Band/artist history
Swivvel Records -Andy and Twiggy Musical History Some of the stuff that andy and twiggy have done over the past decade or so The history, mission statement etc.......... Liner notes taken from Andy and Twiggy's Swivvel Records MP3 Sampler: 160 songs, 12 years, countless lineups and spin-offs, 2 original members, essentially 1 band Stellar Art Wars- possibly our best name but not our only one- is just one of many such collectives/circles/cliques of musicians around the world, This album offers a unique insight into the musical diversity of one such group. Bands are families, all related , and this represents just a small part of the un-famous side of Essex's rock 'n' roll family tree. For every beatles there's another 10 bands as prolific but without any semblence of fame. here's just one The majority of this collection was home recorded at zero budget on a fostex b-16 analog multitrack. Unfortunately fixing it is beyond our means at present, so we're stuck with harddisk. It'd be nice to have the cash to fix our dilapidated kit. Analog rox We can perform or have performed 90% of this stuff live... the upside: Being an unsigned artist, writer or producer means being skint, but it also gives a lot of freedom. We play what we want to hear and what we FEEL, not what is fashionable, not what sells, and not exactly what we're told to. (and nobody wants.... to go to jail!) Forget plastic pop and corporate rock. These are a collection of recordings by real people with real lives. Sometimes distinctly odd lives. People with strange looks, strange moods, strange ideas, strange smells, strange voices (on the mic and in the head) strange guitaring, strange views, strange drumming..... in short, musicians You'll find it here in spades........... Welcome to the underground, son, and it's a scary place. Some of the influences here are credible. Dylan, Clash, Elvis, Bowie and Mott. On the flip side there's Carter USM, Eternal and Steps. What adds to the fun is the almost complete randomness with which these influences collide. For the record- Andy and Dave have the worst taste. There's no genre-fascism here- there's MOR, folk, dance, hip-hop, britpop, grunge ,love, politics, despair, seriousnous, sillyness- sometimes all at once. Some songs feature various recordings and takes in different styles....... What you will find here, rare in today's "hit parade" is passion, soul and sheer rock 'n' roll balls. Something truly individual. Something truly human. Music that is FUN and MEANS SOMETHING Whack up the stereo, spark up and open some cans. You're in for a real treat!! for best effect- set your MP3 player to random/shuffle!
