LIST 165 - 17/07/15 (Indietracks 2015 special – part one)
Hello there,
Yes, that favourite time of year has very nearly come around again, with a railway museum buried in the heart of the east midlands all set to do its very, very best impersonation of a heaven on earth for indiepop devotees for a ninth straight year. A week today (the 24th), Indietracks 2015 is go.
(Or should that be is "Go!", given the presence of The Go! Team in the line-up this time around?)
Here, then, is the first of two Lists that between them will feature as many of this year's performers as can be squeezed in. Friday night headliners Cinerama kick things off here, too - and yes, "Mystery Date" did feature on the last Wedding Present album Valentina. Everything on the new Cinerama album appeared on that album, in fact - the former is a complete musical reworking of the latter, thus realising a long-held ambition of David Gedge to give one of his long-players such a treatment.
Other than Amelia and Rob in their current Caternary Wires guise, the closest thing to a Sarah Records presence in the 20th anniversary year of that seminal label's cessation is the set by The Luxembourg Signal, who are effectively erstwhile Sarah artistes Aberdeen by any other name. Will frontwoman Beth Arzy be accompanied to Butterley by other half Bobby Wratten? No idea. If so, will he be talked into performing an impromptu live set? Judged on a recent podcast interview with Pete Paphides, sadly almost certainly not. We can but dream, though...
