London
21:00 - 22:00

Loose Ends, the London trio formed of guitarist and vocalist Carl McIntosh, vocalist Jane Eugene and keyboardist Steve Nichol, moulded their sound in the era of playful genre melding that directly followed disco's populist decline. Their uniquely eighties fusion of R&B, post-disco rhythm, & sensuous vocal performances were instrumental in defining what is now considered UK street soul. Instrumental too, was the glossy production aesthetic of Nick Martinelli, who worked closely with the group on five albums. This In Focus is a trip through the silken post-disco & pop of Loose Ends. This show is currently unavailable in the USA.

Maria & The Mirrors

Maria & The Mirrors

Maria & The Mirrors has been played on NTS in shows including Kit Records, featured first on 21 November 2012. Songs played include Gemini Enjoy My Life, Mudchute and Travel Sex.

MARIA & THE MIRRORS OMAR (PARLOUR RECORDS)

A weird tension runs through this record, a dichotomy between the harshly digital synth/bass noise that floods the speaker, and the organic tribal pulse pumped out by Maria & the Mirrors' twin drummers, chanting incomprehensibilities and slamming intricate rhythms on both sides of the disc. They've clearly studied their Pulsallama and their Liquid Liquid, and there's a certain Mary Chain ethos haunting the whole thing (if the Mary Chain had been raised by a lost African tribe), but really this sounds like nothing else coming out of London at the moment. Or anywhere else, for that matter - perhaps everyone's too scared to even try and make this kind of sound. Very, very interesting.
