Hello GoodBye Show info – Saturday 21st May 2011

Post-punk iconoclasts The Mekons join us to perform live in session on Resonance FM this Saturday lunchtime.

With a new album (Ancient & Modern) set for imminent release plus a documentary in the pipeline by filmmaker Jon Angio (Revenge of The Mekons), the collective of artists and musicians that comprise The Mekons are thankfully showing no signs of shipping back to Venus. In 1978 The Mekons’ debut single ‘Never Been In A Riot’, was denied distribution by Rough Trade after they deemed it too lo-fi and scratchy for the common or garden post-punk punter, yet despite this ignominious beginning the group are currently in their 5th decade and still going strong. Tune in to hear their distinct brand of barnstorming, politically charged, country-punk music.

The deXter Bentley Hello GoodBye Show broadcasts live between noon and 1.30pm on 104.4 FM in Central London and on-line via: www.resonancefm.com

Hello GoodBye Show info – Saturday 14th May 2011

Returning to the show once more are the scintillating London based trio The Wave Pictures, while making a debut on the show we also have Broken Shoulder.

The Wave Pictures are a prolific London based trio who play pop music that is infused with a healthy, heady rush of youthful abandon. Frontman David Tattershall has a distinctly idiosyncratic stream of consciousness quality to his lyrics that is both melodic and playful. The group conjure up a sound that is slightly reminiscent of the New York new wave scene of the late ‘70’s (with both early Television and Talking Heads springing to mind.) The band are currently undertaking a nationwide tour of the UK to promote their LP ‘Beer In The Breakers’ (Moshi Moshi)

Broken Shoulder is the aching pseudonym of Neil Debnam from Fighting Kites. Conceived when he was out of action with a broken shoulder, Debnam lent in the darker shade of his influences; electronic and noise records from the likes of Tim Hecker, Ashtray Navigations, Core Of The Coalman and a wealth of Japanese experimental/improvisational music (Chihei Hatakeyama, Taj Mahal Travellers, Himeno Sayaka). His debut LP “Broken Shoulderrr” (Audio Anti-Hero) is a Lo-Tron collection of noises, ditties and misplaced notes sewn together by fuzz and feedback. It’s a unique record that evolves with each listen and has a shelf life longer than UHT milk.

Hello GoodBye Show info – Saturday 30th April 2011

The honeymoon is over! 

Performing live in session on Hello GoodBye this afternoon are The Windsors and The Choo Choo Trains.


The Windsors rose from the ashes of the legendary Kenny Process Team. Simon King (guitar), Matthew Armstrong (bass), 
Phil Bartai (keys) and Paul May (drums) play jewel-like tunes written specifically for the band by Kevin Plummer, the genius tunesmith behind KPT. “The music of Plummer and cohorts remains of interest to fans of forward-looking electric guitar music with a rock base, and stylistically is somewhere between the precision control of surf rock groups such as the Ventures and the almost classical compositions Captain Beefheart created in collaboration with guitarists such as Zoot Horn Rollo and Gary Lucas.” Eugene Chadbourne

The Choo Choo Trains is the most static band in England, the best band in the world. They are Veronica, Emma and Sarihi and they play music for the heart and soul. They have supported bands like Television Personalities and Wet Dog and have also received much praise from Kurt Cobain’s wheelchair pushing friend Everett True. The Choo Choo Trains is dedicated to Elvis Presley, the King of Rock’n’Roll.

Tune in between noon and 1.30pm on 104.4 FM in Central London or on-line via: www.resonancefm.com

Hello GoodBye Show info – Saturday 23rd April 2011

Brixton and Bristol are both represented in equal measure this afternoon on Hello GoodBye, from the West Country we have Siddy Bennett and from South East London The No Frills Band.

The South London Press recently described The No Frills Band as ‘ramshackle folksy Brixtonites’, the group play Irish, Welsh, English and Scottish tunes, American old time, bluegrass and western swing, Greek stuff, Turkish stuff, French tunes, Yiddish tunes, East European tunes and Scandinavian tunes, and some old country songs.

Siddy Bennett is poignant, poetic and often lyrically compared to the greats of Laura Marling and Sandy Denny. Her delivery, assured with the musicianship of her exceptional (violin included) band, ranges from upbeat, raucous, cider-infused festival dance music to epic, thought provoking folk ballads.

Tune in between noon and 1.30pm on 104.4 FM in Central London or on-line via: www.resonancefm.com
