you make me malfunction/duh duh ep by hipshakes from 2007, found this in the corn exchange in leeds whilst record shopping. the illustration by oliver allchin pulled me in and thank god, because it's one of my favourite records to listen to. i love a shouty, loud record - it's nice to find a record like that without the rage (as much as i love angry music). it's loud, shouty music that you could play at an indie bar and have everyone up and dancing to. a great little gem to find for a band that didn't see much mainstream success, the world wasn't ready for them, haha.

SHOW AND TELL RECORDINGS 2002-2007
SHOW AND TELL RECORDINGS was my first label (prior to GIRLSVILLE). I ran it from 2002-2007 before the wheels fell of for a variety of reasons. In 2007 I was working with PURPLE WIZARD releasing a slew of singles when Bill Pietsch passed away suddenly on the cusp of what was to be their fourth 7″ single on SHOW AND TELL. We scrapped the single. It wasn’t feeling like a good time at that point. I…

NEED A LEISURE OPPORTUNITY? TRY PROTO IDIOT
I’m digging my promo of Manchester’s Proto Idiot’s Leisure Opportunity on Slovenly (to be released November 3rd). To my ears, the LP has a quirky, minimalist vibe ala UK greats Wire, Swell Maps and Television Personalities.
Proto Idiot are a tad more sedate than singer Andrew Anderson’s previous project The Hipshakes, which has more garagey bite and is definitely worth checking out as well. Both bands are on tour in the USA right now.
Fun, goofy lyrics with a philosophical bent and varied, catchy riffs have kept me coming back to this disc all week. So glad this quirky brand of punk is still in production.

THE HIPSHAKES – UK garage punk mainstays premiere new single ahead of US tour. (Nerve Centre Records)
The Hipshakes seem to be having a second creative apex at the moment as evidenced by their latest 7″ single, set to be released by Falmouth, UK imprint Nerve Centre Records. There’s been a flurry of Hipshakes releases lately, matched only by the volume of output during their first apex in the mid-aughts. This is possibly due to the fact that while Hipshakes have always been reliably consistent,…

FREAK GENES throwing shapes in the Video Premiere for “Negative Shape” (Alien Snatch Records)
FREAK GENES is Andrew Anderson (Hipshakes, Proto Idiot) and Charlie Murphy (Red Cords, Murph & The Gazorpos) and this is one of my favorite projects the two have done. I think Charlie heads over to Manchester from Falmouth, and these two incredibly prolific songwriters bash out hits together for this particular project. This here is a premiere for the first Freak Genes video “Negative Shape” off…
