That’s a good recipe in my book.

If it was a cocktail, would you drink it?

And they have lots more room to play in.

Been watching these for a couple of years or more. They’ve been quiet recently, but this was an emphatic return. Really upped the entire performance.

@@LouSmith Yes, compelling. And I like the Lillian Gish-Weimar Republic look xx

@@LouSmith ... and another one set for greatness, I think. You sure know how to pick 'em

Such a strong look. Amazonian.

Yeah. There’s a good stream of talent atm. I just focus on what I love, and that’s finding resonance with others too, so I’m a happy bunny.

That’s a strong claim.

@@LouSmith i stand by it tho.. geordie greep and his swing boys are truely a force to be reckoned with

ahora estás más alto?

Ronnie is a belter!

@@LouSmith sure it is.

I want to Add english teacher. The world biggest paving slab. This one and last dinner party prelude are 2 of my favourite albums of the year so far.

@niallq8447 i missed out on English teacher. I’ll check them out. Cheers. TLDP defo.

@@LouSmith great band. Lily Fontaine is a good vocalist.

Angus will be thrilled at that.

I’ve seem Jack on guitar more often than bass, so that’s normal, Sophie on piano was new for me though. Very cool, slightly honky.

Yeah. Must just be the synth angels interjecting.

A viewer with material! Woo!

Oh yes. We bring you only the best.

Thanks. Yes, my stats corroborate that. It’s regularly rating top five of my vids over time. It may well live to see an official release through Domino too one day, though they’re looking for another insecure men album first, then release this subsequently.

Yup. They’ve got a good thing going. Haven’t seen the current line up.

This is an A Void video mind.

@@LouSmith Hello, sir, late reply like the Americans in previous world war engagements. Sulk still have the girl singer, a lead guitarist dressed in crushed velvet 70s suit stick thin - looks the part, a black bass player and the drummer I can't remember. Very good.

@@CarloRoberto-qs7oi I think Lily and Eliot seem to be the core of Sulk, though they've changed it around a bit since I first saw them.

@@LouSmith Those State51 Factory videos of up & coming bands are pretty awesome. Getting a lot of info there, too. So much for me to catch up on after decades of 'retro' sounds...

Hey Ed. Hope you’re having a lovely time. We’ll save some for you.

They’re pretty out there this Bishopskin. As for the opening shot, I realised I’d missed my cue to be front of stage, andI love that song, so decided to film the approach. Most people in the windmill know me, and facilitate what I’m doing, and I gently tapped some shoulders to ease my passage. I wouldn’t get away with it at an away game.

It’s ’kin dental mate.

It certainly is. Alchemy is great too, and I love her song He's my Man. Just the right blend of sweetness and darkness in Sophie's lyrics

Yeah. Shame about the talkers. Tbf it was about the first warm night we’d had and the yard outside was full of excited folk, oblivious to the show unfolding inside. Most folk in the room were pretty schtum apart from the joiner ins 😅

Yes, really lovely intimate set.

Yeah. They’re definitely ready to tour. Adam and Fells will be finishing up their current tour with Fat white family tonight, so maybe they’ll concentrate more on Y again after that. Sophie is wonderful, and brings glamorous slightly unhinged brilliance in her lyrics and delivery. Watch this space for the unfolding story.

Thanks Mike. Did you watch the promo video? The teeth were a device we used in the dentist scene with brother Aaron. Link is in the description.

Thanks Jo. I have other songs from this session. It may be time to unleash them.

Woo!

Absolutely they were. I don’t think they hid the fact that CT were a major influence on them. There are a couple of clips here. Not as many as he deserves mind. I’ve seen him quite a few times more. He has regular residencies at the Windmill if you’re in London.

@@LouSmith that’s very cool! I’ve been a big fat whites ever since the first time I saw them in 2015. I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to find out about CT and Ben Wallers. I’d love to come and see the man in action, but alas, I live in Leeds. Hopefully one day!

@@samdrury2896 You live in Leeds, but you're not out seeing FWF play? I wish I could have been there. Leeds is my home town btw.

@@LouSmith I wasn’t able to go tonight unfortunately. Gutted! Always next time, I guess (I hope)

@@samdrury2896 Yeah, let's hope. Shame though. Were you there the last time they played there?

You are right in saying that, yes. Harry. He’s got so good on sax these days. I have a Pyongyang video awaiting publication actually, pending possible name change.

@@LouSmith Ooh, lovely. Caught them last month at the Windmill. Formal Sppeedwear were playing that night too - you must try and record them the next time they’re in London !

@DOGSPAWN thanks for the tip. I wonder where I was that night. I usually go to see Y at the Windmill wherever possible.

Haha. If only. I’d be seven in 1970 They are great though.

I think we are the same age or thereabouts(!) I was down the Windmill last night to see German synth outfit - Zimmer90 - very good.

@@CarloRoberto-qs7oi Nice. I'll keep an ear out for them. I'm a '63 model. :)

@@LouSmith I'm just a year older! Nice to know that our age group can still mix it with the kids in the hall. I feel an invisible glass barrier & the younger generation at gigs these days...

@@CarloRoberto-qs7oi Yeah. I guess I forgot to grow old. I have a teenage daughter, and friends in all age ranges, but the times they are a changing, and fast, and people are polarising along all sorts of lines. That's why I love and cherish the music community around the Windmill, the George, and other grass roots venues, as it's very inclusive and supporting.

Merci. Oui, très belle.

Yay! Glad to hear it.

Haha. OY! This is Y’s third name too.

Addictive too!

Yup! Me too.

There is one release so far ytheband.bandcamp.com/track/y Adam (on mostly guitar here) also plays guitar with Fat White Family, as has the drummer, Fells, so have been busy touring with them recently, but every time they hit the stage, they have new songs, or have reworked old ones to get them sounding super tight, and Sophie is growing in confidence as a singer. I'd love to see them do well.

You know it. Were you at that one?

@@LouSmithunfortunately not, i’m only 17 so i’m only ever at events that i’m photographing or my friends are playing and i get there early, nasos is too good at his job to let me slip through the cracks unfortunately, 3 more months!

@willyoufade i didn’t even think about that. Fair play, you still get to see plenty. Three months indeed.

Thanks so much Dave. I have nothing but love for this band. They’re so good. 😊

Haha. Thanks. Kept you waiting. 😉

🙌💜🙏

Great night all round. Misty is always a delight.

If you organise it, I’m sure she’ll come. 🙂

Somebody had to say it!

💜🙏

Francis Wolfe? There’s a couple of links in the description.

It will roll round soon enough.

@@LouSmith I adore the song “the tinker” and would die if you played it ❤️

Innit?
