WelcomeDo you re-mem-ber...?

Every year, when it comes to Earth, Wind and Fire month, everyone starts looking forward to Christmas. For this guitarist (stage left), Christmas has come early with a whole crop of new songs!

Thing is, when we started the Tuesday Club way back in the dim and distant past (aka 2011), the line up was somewhat different (not worse/better... just different). Since then, we’ve shed a member and aren’t going back with another and this has led to a Change In The Sound (some might say ‘A New Direction’... but not One Direction. We couldn’t keep up with the hairstyles). Some have called the new sound an ‘atonal mess’... but then they didn’t have much imagination anyway. We likes it. We does.

Anyway, all of these new songs will be played at a gig near you very soon. Check the gig list to find out precisely where.

with

This month we welcome local St.Albans folk hero, promoter (of ‘The FREE entry, Boot

open mic night’ on Wednesdays in St.Albans, and a regular TC haunt), soloist and in this

guise frontman of Nick and The Sun Machine, Nick Stephenson

1) OK firstly, we are sitting in the cyber pub doing this

interview, and it’s our round. What do you want to drink?

A whisky cocktail please.. with plenty of citrus!

2) What was the last thing you heard/watched that was so

good you had to tell someone about it?

2001 a Space Odyssey - believe it or not I’d

never actually seen it. I was completely blown

away by how ahead of it’s time it was. Plus I love the books of Arthur C Clark so it was a bonus to see his imagination married with Stanley Kubrick’s visual style. Wonderful film.

3) Describe what Punk Rock means to you?

Being yourself

4) Our band ranges from 30 - 52 in age. Is there ever an

age when you’re too old to rock’n’roll?

NEVER!! 5) In terms of Nick and The Sun Machine is the Internet

help or hindrance?

Mmm I’d say a hindrance to me because I honestly hate spending all my time updating stuff when I should be playing or writing. Saying that It probably dose benefit us as a band because that’s the first place

people look!

6) What’s the best gig you’ve played in the last year? (I

Think I know the answer to this)

Haha yeah.. because I simply would not shut up

about it! The Isle of Wight Festival, hands down.

7) If you could be any character in a film, what film and

who would it be?

Indiana Jones in the Last Crusade.. Eternal

life! 8) You are now In The Club, but what club do you actually

wish it was?

haha nothing wrong with this club! Club Silencio

- the one designed by David Lynch.. I think its

in Paris somewhere.. 9) What question haven’t we asked you that you wish we

had?

Which bands do you feel need more exposure in

this world.. My answers are The Tuesday Club

and Nick and The Sun Machine!! 10) Who’d be in your 4 piece fantasy rock’n’ roll band.

It’s not always easy to know who you are talking to at Tuesday Club gig. Looking for the cowbell

ComparetheMinki.com ... Don’t get minxed up!

DAMinx

Monday (Monday)Minx is hot. Is too hot British summer, with it hot but no sun policy. Even sit in shade is no good. Have joke with minion who say he is my biggest fan, but he no good for fan, no breeze. Need man like in India, call punkah-wallah. This man would sound like should be in Tuesday Club. Ha ha Punky Wally. Is what Minx call Vanderbraindrain when he being stupid. Like when he crawl on floor and spill beer on self. Which seem most of time.

Tuesday (Tuesday)Minion get slap, until realise he saying “go to beach”, not “get to bitch”. Is difficult understand minions accents sometime. But Minx not apologise. Is not for Minx to say sorry. Is minion fault for speak strangely. Builder minion even worse with cockernee geezer accent. When he shout for Perestroika and Kalashnikov in park it sound like he saying ‘queer’ when in fact he say “Come ‘Ere”. I tell him we get him electrocution lessons which he seem get excited about. Have never known anyone get so excite about go back to school.

Wednesday (Wednesday)Talk of go back school, most children in street have now gone back school. Is bliss. Children opposite scared of Minx. Ever since I steal big group of mini Croc outside front door they scared. Good. I could not bear them look at me for any minute longer (Croc not kid) and had to despose of ugly disgust shoe. Summer is so bad for disgust shoe, glad is now September and boot time coming soon. And fur coat (yes yes Minx not wear real fur coat, know is not worth with painty throw people) and full uniform. Feel undressed without full uniform with roly poly shirt sleeve. Even on holiday wear uniform bikini, complete with diver knife - as never know when prospective minion get over zealous.

