God is in the TV Review of Rosebud EP

The Excellent God is in the TV zine

have given Rosebud a really lovely review. They say

"Becoming somewhat of a superhero in the underground acoustic scene... The Sound of the Ladies has been the object of many an affection since the release of his fabulous "Tissue of Lies" EP. And now on the verge of releasing his latest slab of melancholic genius, [they] will no doubt be putting smiles on faces faster than an abolition of government.

"...there is a sense of broken innocence haunting the tracks; their smooth, sweeping melodies and unfolding drama a perfect elixir..."

"..truly...a brilliant voice... the vocal lines soar above the tenebrous melancholy...tracks like the apologetic "How You Could Have Been in Love with Me" and the seriously uncluttered effortlessness of "One of Those Girls" leave a distinct impression; taking you through the emotions of a man with so much pain to share, and certainly enough to go around."

Anyone calling me an underground superhero (MoleMan?) and a melancholic genius is cool in my book. Off to swim in Lake Me...

Unwanted visitor

The Sound of the Ladies got a visit from an unwanted guest whilst working at their job in London.

During the course of a normal working day, Martin Austwick was visited by an fly in his office.

"It was in the insect family, and it moved fast. I was almost asleep and I saw a mark on the wall that I didn't think was there before, and I just was staring at it for like a minute," the guitarist told his friends.

"And then it ran around the room. You know, it just took off. These flies are quick. And I couldn't deal with that, so I left and got a coffee for half an hour."

The band are set to release their new EP 'Rosebud' on May 1st.

As previously reported by thesoundoftheladies.co.uk, the band are working on new video 'The clouds at the top of the sky' with acclaimed director Nathan Snyder.

Now, if you think that sounds like a non-story, read this.

The Sound of The Ladies

The Ladies are now "The Sound of The Ladies". Excited? You oughtta be.

Rosebud EP out next month...

The Private Press

Thanks to the lovely Miss Josie Long (never met her before in my life, gov...) The Ladies' Valentines gig got an honourable mention in the Sunday Times (first page of the Culture section, no less). The gig is at the Slaughtered Lamb in Clerkenwell, as part of Will Rees' infamous Electroacoustic Club. Get today's Sunday Times to see it in all its one inch glory.

In more news, the as-yet untitled follow up EP to "Tissue of Lies" is pretty much complete, sat on my hard drive waiting to be mixed into shape. It will feature acoustic versions of "One of those girls", "D-E-A-D", "How you could have been in love with me" and "Swimming Skills". Hopefully it'll be ready in time for the next gig.
