Hey Kids! Here's the next one...this Thursday...bad maths to miss it!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Doloroso's excellent second single Godless is out now.
Here are some good reasons to run out and buy it.
"A darkly sensuous lullaby, rich layers spun around a
musical core of exquisite simplicity to take you away
to the dreamland of doloroso"
Flux
"Impossible to ignore with their vocals so engaging
and distinctive, songs so cinematic and their melodies
so timeless"
Artrocker
"Godless is both frightening and fu<king creepy"
The Fly
"A desolate, hypnotic soundscape from 'the band with
four O's"
Room Thirteen
"Another excellent single and everyone should keep
their eyes out for these young gentlemen"
High Voltage
It's available in limited quantities of 7" vinyl and
cd available in pretty much all record shops, and
download available from, among others, iTunes. Go get
some!

The Mules
(the drummer...is the singer...Moments of genius!)
Robert Jesse and the Moon Music Orchestra
(sure he looks like a sweet guy, and really he is a sweet guy, but his playing is EVIL - he definitely made some deal out at the crossroads.)

COME ON DOWN!
-----------------------------------------------------------
NEWS FROM DOLOROSO...Hello to one and all
After a long and dusty road trip across the continent with an improvised soundtrack performed only on ukelele and melodica, we're back in London and about to start working towards the release of our next single - Godless - out on 11th September. More info on this to follow nearer the time.
First off we're playing next Tuesday 8th August at the Old Blue Last with White Russians and Sunshine Gun (or something). We're on stage about 8:45 so get there early. It's £3 to get in and we're debuting some new songs so it should be a good one. More dates in August / September are in the pipeline.
Also check out www.totalspec.com or go and buy it in the shops in full glossy glory - available in all good branches of Borders.

Oh yeah...did we mention we had Graham Massey's TOOLSHED down for a rare as hens teeth London gig down at the Hoxton Bar & Kitchen. Taking Sun-Ra as a starting point...I mean they literally started by covering Sun-Ra!...they proceeded over the next hour to whip the crowd into a wildly appreciative frenzy. I don't know if I ever saw Simon Lord and Findlay Brown more psyched. The air was buzzing. "FUKIN AMAZIN'....FUKIN A-MAZIN!"
Lions & Tigers kicked this shizzle off in true style...

Some news from...
Hey there my beautiful friends
It's that time again. The forces of good (Simon) and evil (me) are once more combining to bring you a humble serving of rustic aural stimulation.
The guitars have been restrung and the new strings dirtied. Our clip-cloppy shoes have been polished. The emptiness and one-ness of existence has been contemplated. The process of practicing followed by forced abstinence has been completed. All that is left to do is play. And sing. And spread some love.
Friday 16th June- The Local
(downstairs @ the Kings Head- 2 Crouch End Hill, N8)
see- www.knom.co.uk
or www.myspace.com/thelocalcrouchend
starts about 7:30.
Alucidnation and Eve Abraham are playing after us and super-dj Pete Lawrence will be on the old gramaphone.
Man. It's gonna be Far Out!
Maybe see you there.

This one here was dead dead good. If you were there you will know this as a fact. If you weren't there it is probably because it was fully SOLD OUT and there was no more room for you to get in because even the aisles were crammed full of people trying to inch closer and closer to get a fill of the amazing guitar work going on right in front of their WIDE eyes.
Yeah it was great. Legendary!

Trial and Error DJs
Trial and Error welcomes its crowd for a fourth installment of their epic Sunday jamborees. Resting on well polished oak chairs and a bottomless confidence in the purity of the music played, a crowd of burnt-out dandies and contemplative wasters fill the room and waltz elegantly with lager and spirit. Expect folk to embrace electronica while, somewhere, fuzzy rock is making out with americana and metal.