Thursday (Thursday)Realise is year that Minx deign to give monthly life story to Club of Tuesday band magazine. No cake or champagne (prefer pint vodka) is forthcoming. Most upset. At least minion (plural) know how treat Minx. Not sure what band make of Minx. All know is, always need more cowbell более колокольчик, in fact now have regimental badge of more cowbell. Think all merchandise of band should have

face of Minx and more cowbell. Know would be most successful merchandise, t-shirt, mug, pencil, minion collar of all bands. More than Aerosmith and Adam Ant and AC/DC, in fact more than all band of begin with A. In fact, more than all band start from A all way to Z. Minx smile when think of this. All world walking around with Minx More Cowbell T-shirt. Is pleased. Is fate. Is future. Band just need submit.

Friday (Friday)Have realised that most UK go crazy on Friday evening. A ‘post work pint’ seem to be most fashion. In fact this happen most days in England. And in most towns. Band of Club play at music festival near northern town of Hull where insipid alter ego Minki was little child (if we can ever be call little). Is called Burton Constable. Not sure if this is like something do with police. Perhaps policeman call Bert owns field and is have concert.

Saturday (Saturday)Apparently tonight at festival a band play call Big Country. But they from Scottish. Is not Big Country at all, whereas my homeland can fit 69. 75 of UK. This is Big Country. Most impress, no? Builder Minion most impress by this stat. At least think so as muttering ‘would you Adam and Eve it’. Is some strange language he speak. I getting there knowing ‘apples and pairs’ but not much else. I invent ‘more dingly dell’ for translate as more cowbell, but minion and Builder Minion

think is hilarious rather than brilliant. They go to bed with no supper.

воскресенье (Sunday)Ah Minx forgot say, in August was Supermoon. This must be moon for drummer, as other name for Tittybar Telski is Super. Am most impress. When will be Minxmoon?

the Album!!!

Foot tappersCLUb‘COS the Platters still matter....Dear Club fans, welcome to AVBD and The Beautiful Wolf’s monthly round up of the new, the old, the signed, the unsigned and the inspirational, from our very own musical old curiosity shop, where we pick and podcast 10( ish) tracks that turn us on... with a little help from J-Rod! Here’s a selection of the featured tracks, but you’ll have to listen to find out more :-)

This month’s featured track from The Tuesday Club, is - ‘Replication and

Montage’ a not so often played but ,much loved track from See You Next Tuesday. It’s Mariachi, but not as you know it! thetcshop.com

Marc Almond - Tasmanian Tiger from his latest album The Dancing Marquis, which according to Cherry Records PR Bumph “compiles together 6 tracks released previously on two strictly limited edition vinyl EPs and adds another two brand new tracks and two exclusive and stunning remixes” To me (AVBD), it sounds just like a missing track from Marc Bolan’s last album ‘Dandy in The Underworld’‘The Marquis’ is produced by Tony Visconti the legendary producer of T.Rex and like in their heyday, adds sumptuous string arrangements throughout!

http://youtu.be/9GHOHY8CyYQ

Mr.B - Bullingdon breakdown From Mr B. The Gentleman Rhymer’s 2012 album The Tweed Album. A personal fave of hugely unpopular ex minister for schools Micheal Gove, but please don’t let that put you off, Mr. B is great and a thoroughly decent chap too!

http://youtu.be/nY7IjnxmGsE

Afrika Bambaataa - Death MixNext up a lovely bit of old vinyl - Afrika

Bambaataa is one of the originators of breakbeat DJing. My personal fave by AB is the amazing world destruction with John Lydon in the collaboration Timezone. But this rocks too... Lo-fi to die for.

http://youtu.be/S_yxkpyOoEc

Sugar Cubes - Regina - Another lovely bit of vinyl. From the pre- Venus as a Boy Bjork’s Icelandic Post Punk ensemble. They first

came to notice in the UK when radio DJ John Peel played their track “Birthday”.

