Fergus & Geronimo

Denton, Texas, home of the dew soaked sounds of Midlake, but also the fertile punk grounds that nurtured crazed 60's soul/beat heads Fergus & Geronimo.

Their Harder Than It's Ever Been 7" released on Woodsist last year was an all too brief blast of unashamedly upbeat power pop with a garage bent and one of Tally Ho's favourite releases of 2009.

Well they're cutting the apron strings for a brief stint of shows here in Europe, with three shows lined up in London as well as a show at the Midi Festival in the French Riviera (23rd July 2001). Slick!

Only one of the London shows has been confirmed so far, White Heat at Madam JoJo's on 20th July but check their Myspace for updates.

Meanwhile you can download a copy of the aforementioned 7" here (for sampling purposes only - buy it if you dig it, and if you can find it!)

Eat Skull = Tasty

Kiwi loving Portland residents Eat Skull were responsible for one of Tally Ho's favourite LP's of last year. Wild & Inside was a collection of heavy, organ led, spring-heeled pop gems that proved there is more to the 'Skull than their distortion pedals.

Well, they're back with a new 7" on underground label Woodsist 'Jerusalem Mall'. News is they've apparently signed for an LP with the label too, due out late in the year. In the meantime, head on over to their myspace here for more info on the new release and to (re) aquiant yourself with the awesome sounds of Wild & Inside.
