MAP

Map (Crayola and Emil), mentioned in Rock Sound who magazine called us "Map - the beautifully glowing post-rock adventurists from Brighton." Part of the Org-an-ised Single Series on Org records, the single also featured bonus tracks by The Murder Of Rosa Luxemburg, The Mass, Cay (unreleased), Three Children Of Fortune and Jon Poole (Cardiacs/Wildhearts)."

 

Genetic Malfunctions Triggered By Events is the name of the awesome Map album whose release will finally be forthcoming on Adronalin. 5 years were spent recording it and it was the most special thing, a culmination of a very creative musical partnership.

CELEBRICIDE

The album "See The Bad Nurse Make Disease" which is actually a reverse speech quote from George Bush has literally just been pressed up by Bad Nurse records. I don't have the words to describe the stunning power of this cd. Even Nick Cave came to see Celebricide play in Brighton. There aren't many groups I can think of who utilise the narrative form to such stunning effect apart from the aforementioned Mr Cave.

 

"Brighton’s Celebricide sing about child abuse, contract killings and self-immolation in a way that forces the listener to address their own complicity in a culture where such things seem increasingly ordinary. As their name suggests, they’re on a mission; using shock tactics to break the habit of vicarious living, sleepwalking through life and the dream of fame that’s really the ultimate consumer ambition: to finally become a product yourself.
“…In the future, everyone will be anonymous for fifteen minutes…”
A 5-piece (plus, tonight, Sadie of La Momo on backing vocals), Celebricide musically recall Pulp, The Fall, or Magazine; guitars and keyboards churning up a relentless but darkly melodic groove over which frontman Tim Leopard recites his nasty little tales of blasphemous reality. Looking more like the pub bouncer than the lead singer, Tim is a frightening and compelling presence. Speaking calmly, but carrying a metaphorical big stick, he spits out his words like they disgust him, falls to the floor repeatedly like a string-cut puppet, or stands blankly catatonic at the side of the stage. There’s something of Chris Morris about both his performance style and his twisted yet strangely moral worldview. Did I mention that Celebricide have a sense of humour?
“They’ll. Never. Stop. Us.”
...No-one since The Birthday Party has sliced through to the heart of darkness with such gleefully unflinching zeal. Tonight, truly, this ain’t rock n’ roll; this is Celebricide.

La Momo

Crayola can be seen performing with La Momo across the planet right now using the highly unlikely pseudonym, Chris! Click here for more

La Momo have worked with Gordon Raphael (The Strokes) on some songs as well as Kid Loco who did some mixes. There's another one he's done on his site. (go to mix no. 3.) Cristian Vogel was also rumoured to be doing some mixes for the band.
Here's a La Mômo gig reviewed by Joyzine.
Claire Kember played La Momo tracks on so many of her radio shows on Juice 107.2fm and on totallyradio. For those of us who loved John Peel, here is another person with that nose for new music, whether or not it's PR'ed. Everett True has also played La Momo on his Totallyradio Plan B and Careless Talk Costs Lives shows and written plenty of nice things about the band.
Claire Sturgess has played La Momo on her Xfm show as well as the late, great John Peel on Radio One.

Departure Lounge

Bluemood longtime Departure Lounge devotees from NYC have deemed it appropriate to put up a Crayola track on their fine site. So thanks for that, people, it's very much appreciated.
Furthermore, on a Departure Lounge note, their track "Aloneagainand" features on the soundtrack to the movie, The Butterfly Effect.
Channel 4's "Teachers" comedy drama Christmas Special featured the Departure Lounge song, "Christmas Downer."
