Enormous Collision / September 5 2008
Nelson Galaxy and I are doing family things for a few days so I plan to take a little time off from blogging - amongst other things. I’ll be back next week.
Until then, allow me to remind you that tickets are still available for the Enormous gig with 80s popsters B-Movie at the Town Mill […]
All That Glitters / August 24 2008
As I was passing the recycling bins in the car park of the Co-op - that comically provincial supermarket full of half-price frozen fagots-in-gravy and Aunt Bessie’s Traditional Yorkshire Puddings - I spotted Reg, who was emptying bags of what looked like CDs into one of them. ‘Getting rid of all the crap,’ he commented.
‘I […]
Cherry Outburst / August 22 2008
What is that constant ridiculous sound in the background of the Verve’s new single Love Is Noise? It sounds like a herd of geese. It makes Audrey bark like some kind of crazy female madman every time it is played on XFM. It ruins what is otherwise quite an average song.
Actually, I would rather like […]
Early Warning / August 21 2008
ENORMOUS have a big gig coming up in November.
It’s quite a while away but I’m telling you now as it’s tickets only and will probably sell out.
Here are the details: New Romantics B-Movie are playing at The Town Mill in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire on Thursday 20th November with support from recently reformed pop stompers ENORMOUS - […]
Buy Big Music / August 1 2008
Excuse me while I plug Electric Baby Grand again , the first Enormous album on Big Arena Records.
Sales are going very well, but you don’t have a copy, do you Johnny? And neither do you, do you Emma?
So, if you are bored with Britney Spears and have had it up to here with bloody Coldplay, […]
Highest Praise / July 13 2008
This, from a certain Mr Nelson Galaxy, is probably the single item of criticism that Electric Baby Grand has thus far received of which I am the most proud:
‘If you do not already own this album I suggest you get a copy right now, it will be the best decision you have ever made. Singer/songwriter […]
Bass Player Acquired / July 11 2008
I have an announcement to make:
Enormous now have a bass player. Yay!
His name is Steve.
During the rehearsal on Saturday, which was, in effect, an audition, it took only ten minutes and a quick run-through of That Girl Again and Let’s Run Away Together for Graham, Ash, Paul and me to realise that he was the […]
Even Higher Praise / July 10 2008
I can’t resist replicating part of a review of My Type, the Enormous single that was originally released on Beatific Records, as it appeared in Melody Maker.
When you consider my fondness of the two women mentioned you will perhaps appreciate why.
‘Like being locked in a lingerie store with Anna Friel and Catherine Deneuve.’
Wayhey!
Higher Praise / July 7 2008
This, from Mojo magazine, is one of my favourites:
‘Enormous are potential nouveau powerpop colossi.’
Couldn’t have put it better myself.
High Praise / July 6 2008
I’m so proud of some of the reviews Enormous – and Slaughterhouse 5 - have garnered in the past that I thought I might reproduce a few here.
Here is one from the Sunday Times Music Supplement:
‘Pure horn-rimmed pop with brass reinforced hook-lines that don’t let go. Enormous deliver upbeat, soppy, sing-along choruses one minute, then […]
