We travel  to Rio de Janeiro. It is 1994. It is the summer. Later that year Brazil would be World Cup Champions for the 4th time.

It is at this time that Zezinho, Marcelo Pires and Alexandre “Dub” decided they wanted to record some songs. When at the studio they notice they are lacking something in their sound, a second guitar. Well, no problem, Jorge who works at this particular studio (don’t know the name) can play the guitar. Now we have a four-piece. Terrible Head Cream was born.

On Soundcloud there are recordings from this period. An album called “Like a Blue Olive” dates from 1994. I don’t know if this was properly released. I don’t think it was. But 8 songs were recorded: “After and Before”, “Leticia”, “Roundabout”, “Alliviated”, “Ália”, “Light Now”, “Pumpkin Days” and “Sibyl Vane”.

The band’s shoegaze influences shine on these tracks.

In 1995 the band becomes a trio as “Dub” leaves the project and continue recording demo tapes. More tapes are recorded like “Pink Smoke / Orange Vodka” that had twelve tracks: “Anything”, “In the Cold”, “So Close to You”, “Stay in my Dream”, ” Summer Days”, “Burning Eyes”, “I’m Going to Love You”, “The Smile of a Dead”, “Blood Yawner”, “Ália”, “Losen Senteces to You” and “Untitled”. “Dub” still played bass on thesee reccordings.

From what I understand another tape was recorded in 1996 called “Do What You Want” but I don’t think the songs are on Soundcloud. On this last one the bassist was Duda, an old friend of the band that used to play soul music.

All of these demo tapes were distributed by the legendary Brazilian label Midsummer Madness.

During their time the band played few gigs, just 4 total. They were at Sacristia, Sem Destino, Bang! and a pub in the city’s Zona Oesta alongside the band Cigarettes.

In 1997 Francisco Kraus, bassist of the classic band Second Come, would join them as their bassist…

And then silence..

Well not really. We know that Marcelo Pires and Francisco Kraus would start a new band called Jess Saes, but that is another story.

Who do my carioca friends remember Terrible Head Cream? Would love to learn more about this band!

Terrible Head Cream – The Smile of a Dead

Here’s an interesting find on Soundcloud. 14 songs by this obscure but fine sounding shoegaze band from Washington D.C.

Razor 18 was Sarah Azzarah on vocals, Ivan Pongracic on guitars, Bill Fantegrossi on bass, Rob Monn on guitars and a revolving door of drummers including Tim Soller, Ben Azzara, Greg (no last name) and someone that it seems the name has been forgotten.

It is Rob Monn who uploaded the tracks 7 years ago. He tells a little bit about the band…

He mentions that he moved to D.C. and less than a year since moving there he was already in the band. Where did he come from? Doesn’t say.

He does say that he played a few venues including the legendary The Black Cat and also the 9:30 Club. He also says that the band may have burned down a place called ArtsLab. How did that happen?

The recordings that are available here come from tapes. They are from sessions at the American University and Evil Genius Studios and most of these were recorded by Rob Christensen.

The songs available are “P Street Beach (version 2)”, “La Llarona”, “Queen Bee”, “Wake”, “Carrying Hostile (version 1)”, “Temple (version 2)”, “Chroma”, “Flowers on the Lawn”, “Carrying Hostile (version 2)”, “P Street Beach (version 3)”, “P Street Beach (version 1)”, “Temple (version 1)” and “Flowers on the Lawn (instrumental)”.

On his Soundcloud account he has tons of other recordings, solo recordings, and also with his mates.

Looking for more information I see that the band shared a gig with Chisel and The Ropers (!), a favourite band of mine, at The Black Cat on May 26, 1995. There’s a scan of the flyer here.

That was not the only time they played there. I find another flyer of them playing there on July 28 (not sure of the year) with Your Majesty.

That’s what I could find. I hope we can find more details, wondering why they didn’t get to release any records at all!

Razor 18 – P Street Beach (American University version)

Was the band called Exact Setting? I am not sure.

I think it may have been called that. There are four recordings on Soundcloud and they are part of a demo dating from 1991. The title is “Exact Setting”. Take your guesses.