It became an indie hit in Britain, later voted single of the year.

http://youtu.be/PznnQ9nhWFU

The Skids - Man for all seasons - We’ve gone vinyl crazy this month, next up a track from Scotland’s finest. Taken from

the album The Absolute Game. Featuring the late Great Richard Adamson. Here’s some vintage footage of the band in action on the Old Grey Whistle Test. An Incident In Algiers OGWT

http://youtu.be/_aS5sqm3sPo

Silver Apples - A Pox on you - Here’s New York’s iconic Silver Apples performing their classic

of the month!SPECIAL REQUEST SPOT!LoSt ARtISt

‘A Pox On You’ in Toronto nin 2008. The track comes from the album ‘Contact’ which was the second album by Silver Apples. The cover and inner artwork generated a lawsuit from Pan Am Airlines. The cover features the Silver Apples in a plane cockpit with drug paraphernalia and the inner artwork showed the band amongst plane wreckage playing banjos. The resulting lawsuit by Pan Am against Silver Apples and Kapp Records led to the breakup of the band.A Pox on them anyway, eh?!

The Ramones - Commando AVBD and the Beautiful Wolfs fave Ramones track, our belated tribute to the dearly departed Tommy. It was also the name of guitarist Johnny’s autobiography.

In this, our latest In the Club feature, we choose our

album of the month. It can be brand new, very old,

unsigned local talent that should be getting more

exposure, or a triple platinum selling masterpiece that

should have been...

This months lost artist is one we featured in our July

edition of In the Club - Hatfield’s own - Marine Girls. Despite being a relatively obscure band in their lifetime, they still managed to feature in a

recently published Top 50 favourites of Kurt Cobain.

Marine Girls were a post-punk group from Hatfield,

Hertfordshire. The group was formed in 1980, by two

sixth form school friends: Tracey Thorn and Gina

Hartman. Originally, Thorn just played guitar and

Hartman was the lead vocalist and percussionist. Thorn

overcame her shyness and started singing too by the time

they started making records. They were later joined by

Jane Fox on bass and her younger sister, Alice, on joint

vocals and percussion.

Contemporaries of acts such as Young Marble Giants

and The Raincoats, the group applied the DIY ethic of

the time to record a self-produced and self-released

cassette called A Day By The Sea. They went on to record

an album Beach Party which was recorded in a garden

shed and released on In-Phaze then re-released by Dan

Treacy of Television Personalities for his label Whaam!

Records. In October 1981, Thorn moved to Hull to attend

university, and Hartman left the band in 1981 to pursue

other musical projects whilst the Fox sisters both went

on to art school in Brighton. The group still performed

together and released a second album, Lazy Ways, in

April 1983.

From 1982, Thorn concentrated on her studies and her

growing personal and professional relationship with

fellow Hull student Ben Watt. As Everything But The

Girl, their first single included a re-recording of the

Marine Girls song, “On My Mind”. Quoted from Wikipedia

entry.

A little further note of interest. The band that Tracey

Thorn started with in 1979 was called Stern Bops, who

recorded a song called Boys Cry Too. A couple of years

ago, 3 members of the TC’s recorded their own version

for The Minx’s previous incarnation, 50ft Woman!

Parsons Knows

TheBy Denise Parsons – Music Promoter – ‘The Live Music Project’ Trestle Arts Base, St.Albans

THIS MONTH’S TOP 4 BANDS/ARTISTS!

Well summer is nearly over and I hope you’ve all enjoyed it and maybe been to a festival or two. There have been some great little festivals up and down the country this year. Normal service has resumed with The Live Music Project at Trestle Arts Base and we have some cracking gigs coming up over the next few months, remember it’s the last Saturday of every month!

