Here's the first of a bunch of sweet summer nights on the Des Was A Bowie Fan dancefloor at Paper Dress Vintage, the blue touch paper lit by a foursome of Pop bands wired to the stars. It's also the "launch" of Des Was a Bowie Fan Radio, a 24 hours per day skull and crossbows blast of dreamy Pop from the top and bottom decks. Bringing the Shivers Inside between 8pm and 11pm with a mix of janglegaze, dreampop and "twinklegaze" will be The Death Of Pop, Drömstad, Arkless and Creepy Neighbour. The Death Of Pop have a swirling, atmospheric and summer-sweet sound with lyrical touches that play on your heartstrings. The band themselves call it “janglegaze”, dancing in the spaces between My Bloody Valentine, The Beach Boys and Teenage Fanclub. New single 'Pain is Needless' comes out on April 15th. https://soundcloud.com/the-death-of-pop/pain-is-needless Drömstad have a sound of howling Pop empathy that gets into your bones; a euphoric, melancholic jangle and a burning lyrical interior, matching the serpentine dreaminess of Slowdive with a vivid, sharp-edged soul. https://soundcloud.com/dromstad/leave-it Arkless play sweetly rollocking nocturnal "twinkle-Pop" that cuts, burns and sparkles with melody and poetry. Their 'Arkless' mini-LP, released on Barely Legal Records, is available via their Bandcamp. https://arkless.bandcamp.com/album/arkless Creepy Neighbour concoct nuggets of warm, summer-sweet balladry with a quivering TV Girl-esque shimmer and soul. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XARAC7ZvLZE Then at 11pm, Kerouac's bandanna wraps round the lampshade, Dai Dominoes adjusts his false teeth, and the dancefloor blazes to the sounds of Indiepop, New Wave, Post-Punk, Synth Pop, Riot Grrrl, 60s Soul and Rock'n'Roll till 3am.