The songs on this demo tape were “This Feeling”, “Cutting Edge”, “Standing” and “Overwhelmed”. They were recorded at Richard Allan Studio on June 1st of 1991.

The account owner goes under the name “bowenjaybee”. The location of the account says Dundee, Scotland. There are tons of songs.

There is barely any information about these recordings though.

Most are demos dating from the decade of the 90s. There are different styles. My favourite by far are the Exact Setting ones.

I think there might have been a band called Radius between 1997 and 1998, though there are recordings too dating from 2017. Highwired seems like another band the owner of the account might have been involved in the nineties.

It is all a mystery here. But these tracks are worth checking out. Who would know anything else about these Dundee band?

Exact Setting – This Feeling

I first heard of Photo Jenny thanks to their 2000 7″ EP on Elefant Records titled “A Japanese Present For You” (ER-222). I thought it was the band’s only release for years. I never looked into it. Now I look at Discogs and I notice I’ve missed many records, many songs, by this Japanese band that took their name from a Belle & Sebastian song.

The 7″ I mentioned had four songs, “Rainbow Dolly” and “Clover Chain” on the A side and “Beautiful Girl” and “Painted Knees” on the B side. This band was actually a duo that formed 3 years before, in 1997, by Satomi Takeuchi who sang and played the melodeon and metallophone and Tetsuya Kobayashi who played  guitar and bass.

Previously, in 1998, the band had self-released a tape titled “Ladybird Go Home” that I’d love to listen one day as it includes a cover of one of my favourite bands, The Would- Be-Goods. This tape had these songs: “Do Me a Favor”, “Trip Pop”, “Watermelon Crush”, and the aforementioned cover of “Perfect Dear” on the A side. The B side had “Blow Up Your Funny Face”, “Skinny Guinea Pig”, “Umbrellas Go Round” and “Ladybird”.

The band also started to contribute songs to compilations in 1998. “Blow Up Your Funny Face” ended up on “Sunshine Pop Show!! Vol. 2” released by Sunshine Pop (SP-008) aand “Watermelon Crush” was on “Pop Japanese Style!” released by Flavour of Sound (TFCC-87589). Both were Japanese releases.

The following year, 1999, the band would release a mini-album titled “Tier Quartett” on the Left Bank label (LBCD-03). This mini album included 8 songs, “Do Me a Favor”, “No One Brings a Flower”, “Clover Chain”, “Watermelon Crush”, “Blow Up Your Funny Face”, “Window Painting”, “Ladybird” and “Y’Aura T’il de la Neige a Noel?”. Many songs from the tape. I wonder if that tape demo served the purpose of getting the attention of the label?

In the year 2000 the band started working with Minty Fresh Japan. With them early that year released thee mini-album “Painted Kites” (MFJ-1001). Five tracks appear on this CD, “Painted Kites”, “Waiting for the Dawn”, “Rainbow Dolly”, “Umbrellas Go Round” and “Beautiful Girl”.

“Beautiful Girl” also gets included in Minty Fresh Japan’s compilation LP “Get Yer La-La’s Out 2000 Vinyl!!” (MFJ-2000). On the same label, this same 2000, we find the song “Teenage Phase”. It was on the compilation CD “Minty Fresh Japan Compilation Vol. 1 A Small, Good Thing” (MFJ-1002).

That same year on the CD comp “Trolley Bus Music Tour” released by Trolley Bus (TB-001) they contributed the song “Winchester Monday”. Trolley Bus was the label ran by Yoshi from Aikagi!

2001 sees the band release a split CD with the wonderful Birdie (that band fronted by Debsey from Dolly Mixture that I dream of seeing live one day). The split CD was released by Minty Fresh (MFJ-1006) and It Records. Photo Jenny contributed 2 songs, “Bizarre Dream” and “Marshak”. Both were mastered by Tetsuya Kase at Bazooka Studio. Birdie also contributed two songs.

“Marshak” was an EP that came out in 2001 on Minty Fresh Japan (MFJ-1007). Again five songs, “Bizarre Dream”, “How Much Do I Love”, “Teenage Phase (Album version)”, “Marshak” and “Empty Church”. I see ‘album version’ so I wonder why they never released a proper album?

