Nancy Elizabeth Announces Two UK Shows With Homelife And Denis Jones
Published 8 July 2010 by BWL


Wigan songstress Nancy Elizabeth has announced that she will play two shows with her full band, alongside Homelife and Denis Jones. The first takes place in Manchester, the home town of all three artists, on September 9, with the second instalment taking place at London's King's Place Festival on September 12.

Homelife is Paddy Steer and Tony Burnside, and the duo released their latest album Exotic Interlude in 2009. Steer has regularly played in Nancy Elizabeth's band (and vice versa) and remixed last year's 'Feet Of Courage' single. Denis Jones, like Nancy, hails from Wigan, and his idiosyncratic performances have been a fixture of the north west's live music scene for several years.

An EP of specially recorded cover versions and remixes by the artists involved will be released by Manchester's Humble Soul Records to coincide with the dates.

Thursday 9 September - Band On The Wall, Manchester, UK (with Homelife & Denis Jones)
Sunday 12 September - Kings Place Festival, London, UK (with Homelife & Denis Jones)

Oh No Ono Dream Up New Video
Published 29 July 2010 by BWL


Oh No Ono have released a suitably entrancing video for single 'Internet Warrior', taken from this year's Eggs. Created by the team that brought you the similarly eye-catching clips for Efterklang's 'Polygyne', Colleen's 'The Happy Sea' and Vladislav Delay's 'Toive', this video is directed by Carolina Melis and Alessandro Monaco:

"The idea was to create a magical world: a mixture of organic forms and geometrical shapes. At time this video is like a journey into a vintage underwater dimension, then it suddenly turns into a graphical playground. There are no cuts, the idea was to create an ongoing continuous flow which starts with a macro view of a lobster and ends with a planetary view of the world. We started working on this video from a vintage book of diorama. We didn't story-boarded and planned, we just started with one image and we let this work grew day after day following the natural development of the animation. It's a very exciting and beautiful track and it has been a great pleasure to work on it."

Spin.com have premiered the video, which can be seen here:

And Dailymotion are also featuring it here:

'Internet Warrior' is available as a 12" and download EP featuring remixes by Caribou, Phenomenal Handclap Band, Shlohmo, Zambri and The Depreciation Guild (members of Pains Of Being Pure At Heart). Find out more here.
