i'm no genius, i'm the first one to admit that. some how i've gotten a degree, but let's face it, i didn't put any amount of effort into it, i bunked classes as and when i saw fit and used any means neccesary to get extensions on coursework. and where has that got me? not very far. my life right now consists of me making pubescent boys cry on call of duty and watching my dogs fight one another.
so by that admission its evident i'm a fully fledged moron, and thanks to thee ludds when ever i catch myself doing something exceedingly stupid y'know walking into a door frame or standing on a plug in the dark. i take solace in the fact that 'i'm a moron.'
any way enough whimsical bullshit. here is the nitty gritty stuff.
thee ludds are something of a different direction for tye die. for starters i've met them. they hail from in an about the midlands. they all go to university at demontfort in leicester, they're also all lovely but that's a given with people from leicester.
the whole 60's psych revivalist sound is refreshing, and i show my ignorance when the only comparisons i can make are thee oh see's and most things billy childish ever did. go on, listen to their tracks or see them live thats because that is the vibe you get, an impressive showcase in organ driven 60's psych pop.
we've tied (oh that so should be a pun) them down to a 6 track cassette out before xmas, it'll aslo be available on cd from their own label hodad.
ace yeah?
