The Victorian English Gentlemens Club - Lost My Face In A Fast Car Race
Bag of Meat is a masterpiece. I was very much looking forward to it. There are so many records that do nothing to me lately, so it's very welcome. It also comes at the right moment, there's a lot going on and I need a record with this amount of personality now. It kind of makes me nervous, I want to listen to all the songs at the same time, like this track 'Lost My Face In A Fast Car Race' is so striking and different I can't grasp it immediately.
The VEGC are definitely my favourite band. They have to release this on vinyl soon, I need it this summer.

The Victorian English Gentlemens Club - Watching The Burglars
The Victorian English Gentlemens Club are again a threepiece with another new drummer. They've just recorded 4 new songs for album number three; "cold hearted, bass heavy music with drums, lungs, guitars, bass, an electric mandolin, an Indian Shruti Harmonium, a VEGC-made Bow-Screamo (a single stringed instrument played with a bow), a church bell hit with a hammer and the sound of a coin being tossed" .
This month they release a new single on This Is Fake D.I.Y.

The Victorian English Gentlemens Club - Love On An Oil Rig
The Victorian English Gentlemens Club's first self titled LP from 2006 is a record I deeply love. On their second album Love On An Oil Rig they are as genius as in 2006. They take their inspiration from Wire, The B-52's, Sonic Youth and the Pixies and add their own idiosyncratic personality to it. Their songs are raw and energetic with a lot of shouts, great great drumming, cool basslines and mean guitars. The lyrics are funny and sharp, Simple fly he lost his life in white paint, singer Adam shouts in 'Periscope Envy' and in 'Worker' : A swimmingpool is all he needed for the body part he'd lost. All songs have these strange witty sentences that don't seem to make a lot of sense but add a lot of substance to the unpredictable songs.
Love On An Oil Rig is a very, very cool record, probably the best I've heard this year. I bought the vinyl directly from the band here.
