BBC Introducing Lancashire 28th October 2010

LISTEN AGAIN HERE

Idol Minds play live On this week’s BBC Introducing we had new live music in the studio from two Lancashire bands, and new music to open from Danny (Byrd is the word) Byrd.

First up we heard live music from Idol Minds. Originally from Morecambe (now all based in Preston) they gave an energetic performance and have a unique sound.

They chatted about their unique sound and how they’re hoping to fit into the new music scene, their upcoming gigs and recordings, and the mysterious man who is the elected water-boy. They play live next on the 2nd December at the legendary Blue Room in Blackpool.

Furtive Forty

Sean played a new track (which will feature in Sean’s Furtive Forty – the best 40 tunes from Lancashire which you’ll hear over Christmas) from the mysterious Zauwie Beamhead who is going to be hugely popular, check him out on youtube too.

On the phone tonight was Matt the front man from local band Sampras who got talking about the band’s festival appearances over the summer, the benefits of playing smaller, local gigs, and the recording that they’ve been doing recently. Matt told Sean about Liverpool’s lively music scene and their new song ‘Look Around’ which is going to be featured on a brand new EP.

Accrington collective Phrenic came down to the studio with their chaos pad, keyboards, mixers and a bucket of leads. We agreed that the lighting in the studio wasn’t quite ambient enough to be in keeping with their set, or live production as they call it.

After we turned the lights to mellow lighting and Phrenic played another of their musical mashups. They talked about their mis-spent youth in clubs, their time spent in too many bands, and their collective musical background. They finished off the show with their subliminal, minimal, ambient sound… the track was Penguin.

Listen again to hear more from this unique musical collective.
