Sarah Rogers is a Seattle based 14 year old girl although she is an elder stateswoman when compared against the likes of Smoosh and Shisho! She has been recording with help from the Math and Physics Club and her songwriting/playing belies her fourteen years with the track Mitch and Anne emphasizing this point. Now in the process of setting a band up will we be seeing her on Matinee in years to come? Sarah Rogers - Mitch & Anne
No home page but she, like so many others this year, has a My Space page to stream her music.
CobSOn, based in Montpellier, released a web EP titled "Wasted" in August this year. There are certainly plenty of PJ Harvey based hints on The Man Who Knows but CobSOn shows her versatility (and the benefits of 11 years of piano training) on Bobby which reminds me of a Tori Amos in a 1950's nightclub. Not what I would normally listen too but a revelation all the same and further proof, if needed, that keeping an open mind is essential when listening to music.

Nixon sent me a new song a couple of months ago and to my shame I forgot all about it (sorry Albert!). Titled Little Miss Hyde it's Nixon at their lo-fi acoustic best. Hopefully they are now recording with a full band line-up and tracks from these sessions will surface soon.

Over the past year I have been plugging The Morrisons and The Legendary 10 Seconds. Ian (from both bands) is a bit prolific and has now turned up in another reformed band called The Psycho Daisies. Ian sent me an exclusive mp3 of a track taken from their forthcoming album "Grimbol Old Porker" and he writes:The name for the band comes from the b side of the Yardbirds single happening ten times years ago.(Both Graham and myself are big big Yardbirds fans.) The band first surfaced in Castle Cary back in the 1980s with Graham Moores playing guitar and Wilf on vocals. There is a picture of the original line up on Golden Pathway. One of the first releases on golden pathway records was a cassette album by the psycho daisies. The band split up years ago but started again last year as a recording project with Graham Moores on guitar, myself Ian Churchward on bass and vocals and Guy Bolt on drums. We also did one gig last year with a guest vocalist because I don't seem to be able to play the bass and sing at the same time!!!!
I understand there is another band in the USA also called the Psycho Daisies who sound very 1960s psychedelic. We're a bit more english folk rock psychedelic.
There is another track available as an mp3 on www.road-noise.net under the alternative indie rock section.
The Psycho Daisies - Jack White
