Watch a video for The Gallopers, a track from the new Would-Be-Goods album Tears Before Bedtime: "With a mix of 60s baroque pop and its 90s follow-up twee, the band dresses themselves in full-colour melodies, creating a buzz without any side effects, save for the urge to play the album again. And again."

The Bullfight: rescheduled show in Nijeveen
Dutch folk noir band The Bullfight had to reschedule a couple of shows, due to a mishap for guitarist Thomas van der Vliet, who broke his finger. The February 28 show in Nijeveen @ De Vegafabriek has been moved to October 31. Emma Hessels is the support act.
Expect many song from their latest album 81 Bedford St., a soundtrack for a film noir movie that does not exist: "Most soundtracks are connect-the-dots affairs, with a few well-known popular songs and a run-of-the-mill theme that a composer won't lose any sleep over to create to something memorable. Not so for 81 Bedford St. on which the band's resident writer and multi-instrumentalist Thomas van Vliet went above and beyond with a bunch of songs that are closely linked to create a narrative, but also can hold their own and be enjoyed as such. There is jazz, industrial noise, torch singing, avant-garde, pastoral violin driven baroque pop, and much, much more."
Nell Davies: "Never Ever Ever" video
Nell Davies made a video for Never Ever Ever, a track from her The End of the World or Whatever EP: "Part riot girrrl, part pop artist, Nell Davies attacks her material with a hammer and a smile. Look no further when in need of a song telling people to fuck off. This kind of ramshackle catchiness is irresistible."
