And Also The Trees – Retrospective view

Sunday, January 10th, 2010
It is always difficult to be objective about a band you have been aware of for decades, a band you have socialized with, drunk with and supported on stage...

And Also The Trees always manage to deliver a well thought out product (with out sounding pretentious and ‘Arty’) the concept, the execution, the complete package is always ‘very interesting’. The almost melancholic delivery of the words, the guitars that pull you into a loop and flick you off on to a different tangent – which crisscrosses the rest of the emotional mix, creates a fantastic dark labyrinth to get lost in. Apart from that they produce cracking good intelligent songs. There is a new collection available which was released in 2009 called When The Rains Come
From a village in Worcestershire, brothers Simon (vocals) and Justin Jones (guitar) formed And Also The Trees in 1979 and have been recording and playing live virtually ever since. My  copy of (Listen for) the Rag and Bone Man is almost worn out….go and have a listen on MySpace.

Chagstock Feastival

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

We have put up another track: Obvious, which is a very sad love song (sentimental, self indulgent rubbish really). Have a listen and if it makes you puke…..we apologise.

I have recently got back from ‘Chagstock Festival’ where Jake played (supporting ‘Squeeze’) in his other ‘Dastards’. It was a great weekend and was the first time I have ever stayed in a Tepee. It was an enormous thing about 18 feet high and would sleep eight comfortably – Must do it again. The Dastards were one the stars of the show – a great (brief) performance. Next stop ‘Fahrenheit Festival’ in Cambridge (7,8 and 9 August)
