Guided*
Hailing from the Cannes of N.Ireland, Bangor
(it‘s not really like Cannes), Guided* produce a sound
on ‘Pistols Drawn…’ which belies their young
age.
We don’t know their real names so
for now Maccers, Wild Bill, Man-ilow and Billatron will have
to do, although they probably have really ordinary names like
Ricky.
‘Pistols Drawn…’
captures the band at their ethereal, heartfelt best. We at
No Dancing heard the demo version and loved it. Expecting
to hear it was Mew or some other Scandinavian band, hearing
that they came from Co. Down came as quite a shock. News that
they were unsigned too didn’t go unnoticed. So here
they are with this release.
Kidd Dynamo
Kidd Dynamo started in June 1999. Back
then it was just a guy called Colin Campbell with a guitar
and drum machine. He recorded songs on an 8-track and played
his music at a few acoustic clubs around Belfast.
A demo tape 'New Space' featuring 4 songs
followed in October. It received a very positive reaction
in some local magazines around the city. The lead track was
also featured on an Italian compilation called 'Beware of
the Ricochet'
The first show as a group happened in a
backstreet Belfast bar in December 1999. People were beginning
to take notice. Listening to the quiet emotive power behind
the songs. Within the space of a few months Kidd dynamo were
being applauded by virtually every journalist in town.
In August 2000 Kidd Dynamo recorded a live
session for 'The Session In Northern Ireland'. They played
shows with JJ72, Johnathan Richman and The Webb Brothers.
Colins acclaimed solo performances have seen him support Joan
Armatrading, David Kitt and Sophia. The Kidd Dynamo track
'Like The Cars' won the 'Across The Line - Demolition Derby'
competition in May 2001 as a result they supported My Vitrol,
Wilt and Gary Lightbody (Snow Patrol) in the Conor Hall, Belfast.
The entire live set was broadcast on radio the following week..
The latter half of 2001 resulted in Colin
making his London debut, touring the UK with The Reindeer
Section and live shows in New York City with Ian Archer. Kidd
Dynamo's debut single 'I Am A Landslide' was released in October
to rave reviews and considerable airplay.
Kidd Dynamo is currently hiding out in
New York City...
Riff Randells
The Riff Randells are three girls playing
teenage punk. Kathy's on guitar, Felicity's on bass, and Anne-Marie's
on the drums. They've been playing shows since the summer
of '99 and have become Vancouver’s favorite leave-you-in-the-dust
trio, writing hits and hitting the road as often as they can!