Lastly in 2016 the band had the song “Beautiful Girl (2000)” on “Everybody Knows? Radio Sessions 1997-2014″ a 3CD boxset that came with a DVD that was released by Travelin’Word (QFCT-1001). For those unaware Everybody Knows was a radio program on Shibuya FM.

But wait, there’s another release that came out on Lil’ Red Wagon. It was a split 7” titled “Slumber Party EP” (LRW 08). This came out in Canada but I don’t know what year it was. The interesting thing here is that they shared the split 7″ with the great All Girl Summer Fun Band. And it is on the A side that Photo Jenny appears with two tracks, “Winchester Monday” and “Umbrellas Go Round”.

There is a Tetsuya Kobayashi that is a producer/composer/lyricist. Could it be him? He has worked in a lot of Japanese shows and animes. Would it be the same one as in Photo Jenny?

What about Satomi Takeuchi? I couldn’t find anything else about her, at least related to music.

As with Japanese bands it is a bit difficult to track the musicians down. I don’t know what happened to the duo of Photo Jenny. Why did they call it a day? Did they play many gigs? There’s barely any info on the web, so any help will be great.

Photo Jenny – Watermelon Crush

Kingston upon Hull or just Hull. Many bands from this town have been featured on the blog. Today I want to share details about Closer than Comfort who I didn’t know anything about until a few hours ago!

Indiepop fan Joel Dantas has a Soundcloud with lots of great treasures. There he had uploaded a song called “Closer then Comfort” by a band with the same name. Mentions that it comes from a tape. But that’s all the info he has shared.

But there is another Soundcloud account, one by Richard Hood from Hull. He has uploaded 2 other songs by Closer than Comfort, “I Think She Knows It” and “Turn to Me”.

Again there is little info, but at least we know that Richard was part of the band. The photo of the band shows 4 guys and a girl. A five-piece.

We also know that “Turn to Me” was recorded at Fairview Studio in 1988. That “I Think She Knows It” was written by Andy Blair. One thing I suspect is that Richard Hood was the vocalist. He was the vocalist on many of the other projects on his Soundcloud. These projects include Radio, General Wolf and The Sons of Freedom.

Then I found something interesting. I don’t know if it is complete, but it is a gig list by the band. We know that they played at least 4 gigs. On July 31 of 1986 they played quite a gig at The New Adelphi. The lineup included The Gargoyles, Pink Noise, Vicious Circle, The Velvetones and Johnny and the Carbon Chain. Then on January 28 of 1987 at The Wellington in Hull they played with The Last Supper Dance Band.

On February 11, 1987, they played at The Wellington alongside The Last Supper Dance Band. A month after, March 11, at the same venue they played again with The Last Supper Dance Band and The Kicks.

Then I find more stuff from Richard Hood and figure out where the song Joel had found. Richard has a Youtube account. There he has uploaded the song “Closer than Comfort”. The best part of it is that the band lineup is shared!

Andy Blair was on guitar and vocals, Martin Hyde on drums and Darren Gordon on bass. The track was recorded at Angel Studios in 1985. And Richard Hood? Why is he not listed?!

But that’s not all. The songs “Turn to Me” and “I Think She Knows It” were actually released! Wow, didn’t know! They were released on Label Records (LAB001) in 1989 as a 7″ vinyl single. Produced by Steven Larkman and remixed by Fran Ashcroft.

Discogs also lists two demo tapes. Wow. The first one dates from 1985 and had 5 songs “17 Tomorrow”, “Shallow”, “Closer than Comfort”, “If Dreams Come True”, “20 to 5”. These 5 songs are repeated on the B side.

The other demo tape is from 1987 and is titled “8”. It had 4 songs, “Passion is Poison”, “Let You Runaway”, “I Think She Knows It” and “Poor You”. Again the songs are repeated on the B side. This demo was produced by Steve Larkman who had worked with The Bloody Marys and Red Guitars.

How cool! Lots of interesting stuff I ended up finding out.

But of course this is not the full picture. We dont know much about the band still. So here I am hoping for Hull indiepop fans to share anything you remember about them. Would be good what happened to them, and especially I am terribly curious if Richard Hood was or wasn’t part of the band!

Closer Than Comfort – Turn to Me

Matinée Recordings has an amazing catalog. I’m not saying anything new.

