I saw The Envelopes again on Thursday night and they were excellent. Hopefully my review will be up on Sounds XP soon.
Dave Newton, ex Lemon Drop, e-mailed me regarding my Lemon Drops Site. He has found that VH1 have all the Lemon Drops videos bar one on-line. It took me back a few years watching them although the Derek Jarman directed video for "Out Of Hand" is still as poncey as I remember LOL! Dave also added that ex Lemon Drop bassist Marcus Williams is playing bass again with Vinny Peculiar along side ex- The Smiths drummer Mike Joyce & former Smiths guitarist Craig Gannon - in fact Marcus replaced Andy Rourke, who quit the band!
Martin from They Live By Night a band I featured back in August wrote to say that the band are now signed to Razzia Records in Sweden and their debut self titled EP is out in stores now. They have also made a comletely new website, all in English, because of the great demand from outside Sweden which I hope was in part due to me! Samples from the EP are online and are well worth a listen.
The mailbox has been busy this week! Angus from The Relationships e-mailed me with some news. He wrote that "the new CD by the Relationships, Scene, has just been released on Trailer Star Records of Nottingham. It's our second - the first was Trend, which came out on Twee Kitten Records of California. I guess it counts as C86-type indie - one of my old bands was Razorcuts and the singer was in the Anyways." Sadly no previews are available but given the pedigree mentioned it could be worth a gamble. You can buy it from the band's site for £10 - Paypal accepted.
Russell who runs Freedom Road Records writes to say the Wallpaper Silhouettes album, "Echo The World (We Live In)", is available for just £5. This offer is for September only. I have featured this Norwegian band a few times before and if you like Orange Juice/Josef K influenced bands then they could well be for you.

Wallpaper Silhouettes - The Marauder
Phew!
