I went to The Water Rats last night and saw a top gig. @theloftuk.bsky.social with superb support from @mtmiseryband.bsky.social and @altazumaband.bsky.social Thanks go to @precrecs.bsky.social for being a top bloke too🤗
Hello! Well I'm back!! Here's Episode 130 of The 157 Show! It's full of new tunes, a review of some gigs that I've been to plus of course the Hanley Hoedown too! Please enjoy responsibly!😎 www.mixcloud.com/Darren157/th...
It’s always a bit special when you see friends play a big support slot at a decent sized gig. @europeansunmusic.bsky.social were supporting House of All last night. So seeing Rob Pursey and Steve Miles step up to do the honours was just fantastic. They went down pretty well too I think😎
A bold T-shirt design from House Of All from last night’s gig at Oslo, Hackney. The band were absolutely imperious. A stomping juggernaut of rhythmic, propulsive noise! Rarely do you experience a crowd that is so transfixed by the spectacle in front of them! They are a must see band😎👍🏻

Sunday night chill out with this gorgeous record Julia Jacklin Pre Pleasure
And so to another day of records from my loft and it’s a full case of treasure first up! The Smiths (part of my collection fills this case, there’s more in another box!)
The last record for tonight and it’s from local “heroes” (and in latter days friends) The Dentists 😎 The Dentists Some People Are On The Pitch They Think It’s All Over It Is Now @bobc1965.bsky.social
It’s a very long time since this one got a spin! Going back to my O-Level years now with this punk classic Siouxsie &The Banshees The Scream
A mid-evening compilation album having a well deserved listen right now. @skepwax.bsky.social Under The Bridge 2
A random pick from the box that I’m unpacking right now. Coincidence? Well yes actually 😉 The Fall Nord-West Gas A This Nation’s era compilation LP from Germany
But first up it has to be this one… The Fall Live At The Witch Trials
And so into the loft to retrieve the first three random record cases. Pot luck produces such goodies as @pjharvey.net Siouxsie &The Banshees and The Fall😎
Here’s the last two records from the “not yet played” pile! A7” EP from Helen Love and the new single from Blueboy.
And here’s a 10” LP from Coup Dur. It’s a fantastic blend of twee indie pop and yé yé inspired style songs. Released of course by @precrecs.bsky.social 😉 Coup Dur The English Want…Coup Dur
Here’s a band that you may not know. Cult Figures. I was very disappointed to miss the album launch gig in Hackney on Wednesday due to being unwell. By all accounts it was a cracking show! Cult Figures Reports Of People @precrecs.bsky.social
Here’s one that is an as yet, unannounced pre-release from @precrecs.bsky.social It’s 15 tracks and blooming marvellous (and I’m only part way through Side 1😎)
Next up are the gorgeously lush sounds of Carl & Kat Mann. A beautifully layered and textured album 😎 @shapeslikepeople.bsky.social Under The Rainbow
After a day spent in A&E yesterday I’m again able to play some of my new records. At long last, here’s one that I’ve been aching to play. House Of All Inklings
After almost 4 months, my record player is out of the loft (I've re-decorated my front room thoroughly) and today I've been able to play some records for the first time since before Christmas. Here's the records I've bought but haven't had the chance to play yet!
Cat owners: I’m making a music video with The Catenary Wires & we’re after some pics. Specifically: - you under your cat - your cat on its own (whole cat, pls: head, paws, tails etc) + the names of you & your cat If you’re up for it, pop them in the replies. We'll use as many as we can. Thanks!