In the early days there was a French band that released with them, a 7″ single and an album, and then it seems they disappeared. They were called Ego and they were great.

The 7″ was titled “The Question Mark” and it was Matinée’s 2nd ever release (Matinée 002). It came out in 1998 and included three songs, “Do You Want to Be My Love ‘Till 1998?” on the A side and “What Am I Supposed to Do?” and “Can’t You See I Love You?” on the B side. All songs had a question mark, hence the EP name.

On the back of the sleeve we find the names of David, Emmanuel, Marc and Yvan. We see that on the record other friends of them played, Caroline, Marie, Pierre, Ludovic, Philippe, Romain C. and Stéphane.

Then an address in Clapiers, France. Where is Clapiers? It seems it is close to Montepellier I read this about this small town: “Located to the north of Montpellier, this little village was the home of wine makers for centuries.
Now, Clapiers has developed considerably. One of the jewels of this village is its forest. It covers 170 hectares. A paradise for all walkers, hikers and bikers. The Tomato Festival in September is an opportunity to discover and taste 250 varieties of this colourful fruit.”

Then I find the band members’ last names, David Frayssinet, Emmanuel Vigne, Marc Collombet and Yvan Ros. This is thanks to Discogs, and thanks to Discogs I find thata the band recorded a demo cassette in 1995 called “Superego”.

This tape was recorded between the 18th and 19th of February in 1995 and it was mixed on the 20th by Joel Cébé at TYMIX. This tape had four songs, 2 on each side: “Place on Earth”, “3’55”, “A Liquid Song” and “Do You Want to Be My Love ‘Till 1998?”. I notice on this tape that the first and third song were written by David while the other two by Marc.

The band would release a full-length album in 2001 on Matinée (MATCD006). It was titled “La Main Devant La Bouche” and included 13 tracks: “Oriane”, “What Am I Supposed to Do?”, “Sunny Day”, “To Sleep Like You”, “Alone in Rome”, “(Die For) Drew Barrymore”, “Charlie”, “Under my Tree”, “The Speed of Sound”, “Patricia’s KItchen”, “What is Fame?”, “Une Petite Fantaisie Sentimentale” and “Faire L’Affaire”.

The band also contributed many songs to compilations.

In 1996 the band contributed “3’55” and “A Liquid Song” to “Les Belles Promesses – Collection “Acoustique”” that was released by XIII Bis Records and Ora Pro Nobis. That same year on “Imbroglio”, another tape comp, they had “Kaori” and “Under My Tree”. This compilation was released by Pâte A Modeler (PAM 008). Continuing in 1996 the band released the songs “Do You Want to Be My Love ‘Till 1998?” and “Place on Earth” to the tape comp “Press Play” released by Candy Chérie. All of these compilations were released in France.

On the French tape “Galée Royale” released by Maya Label (BZZZ 2) from 1997 the band contributed the songs “What Am I Supposed to Do?” and “Under My Tree”.

Another tape comp wroth mentioning is the Italian “The Colours of an Enchanted Dawn”. This was on the label Shiny Sunset (SUNSET 9) and there Ego contributed the song “Do You Want to Be…”.

Then in 1999 there was a Matinée Festival in Paris, where four bands participated, The Windmills, Ego, Sportique and The Lucksmiths. So a tape was made for the occasion and was called “La Soirée Matinée”. This tape included unreleased tracks and also a set of six badges. Ego would contribute 3 songs (same number as the other bands), “Do You Want to Be My Love…”, “Nothing Succeeds to Success” and “Under my Tree”.

On a double 7″ compilation released by Matinée called “A Smile Took Over” (Matinée 005), where four different bands were featured, Ego appears as the last song, on the D side, with “Stephanie”.

I look if any of the band members is also listed on other bands. I notice Yvan Ros also played in a band called Astrïd as the drummer.

Not much more info on the web about Ego. Also the name is not Google friendly to search for them. So I hope some of my French friends can help me learn more details about the band!

Ego – What Am I Supposed to Do?

Today I want to feature a band that I’ve always been curious about. They are quite mysterious to me as they don’t promote themselves much, they had great looking records, and they sound great.

They were active during the latter part of the last decade and hailed from Japan. Not sure why they called themselves Petersfield either.

