- Here are some links to people or sites that we like. If you think we might like you, send us an e-mail with your url on it. Or anything really. We like getting stuff.
- Sites for our bands:-
- Miss Pain: Brighton's premier band for exploring your mental clash between glamour and sophistication, and downright filth. Highly entertaining.
- Vermont: the
best site for finding out exactly what is going on with the world's best band
split by about a thousand miles.
Wintergreen: a band originating in Belgium, England, the USA and Wales. Let's hope they don't all go and live in their home countries - it'll be murder.
- Sites for other bands we like:-
-
The Boyfriends: the other band of
current Vermont
bassist Richard Adderley. Their lead singer Martin
will soon be an icon so go and see them before he gets twenty burly blokes in
as bodyguards.
The Futureheads: not that these lot need any more press, but we think they're ace. Especially the way Jaff claps when they play "Man Ray". - Hedz Jellmo: a band from Manchester who
play sort of dub/hip hop/ambient kinda stuff. Why they aren't huge I just don't
know. It must be a big CIA/MI5 conspiracy thing.
The Pipettes: the best post-modern, shit-kicking, take-home-to-your-mormon-parents-but-don't-let-them-watch-a-live-show girl group since... well since creation itself. Okay, maybe the thirties...
Schwervon!: Anti-folk answer to The White Stripes/Everything But The Girl/Bob Dylan and Joan Baez/Johnny and June Carter Cash/anyone else you can think of who go out with each other AND make great records. - Sites for other
record labels we like:-
Domino Record Co.: label that is quite possibly too cool for its own good.
Jeepster: the label home of many bands of high quality, including Belle & Sebastian. It has a rather interesting section on misheard lyrics that we might pinch if we've got the nerve.
Olive Juice Records: home to Schwervon!, Major Matt Mason USA, Prewar Yardsale, and other people who are folk and yet not so.
Shoeshine Records: set up by that stalwart of the Scottish indie scene Francis McDonald, these nice people also put out records by the remarkably fine Schwervon! to the people of the UK. - SL Records: the Scottish record label that is home to Ballboy, Degrassi and other fine recording artistes.
- Twisted Nerve: the infamous Mancunian label with pretty rabbit for a logo. Aaah.
-
Sites for people who've very nicely reviewed our records or bands:-
- Bliss Aquamarine: there's a review of Vermont's "The Kinetic" in Aquamarine 24. Go look!
-
Kitten Painting:
possibly the funnest (or funniest) review of a Vermont gig we've ever seen.
Fantastic. Hooray for Shaky!
Phlem Fanzine: a very vivid site that has some great reviews of Vermont (including the "Ins Kino" launch party).
Rough Trade: a monumental shop that occasionally lets us put our records in it. They also gave a nice review to our first release. Aah, bless 'em.
Strange Fruit: a lovely group of people who put on impressively cool yet disarmingly fun club nights and gigs. The site is particularly orange too. Now with added Crimes Against Pop.
Think Small: a great looking site that particularly like Vermont, even interviewing Colin and Sabine over the phone. The problem is that most of it's in Dutch, and we can't understand it. Oh well.
Sites for other people we like:-
The Fanclub (de): a new club in Dresden, Germany that is run by the marvellous Tom Sieber and Vermont's very own Colin Murphy. Go along and watch Colin play tasteless records!
La Rocka: the studio where Vermont recorded their very first single and the first release on the Tbilissi Recordings label. Not a bad place, though they did have to carry their gear up two flights of stairs.
Le Panic: excellent DJ who helps us with graphic design and that kind of thing. A sturdy fellow, as a character in a P G Wodehouse novel might say.
Pop-8: club run by Mario and Matthias of Vermont. Tremendously entertaining by all accounts.
