Well here it is, the first full live streamed show from the book of face. I am writing this in the morning so I have even less to do after the show. How did it go? Did we all have fun? The plan is to do a live show once a month and to continue with the usual pre record as per usual.  If you missed the show you will be able to view it here https://www.facebook.com/nicktannsbandpage/ I played, I think,  KP Russel - Dumb Shit, Punch Cabbie - Dark Art, The Launchers - Dutty Mouth, Liz Longley - Rush, The Strangler Figs - Attack of the Strangler Figs, The Black Feathers - Down By the River, Nick Tann 3am 

What it says in the title. This is the test, or most of it as I didn't start recording until part way through, for my new idea of streaming the podcast through Facebook Live. I played some Caroline's Capuchin, Ex Libras and a bit of Maude the Moth. Due to some weird Facebookery I can't stream through the Podcasts page instead it has to stream through my bandpage https://www.facebook.com/nicktannsbandpage/ and will be again until further notice. The plan is to do another stream show THIS SUNDAY AT 6pm UK time. I will record the show and it will be added to this site and Itunes as this one has.   Thoughts?

I originally posted this as a new PAGE and not a POST. It's all good though eh? UPDATE... TO VIEW THE SPOTIFY PLAYLIST FOR THIS EPISODE CLICK HERE

Good day fellow humans, a rather grumpy episode this week but you get what you pay for! Tracks include Jahmila - Oye Que Si, Temper Cartel - Bad Influence, Emka Cel - Error, Lara Smiles - Who Are You?, Nick Tann - Life is a River    

Back in the jug again with some great new sounds including Strangers Amongst Us - Threads, Dollie Demi - New Girl, The Bad Years - In The House (High All Day), Redeye - Moroccan Fruit, A Ninja Slob Drew Me - 23, Julie Cannon - So Save Me I also played one of my song "Crazy" that may or may not make it back on my live play list.

  I am back with some great new tunes and some tunes from 2011 Chezza - On and On, Maryama, Fine, Woven Bird - Saw You in Two, Fez  - Lowlight, Captain Backfire _ Diceman,  Salwa Azar - White Horse, By The River - One Word, Russell Morgan - Surrender, Nick Tann - All I Think About Is You.   Have a listen and a little feedback would be nice xx EDIT A review of Chezza by Paul Carr   Chezza - On and On. As Nick says in the podcast, people can be notoriously sniffy about new hip-hop. Maybe you are one of those people who has been turned off hip hop by the omnipresence of the Drakes and the Kanyes of the world. If so, hopefully this new track from Canadian rapper Chezza will go some way to changing your mind. The songs opens with a languid groove that would fit nicely onto Marvin Gaye’s frankly filthy album Let’s Get it On. Cheeza has an impressively tight flow with his nimble rhymes tumbling over each other. He has the steady delivery of a less provocative Mos Def. The song seamlessly flows into a chorus that would sound great soundtracking one of those Cristal fuelled pool parties you’ll never get invited to. The guest verses see two rappers with contrasting styles add weight to the track. Sharky the Great contributes some mirth with inspired boasts about his skills as an MC while Killermixture adds a confident, street smart verse. There are plenty of nods to old school hip-hop that will satisfy the hip-hop aficionado and the uninitiated alike. It’s a shimmering, summery tune perfect for some late summer sun. Give it a go.

   Subscribe and never miss an episode.   Here we go again! On the hottest day of the year I bring you the hottest independent tracks money can buy! This weeks play list contains Spencer - Hidden From The Sun, NEW MOdel Army - Devil, Morgan Wilson - Fire, Ilana J - Made For You, Stacs & Sii - Life Guard, White Crosses - Straits, Nick Tann - the First Time (demo) **UPDATE** A review of one of the tracks from new ITTOP reviewer Paul Carr New Model Army - Devil The hand clap is an often underappreciated addition to a song. It raises the humorous image of a group of musicians huddled around a single microphone clapping out a beat that one would usually associate more with reception year infant students than gruff rockers. Here, the hand claps, paired with it's sexy bassline, propel the song forward. It has the same feel as the Stooges ‘No Fun’ and (If i had a pair), I would be tempted to don a pair of ill fitting black trousers and have a bit of a slink. It’s a great start and the song continues to pile on unexpected sounds with synths layered into the mix. The song skulks along until the chorus, with it’s repetitive refrain of ’If you look for me/You will find me’. Although somewhat repetitive it still contains the requisite existential dread that the band do so well. The slowed down bridge with an almost spoken word verse adds a hypnotic bleakness to proceedings before returning to the insistent chorus. This is a strong return for the band and, If you like them, you will certainly appreciate this. If anything, you will at least appreciate the hand claps.   This is my new video that you should certainly watch  and make a comment. Good or bad.... How dya like them apples?

If you want to add a musical contribution you can listen to and download CRAZY on my Soundcloud page by clicking HERE On with the rest of the show... First was Iris a good no nonsense guitar rock bacd doing what they should with a track called Candle. Mickey Carroll is the kind of guy you invite to dinner who turns up wearing spats and spend the evening winking at your wife! He is also a great blues musician with his own show on Youtube. His new track Slowtrain is just sublime. Jumble Hole Clough - Cocoa Palace Keeper is like the kind of dream you have after taking prescription drugs, glorious! My Monthly Date - 21st what the Beasty Boys would have sounded like if they grew up in Guildford, easily listenable and instantly likeable. Old House Playground - Stardance Nick Drake channels Elvis singing to a Tarentino film score powerful and addictive!   I also posted this new video on the youtubes if you fancy it   

Just like that, this weeks podcast and it's a corker. After a new track from me it's my tip for 2015, powerful and evocative Little Brother Eli - Who Do You?, picking up where Eddie and the Hotrods left off and bringing it right up to date The Silver Bayonets - Schemes. If Peter Gabriel had stayed with Genesis and listened to a few Jacques Brel records he would have come up with something like the enigmatic Marvin B Naylor's new single Brief Encounter. My last two tracks Wolfe Sunday - Botany Bay (if Axle Rose had picked up an acoustic guitar and wrote folky punk songs) and ending with my number one and number 2 French punk band H.O.Z. and one of my favourite tracks from their album Ain't Got No Woman. What a show!