Back in 2017 I was in touch with one of the band members, Hiroyuki Tomita, from whom I bought three records, their “Anorak Girl” 7″ that was released in 2015, a split 7″ and the album “A Girl Like You” from 2017. I notice today that they released two more records afterwards. I missed them!

There is very little info about them online, so hopefully my Japanese friends can help me with more info. Would love to know any other details about them. Starting with band members names!

The first release was the “Anorak Girl” 7″ that had the title song on the A side and “London Weekend” on the B side. This 2015 release was out out by Radio Underground Records (RS002).

This same label released in 2017 the album “A Girl Like You” (RUG025). This album had 10 terrific songs, “Summer Time”, “A Picture of Dorian Gray”, “Creation”, “Afterhours”, “Anorak Girl”, “A Girl Like You”, “Cool Guitar Boy”, “Distant Shore”, “Londonweekend” and “Will You Love Me Tomorrow”.

Then the band released a split 7″ on Neo City Records (NCR001) in 2017. This record had them on the B side with the song “Nostalgie”. On the A side was the Japanese band Flashlights which is also pretty good. Here we find some names, not the complete names, but some names nonetheless. “Nostalgie” was written by Hiroyuki Tomita with lyrics by Fumi. We know then that Tomita, Go and Fumi were on Petersfield.

Neo City Records would release in 2019 an EP titled “Starry Eyes” (NCR002). This EP adds a few members to the band. I notice too that we get the instruments here. So we know Fumi was on vocals and bass, Miki on chorus, Rieko on drums and Miki and Tomita on guitar. The songs on this record are “Starry Eyes”, “There She Goes”, “Fantasy World” and “As Tears Go By”.

Lastly in 2020 the band released yet another split 7″. This time shared with the superb The Clovers. It was released by Big Cat Records (BCR0002) and the song Petersfield contributed was “Afterhours”. This track was recorded at Studio Ichinosuke in Tokyo in June of 2020.

Lastly the band contributed two songs to a 2022 LP compilation titled “Nu Psychic Teen Sounds!” released by the fine KiliKiliVilla label (KKV-128VL). On this record the band had thee songs “I’m Not Sayin'” and “Lazy Sunday”. The back of the sleeve of this record shows the band as trio, one guy, two girls.

And it is that same lineup that I see on a video of a live performance of the band playing the song “Window Shadow“.

And that’s all there is to say about them. I know it wasn’t much, but I hope that I least I am making you discover a very cool band!

Petersfield – Afterhours

Very little is available by this electropop band from France.

Bien was actually the moniker of Pascale Borel. He started this project in 1996 and called it a day in 1999. His three releases came out on the Madrid based label Siesta Records.

Pascale may actually be more known thanks to have been in Mikado. With Mikado she released a bunch of singles and an album in the 80s. But that’s a more known story. I am curious about this short-lived project called Bien.

She also has released many solo records.

Discogs lists some other band members for Bien like  Arnaud Fontanes, Bertrand Lapicorey and Vincent Lapicorey (these last two are brothers).

The first Bien release was the “Balthazar” 7″ single that had the title song on the A side and “Soleil D’Automne” on the B side. This record was put out by Siesta (SIESTA 43) in 1997. The songs were recorded by Christophe Chavenon with Vincent Morel as his assistant in Paris in 1997. The design for the sleeve was made by Olivier Legrand.

This same record was released as a CD single that same year. It included a couple more songs, “Oublie-Moi” and “Sunny Side”.

These two songs would be released by Siesta as a 7″ that same year. “Oublie-Moi” (SIESTA 45) came with “Sunny Side” as mentioned.

When it came to compilations the song “Soleil D’Automne” appeared on “Expreso (Otra Recopilación de Canciones de Siesta)” (SIESTA 60) in 1998 and then in 1999 a song called “If (Version)” was included in “Social (Bodies)” a CD compilation released in France by Kung Fu Fighting Recording (FIGHT 001).

Sadly this is all the information there is about these songs and this band. Of course, as I said earlier, Mikado is quite the legendary band and you could find more info about that part of Pascale’s music. But even so it is surprising that about Bien there’s barely anything online.

