Vegas is the self-titled album from the one-off collaboration between Terry Hall (The Specials) and Dave Stewart (Eurythmics). Originally released in 1992, the album combines elements of electronic music and pop with alternative rock influences.

The album was recorded in London with additional contributions from drummer and programmer Olle Romö, and showcases a more atmospheric side of both Hall and Stewart. It includes the singles "Possessed", "She", and "Walk into the Wind", the latter featuring vocals by Siobhan Fahey (ex-Bananarama, Shakespears Sister).

Vegas is available as a limited edition on orange vinyl.

Post-Punk-Ikone Brix Smith wird für ihre Arbeit mit The Fall, The Adult Net und The Extricated hoch geschätzt, aber auch nach vier Jahrzehnten in der Szene wagt sie sich immer noch mit der ihr eigenen Intensität an neue musikalische Horizonte heran und präsentiert ihr Solo-Debütalbum. Produziert von Grammy-Preisträger Youth (The Verve, Jesus & Mary Chain, Killing Joke), krönt Brix' scheinbar mühelos cooler Gesang eine explosive Mixtur aus Power-Pop, zackigen Garage-Rock-Riffs und klassischen Grunge-Melodien, die sie als eine Mischung aus The Breeders und Hole mit einer Atmosphäre, die 'sehr dystopisch kalifornisch' klingt, beschreibt. Zu ihren prominenten Featuregästen gehören Susanna Hoffs (The Bangles) und Siobhan Fahey (Bananarama, Shakespears Sister).

Introducing Skygirl, with their 4-track debut release.

Skygirl is Eva and Hanna. The two got together by chance, but definitely not by accident. After they were introduced at a festival through mutual friends and danced the night away, it became clear that both have musical ambitions and their artistic vision aligns. The band was formed before the hangover was gone, and songs were written before the weekend ended.

The kind of “after-party-Monday-mood” also functions as an entry to the band’s lyrical and musical cosmos. Rest assured, this is not your mundane headache, but rather a working class meets art school kind of philosophical approach. Sparse instrumentation meets two voices. Life-affirming, yet informed by a somber future.

Reference points may be groups like Young Marble Giants or Shakespears Sister. Brittle but strong voices, molded by urban decay.
