In the last of the Guardian Northerner 's posts on Wearside's great music debate, musician Neil Wood and student Hannah Matterson put their views Neil Wood is a musician and blogger in Sunderland. He's on Facebook and there's more here too . At 21 years old, I am slightly too young to recall the splendour of 1999-2005 in Sunderland. I was too busy playing football in the park and trying to conquer the SATS. Remember them? However, as a musician and blogger based in the city I can offer my own views on Sunderland and the music that ...

I fratelli Brewis, cuore pulsante dei Field Music, hanno dichiarato in un’intervista di volersi… Field Music – Plumb pubblicato su Indie For BUNNIES

Другой альбом, о котором много писали на этой неделе – изрядно озадачившая всех совместная запись Avey Tare из группы Collective">Animal Collective и Kria Brekkan из исландского коллектива Mum. Носит он название «Pullhair Rubeye» и обладает одной маленькой «особенностью»: он записан задом наперед. Зачем Эви и Криа решили так поступить; что это – шутка, серьезное намерение или просто «защита от копирования» - стало одной из тем обсуждения в блогах Gorilla vs Bear, Harmonium, Muzak For Cybernetics. Но всех переплюнул Tiny Mix Tapes; его написанный также задом наперед пост об этом диске просто надо видеть! Также частых упоминаний удостоились: «прог-поп»-альбом «Tones of Town ...

Field Music are a band from Sunderland, England who formed in 2004. The band's core consists of brothers David and Peter Brewis (who at one time played drums for fellow Sunderland band The Futureheads), with Andrew Moore. Field Music - "Guillotine" Field Music - "Who'll Pay The Bills?" Field Music have been celebrated as one of the few bands to transcend and outlast the short-lived NME -generated "post-punk revival" of the mid-noughties. Describing the band as "a truly artful proposition in the pseud-filled landscape of contemporary Brit art-rock", music blog The Fantastic Hope puts this down in part to their ...

Another slant on the who, whats, whens and whys of how Sunderland became the north-east's hotbed of musical creativity. Dan Carson speaks to today's young musicians and promoters on Wearside "What is it that transforms an area's local musical landscape into a credible national scene?" asks Live UK journalist Allan Glen, in his post on the Guardian Northerner which has triggered passionate debate. His answer seems to place the credit squarely at the feet of Sunderland City Council's 2008 Music City initiative , an 80-page document outlining plans to build upon the foundations laid by the likes ...

David Brewis of Field Music takes issue with yesterday's Guardian Northerner post, recalling the free-wheeling, spirited genesis of the city's contemporary music, and the role of an inspirational youth worker Allan Glen 's Guardian Northerner post yesterday, on the 'Wearside Sound' and Sunderland's hopes of matching Liverpool and Manchester as a 'music city', has prompted a lively response, both here and in Twitterland et al . Now David Brewis of Field Music tells it like it was, for him: It seems odd, 7 years on from our debut album to be thinking again about the formula for Sunderland ...

A lot of thought and planning, that's what. Allan Glen explains the clout behind Sunderland's progress towards becoming music's new Liverpool or Manchester What is it that transforms an area's local musical landscape into a national credible scene? Wearside acts The Futureheads , Field Music, Hyde & Beast, and Frankie and the Heartstrings may have achieved critical success in recent years but that is merely part of the story of how a city regenerates its music industry beyond geographical borders. Behind the NME features and music press hyperbole many others in Sunderland have been working tirelessly over the ...

On Saturday, June 16th, the famous Green Man Boat Party returns with live music and good times on the River Thames. There will be extraordinary musical sets from Three Trapped Tigers, Field Music and Tom Williams & The Boat along with a collection of top DJs. There's also going to be a lot of kegs of cider, which shouldn't hurt anything. Here's some information about the bands that'll be along for the adventure. Starting off, Field Music is based out of Sunderland and their album "Plumb" is an early contender for the most enjoyable pop album of ...

The organisers of The Green Man have confirmed another batch of new additions. Hidden in the black mountains, The Green Man is one of Britain's most idiosyncratic events. In the past the festival has invited Celtic druids to bless the site in case of rain, and their free-thinking spreads through every aspect of the event. Continuing to expand, Green Man recently added several new names to its line up. The Tallest Man On Earth will return to Brecon Beacons for the first time since 2010, bringing with them a new album. 'There's No Leaving No' is due to ...

Added to the Welsh festival bill that already includes Feist, Friends, tUnE-yArDs, Field Music, Three Trapped Tigers and Cold Specks.

Le RSD connaissait sa deuxième édition en France sous le nom de "Disquaire Day", je trouve ce nom assez mal choisi et préfère m'en tenir à l'original. D'un coté je comprends que "Record Store" ne fait pas automatiquement penser à un disquaire pour un francophone, mais de l'autre je trouve le mélange français/anglais assez raté (et je suis assez contre, tout comme changer les titres des films anglosaxons pour en mettre un autre en anglais à la place style the boat that rocks qui devient goodmorning england). Bien sûr la veille je me suis couché ...