I believe her last solo record was “Par Ailleurs” in 2015. There are at least 2 more solo releases. Seems that’s what she did after Bien.

Did Bien play live? Were they only a recording project? Anyone has any other details?

Bien – Soleil d’Automne

Floraline released a self-titled album in 1999 on the Minty Fresh label (MF-31). Other than that they appeared on a few compilations. Then it seems they disappeared.

The album is really nice. Has this particular sound of the late 90s, upbeat with electronic arrangements and female vocals that was a bit of a trend during that time. I’m thinking of Super, Syrup USA, Cinnnamon… or of course Komeda and The Cardigans.]

The band was formed by Linda Sharp on vocals, Darren Tablan on keyboards, Jason Winter-Jarnagin on guitar, Jesse Atchison on drums and Abe Burgess on bass. They were based in Atlanta.

As mentioned their album came out in 1999 and had the songs “Just the Way”, “Harmony”, “Morningside”, “Concourse”, “Eighty One”, “I Should Say”, “I Forgot”, “Picture Show”, “Fade” and “Wedding Day”. There are programming credits for the first two songs and the last one for Scott Herren.

The album was recorded and mixed at Kingsize Soundlabs in Chicago though “Just Say”, “Harmony”, “Eighty One” and “Wedding Day” were originally recorded at Microgroove Studios in Decatur, Georgia. The album was produced by Dave Trumfio with Kenny Sluiter as the engineer.

Other album credits include Dave Max Crawford on trumpet and flugelhorn and Paul Mertens on flute and saxophone. Gretchen Dietelhoff is credited for the photography.

Floraline appeared on three compilations. The first one is “You are Here #6”. This CD caame with the magazine of the same name. The song Floraline contributed was “Harmony”.

In 1999 they were on “1999 Summer Rock Campaign”, a Japanese promo sampler released by Rock Records (RCP-5008). On that compilation they appear alongside Cinerama, Broder Daniel, The Aluminum Group, Mojave 3 and more. The songs they contributed were “Just the Way” and “Wedding Day”.

“Get Yer La-La’s Out 2000 Vinyl” was a vinyl compilation released by Minty Fresh Japan (MFJ-2000). On this one they have the song “Wedding Day”. Here they are with top bands too like Papas Fritas, The Legendary Jim Ruiz Group, Komeda or Photo Jenny.

I can’t find any more details or info about the band or the band members. I was able to find many reviews for the album, all giving it lots of positive remarks. But nothing extra to say. Why did they only released one record? Did they record any more songs? What did they do afterwards?

There are many questions. Makes you wonder why so obscure!

Floraline – Just the Way

Fridays are becoming difficult for me to post on the blog, so thinking about switching to Mondays and Thursdays. Let’s see how this goes.

A beadle, sometimes spelled bedel, is an official who may usher, keep order, make reports, and assist in religious functions; or a minor official who carries out various civil, educational or ceremonial duties on the manor.

Here’s a good mystery…

“Too Beautiful” is the name of a 1992 song by a band called The Beadles. It is on Soundcloud on the account of someone whose username is Souvlakiman. That’s not very helpful, right?

There’s some little detail though. It says that this recording was one of the first he did in Birdsong Studio in Lincolnshire.

I have looked for this studio on Google but couldn’t find it. Perhaps it doesn’t exist anymore.

Did the band hail from Lincolnshire too? I’d like to guess if that was the case that the band was from a city that is not too obscure. Perhaps Lincoln, Grimsby, Scunthorpe, Boston, right?

One thing that I notice, as Souvlakiman has uploaded many more songs, is that it seems that he lives in Greece now (maybe that’s why he uses that nickname?). It seems he has played in the island of Lesvos just last year, in July 22, at Alepou Cafe bar in the Eressos beachfront. He adds a name there though, Steve. Maybe that is his name? No last name sadly. Hard to find him this way.

Another set of recordings mention that he is doing a movie about this same beach, Eressos, in Lesvos. The movie is called “O Eressos Mou”. But most importantly he says that he made a song celebrating the promotion of Scunthorpe United. I think it was a good guess then that The Beadles hailed from Scunthorpe then?

Well, and that’s all I could gather about them. No other band members names. No other recordings. Who would know more about this early nineties project?
