you to the quick. I thought he was awesome.

At the poetry slams, Larry would always compete. He had a few crowd pleasers that he could pull out if he was worried that the audience weren’t up for anything serious – as time went on he pulled them out more than he needed to – and they would see him succeed. He’d get through to finals and people would laugh and clap and that pleased him.

But then there was this other guy. Also old, though younger than Larry. Also mad, though not interestingly so. He would turn up in a filthy jumper and look weird. His poems weren’t brilliant – they were mumbled inaudibly and what got through was rubbish not worth hearing.

The thing was, Larry hated this other guy. If you were sat with Larry and this other guy walked in, Larry would roll his eyes and fidget and let out audible sighs. See, when the other guy got up to shitly read his shit poems the crowd reacted exactly the same as they did to Larry. To them, there was an old mad guy and wasn’t that charming and look there’s another mad old guy and he’s charming too, hurrah! To the audience – who didn’t care that much because they were just out for a fun, slightly edgy, slightly offbeat evening – there was no difference between Larry and this other guy – they were just the two mad old men who did the mad old man thing. Mad old man one and mad old man two. The mad old men.

Larry knew that it didn’t matter to anyone else, he was self-aware enough to know that the audience were just temporal, amorphous sources of laughter and applause behind the lights. They had different, alien concerns. But it offended him. It was offensive that someone could use the same skin to gain the rewards that were owed to his innards. They looked alike but they were not alike; and people should have known better.

I heard Larry died. I don’t know what happened to his filing cabinet.

Anyway, that was that, I don’t know what made me think of it.
