hello.
as some of you will know, richard has moved to brighton for the next two years, and i’m thinking of going too.. where this would leave a belfast-based record label is anyone’s guess. panda kopanda are part way through recording a second album (i’ve heard bits and pieces and it sounds amazing); three tales are mostly playing in the robyn g. shiels band, and hopefully that album sees the light of day before too long. jonny ashe made a solo album and we recorded a bit of eisberg & resnick so hopefully something will happen with that.
what i’m getting at is: the heliopause album - now 100% recorded and 99.94% mixed - will be the last thing that furious tradesmen can afford to release, barring huge and unprecedented success. so far, no release has paid for itself, even with the minuscule promotional costs we’ve run up. stupid things like the barcodes (those people send lawyers’ letters to my mother’s house) and web hosting and MCPS (who’ve decided that we do owe them for “join our lusty chorus” after all) add up to way more than we’ve made from record sales.
but the heliopause album sounds great - bits should be on myspace.com/wecomefrombelfast soon - and fingers crossed we can make something good happen with it.

by the way, the best band around at the minute are before machines. i wish to high heaven we had the money to make their album.

jonny ashe (at various times one third of tracer amc, one quarter of tracer amc, one third, one quarter or one fifth of kidd dynamo, one third, one fifth or one sixth of julip, one half of eisberg and resnick, and a small part of, amongst others, the joss mills band and the belfast guitar/drum band with around ten players whose name myspace censors) has made an album. it’s very, very good. you can buy it here: myspace.com/jonnyashe
he put a new song up! cheeky bugger.

» mon peu rimbaud

single

hello. heliopause released a new single - mon peu rimbaud / moment of recognition - at the last black market. it was limited to fifty copies which sold out pretty much straight away. we’re working to get it onto itunes, though. we played a couple of odd shows lately - alex’s house, chris’s house, blackout at auntie annie’s… and the next couple are at the victoria square dome (22 july as part of the trans festival), willowstone festival (27 june) and at the PS2 gallery in belfast.

in other news, niall and jonny will be playing on 14 june as eisberg & resnick (supporting pocahaunted at the menagerie) and guitar dectet are playing june’s two-step at the limelight (17 june). also on the 17th, heliopause are playing in charlie’s coffee shop. last time we played there was one of my favourite ever helioshows. hope to see you there.

finally, apologies to anyone who’s tried and failed to get in touch lately. it turns out that trying to run a business / life from one’s phone (because one’s computer has exploded) is not a viable option. hence website slackness (”we released a single which is sold out…. panda kopanda played a gig and it was good” etc etc). mea culpa.
