Eat Your Own Ears – 2013

Archive for March, 2013

We’ve got TEEN propping up our Easter Weekend plans with an exciting free show at the Shacklewell. Fronted by Teeny Lieberson (formerly Here We Go Magic) the band are one of our favourite discoveries over the past year or so.

We roped them in to picking out some songs for us ahead of Saturday’s show and they cover an awful lot of ground, from Led Zep, to a ripping song by The Men, via some classic Al Green. Really great selections. Dive in below via links and videos.

Led Zeppelin - Rain song
Gary Numan - Metal
Pond - Eye Patterned Blindness

The Men - The Brass
Ghostface Killah - Camay

Ultraista - Gold Dayzz
Diana Ross and The Supremes - you keep me hanging on
Al Green- call me
Francis and the Lights - Eiffel Tower

Hospitality - Monkey
Steve Barron Quartet - Mother of us all

Dark Bells – Wildflower

Here’s a swirly new video for Dark Bells excellent tune Wildflower. Shooting guitar needles its way around a driving beat and Teneil Throssell’s yearning, elemental vocal. Great stuff. We can’t wait to see them at Handpicked, at the Roundhouse this Friday night. The trio also play Field Day.
