Subtle is an Oakland, California based sextet, home recording its way to the far side of song. Since it’s genesis in 2001 they’ve recorded their first full length, “A New White” (for Lex Records) and the four season EPs (Unfortunately now out of print!) With one electronic drummer, one kit drummer, electric cello, 3 keyboards, 3 samplers, guitar, wind, and words, Subtle fashions a self sampled and live mic’d genre non-specific music. To which the terms rock, hip-hop, and electronic all apply. Their songs are made from re-sampled and re-approached improvisation. The poems there in are read, rapped, sung and meant by Adam ‘Doseone’ Drucker and his multi-tracked self. In the autumn of 2004 Subtle hit the road indefinitely, stopping only to sleep, eat, live and record their next record… “For Hero: For Fool”, which will be out on the 2nd October on EMI/Lex, followed by the single “The Mercury Craze” on the 16th October also on EMI/Lex.

Mr Hudson’s musical style has been described as a cross-pollination of hip-hop and reggae beats with some good old fashioned song writing (Reminds me a bit of my old band that kinda made it big in driffield... none of you probably knew about us, you know, not coming from driffield). Bored of guitar music Mr. Hudson sought inspiration from old vinyl’s and began to put his musical mind to work.

Mr. Hudson And The Library are currently working on their 1st studio album, but are in the mean time releasing a 4 track EP on Deal Real Records on the 16th October, which will be limited to 500 copies in CD and 7” format. To support its release Mr. Hudson and The Library will be doing a UK tour in various Libraries followed by shows supporting Vincent Vincent and Les Incompetents.

You can tell it's going to be good, all library based gigs are!

Superfuzz
Superfuzz are a recently formed band they have only played a few gigs so far, but they have gone really well. Tom Hilton the front man of the band give a really entreating performance with his wacky stage antics, powerful voice and high quality guitar playing. Danny Knowles on guitar, Will Illingworth on bass and Sam Knowles on drums back him up. Danny is a very good, consistent guitarist throwing out awesome riffs and powerful solos. Will is a guitarist/bassist extraordinaire adding more fun to an already blistering set. And on the drums there is Sam Knowles a small comedic talented drummer. At the moment Superfuzz are playing covers accompanied by their own songs, which are to a very high standard they have, plenty more hammering songs on the way. As a band they have the potential to become one of the biggest bands in the area success is imminent. They are really worth going to see.