On a very sad note, I would like to pass on my condolences to a fantastic local band called High Treason on the sudden passing of their drummer Mr Gary Scarbrow (left). RIP Gary and hope you’re drumming up there. High Treason have been great supporters of The Live Music Project and played at our launch gig back in April 2013 and have filmed a fantastic video at Trestle called ‘Schools Out’ so please check it out. They are booked to play again on 27th September when we all be raising a glass in tribute to Gary.

www.facebook.com/hightreasonuk?fref=tswww.youtube.com/watch?v=aakBz52afHQ

On a happier note I am very pleased to be involved in another fund-raiser for The Crescent in St Albans, our local HIV charity. On Sunday 21st September The Crescent will be opening its doors for a Garden Party/ Open Day with the opportunity to look around their premises and see what fantastic work Iain Murtagh and his team do to help people diagnosed with HIV through support & therapy. This is a self-funded charity with no NHS support

so they rely on the good people of St Albans to support them in what is a very worthwhile service. There will be drinks and tea and lots of cake!! And off course as I’m involved, some brilliant live acoustic music from the likes of Emma McGrath, Neil Stanton and more to be announced! For more details check out their web site here www.thecrescent.org.uk/

Lastly, some of you may already know this but (drumroll) I am soon to be presenting a show on Radio Verulam called ‘The Parsons Knows Local Music’ during which I will be playing only music from local bands & artists, chatting about upcoming gigs in the area and having guests in to play live on the show! I am so very excited about this and feel that it is a great opportunity to get more airplay for our local scene! I have started a facebook and twitter page in preparation so please like & follow!

www.facebook.com/theparsonsknows?ref=hl @RVparsonsknows Radio Verulam is a fantastic local resource with some great shows that are already supporting local music such as West Herts Drivetime with Danny Smith and Monday Music Lab with Alex McKay and RV Out & About with Ellie Ophiera so tune in 92.6FM or you can listen online here www.radioverulam.com

So here’s this months must see bands/artists!

1. Cicero Buck I am sooo loving this husband & wife duo at the

moment. Based Bedford way, I first saw them perform at the Alban Street festival in 2013 and have been keeping tabs on them since. Kristine Hughes has stunning vocals and their songwriting is fantastic and bandmate/hubby Joe Hughes co wrote a song called ‘No more I love yous’ which was off course a massive hit for Annie Lennox and listening to Kathryn’s vocals you can see why it suited Annie as well. I am currently obsessed with their latest

track called ‘Heavy Rain’ which has had a lot of you tube hits and it featured in an independent film called ‘Delicious’ a darkly comic romance, which is apparently a cross between Chocolate & Tie me up Tie me down ( one of my favourite films! ) They were kind enough to send me their EP which I have been playing a lot. I am hoping to get them to play for The Live Music Project in the future.

www.reverbnation.com/artist/fb_share/2581425 www.facebook.com/CiceroBuck/timeline

2. April BlueLocal lads with a nice funky vibe! Saw them at The Farmers Boy recently where they went down very well. With a few covers thrown in (2 x 45 minute sets!) and some great originals. They have guested on Alex McKays ‘Monday Music Lab’ on Radio Verulam and have a new EP out so please check them out. www.facebook.com/aprilbluemusic?fref=ts

3. Los Ladrones de AMORThese guys are based in Hertford and their hardworking & passionate front man Kevin Saunders is very active in the Hertford music scene with the likes of Castle Rock & The Musical Mystery Tour. Kev is a man after my own heart, doing some great stuff

Trestle Arts Base, Russet Drive, St.Albans, AL4 OJQ, 01727 850950 e: production@trestle.org.uk, www.trestle.org.uk @trestletheatre

for his local scene! I’ve not seen the band live yet but have seen some live footage and any band that have a song called ‘I wear black for Johnny Cash’ has my vote. A mix of country/punk & attitude! That’s me sold then! & I am very pleased to announce that they are playing ‘The Live Music Project’ on

Saturday 27th September so don’t miss it!!

4. StarseedzIt’s no secret that I love these guys! Gorgeous catchy tunes with superb harmonies all delivered with such warmth. They have been gigging a lot lately so I’m guessing I’m not the only one who thinks they’re fabulous! They have just released an EP called ‘Little Bird’ with 5 great tracks. This will most definitely be played on my new radio show!! You can get the EP at gigs or ask me & no doubt at Empire Records as well.. www.facebook.com/starseedzmusic?fref=ts
