From: Myron 
Subject: Mojave 3 SXSW article

Here's an article from yesterday's student paper here at the
University of Texas at Austin.  Very informative and concise
article if you ask me!  I'm a little hurt that Rachel dismisses
Slowdive as "funny noises" however.
Myron



England's Mojave 3 perform rare show
Stephanie Trong
Daily Texan Staff

It's been two years since the London-based Mojave 3 have released
anything and fans have had the chance to hear new material in
person. Those who attended the band's March 21 performance at
the Electric Lounge during South by Southwest are several months
ahead of the game -- the upcoming album isn't scheduled for release
in England until next August, and the U.S. release date will be even
farther in the future.

Guitarist/vocalist Neal Halstead said the group (also comprised of
vocalist Rachel Goswell and drummer Ian McCutcheon) started
putting together demos for the new record as early as January 1997,
but since then, time has sort of disappeared. He said the group had
trouble finding the sort of environment it wanted to mix the
recording in and moved around quite a lot.

"There were a couple of points where we started mixing in studios
and decided that we didn't want to carry on, so things kind of got
put back because of that," said Halstead. 

With the album just completed, the band wanted some feedback,
and the Austin audience was the only city in the United States lucky
enough to offer this service. Mojave 3, on the independent record
label 4AD, is no longer licensed in America through Warner
Brothers. As a result, all future plans for a U.S. tour are currently
on hold, and the SXSW show was one of a kind. 

"It just came at a good time, because we've really just finished the
record and we haven't got a license in America anymore, so this is a
good opportunity to look for another deal out there," Halstead said.

The music unveiled last week sounded different than material from
the band's past. Since the release of their first record Ask Me
Tomorrow, Mojave 3 have expanded to five members with the
addition of another guitarist and a piano/organ player. The presence
of these new members added enough volume to shatter the quiet
ambience that had previously made this band so treasured. 

Every song was a strummy, upbeat lament spared of any subtle
moments. Sounding very much like a true Country & Western
group, one would think long-stretching highways and tumbleweeds
were prevalent in England.

Halstead said the new lineup provides a fuller sound. "Essentially
what we tried to do with the first record was to keep it quite minimal
and it just ended up being very acoustic. There's more to the new
record because there's now a feeling of a whole band."

The songs on Mojave 3's first record were indeed minimal. The
music on Ask Me Tomorrow reflected the aesthetics of the
wide-open space from which the band takes its name. In the desert,
against the backdrop of nothing but miles of sand, colors appear
more vibrant, the wind is louder, and the sun's heat is more
piercing.

Similarly, the soothing vocals, acoustic and slide guitar, and
brushed drums were used so sparingly that their effect on the
listener was magnified, free of unnecessary crowding and
complexity. The occasional burst of sound was like a bloom
amongst expansive nothingness, so breathtaking because of its
rarity. 

That said, one would never guess this band contains three former
members of Slowdive, the British effects-laden outfit that was once
a major player on the English pedal-hopping front. 

Instead of getting noisier and more earsplitting with age, the band
has altogether spared its audience of a need to wear earplugs, opting
for a softer sound that has previously been compared to the likes of
Neil Young, Mazzy Star and Leonard Cohen. 

"With Slowdive there was more emphasis on the actual production,
and we spent a lot of time in the studio must making funny noises,
really," Halstead said. "With Mojave we really wanted to try and get
a sense of intimacy."

well this is sorta off topic
when to radiohead tonite in houston 
i cried it was so good
and spiritualized was great too
but the funnything is
that the drummer (touring drummer only at the moment) for spiritualized said
that the real drummer is dating liz (formerly of the cocteau twins and now
working with massive attack) just had a child together last week

austin's free paper (the chronicle) last week had similar thoughts about

http://www.auschron.com - check the music section for their sxsw wrap-up.

Subject: colorwall@juno.com: Y107 in Los Angeles

--------- Begin forwarded message ----------
From: colorwall@juno.com

Shoegaze on commercial radio?  That's right!  Color Wall make their
commercial radio debut here in Los Angeles on Tuesday night at 11:00 pm. 
Listen to Y107 for interviews, music and give aways.  Sorry if this seems
self indulgent but I thought some of you might like to turn on the radio
and hear something besides ska.  Oh yeah,  the Martini Lounge show after
Swervedriver was changed to Wed the 8th at the Garage at 10pm.  Write me
for guest list spots.  

Never Lose that Feeling!
--------------------------------------------------------

Apologies for the cross post.   Jeff from Color Wall sent this in to the
Ride email list,
and i'm forwarding it out to a few of the lists i'm on.

I have their CD single (Flower EP), and it's absolutely fantastic.
3 songs, 15 minutes of shoegazing.    It's fantastic.   
I think they have the capabilities to make it big, the songs are quite
melodic, and pop,  but still they don't lose the shoegazing we all love.

If any of you are interested in the Flower EP, it's $5, and is available 
by sending a check to:

hey dave-

 did you mean you wanted the Slowdive/Ride tour 7"? 
 (It's an actual vinyl 7" and not a flexi)
 Ok that'd be cool. At the moment I'm trying to round 
 out my Catherine Wheel collection, so any Catherine 
 Wheel singles pre-Happy Days would be cool, preferably
 on CD format; heres a short list:

 show me mary 7"/cd-single
 crank cd-single
 black metallic cd-single
 i want to touch you cd single

 if you find any of these, i'd love to do a 1-for-1
 trade. I luckily picked up the 7" a couple weeks 
 back just in case anyone needed a copy.  

 cheers,

 john

yeah, ok, call me unhip, but I really can't figure out a lot of these 
terms people use for styles of music.  what exactly are the following 
terms, and don't just reference a particular band that I may never have 
heard of, but if that's all you can do, maybe I have heard of them, so 
give it a shot:

drum and bass:  (it must obviously be more than just drums and bass right?)
jungle:  ?
twee:  is this a vocal reference o r something else?
breakbeats:  ?

like i said, laugh if you want, all i know is shoegaze.  call me old 
school (if 91 is really that old school)

thanks
