Colour Me Wednesday practising al fresco (sort of)! Click to enlarge images.
As some of you may know, Danny Gardner has left Colour Me Wednesday after being our bassist for roughly 3 years (basically our whole existence as a real band). CMW will not be the same without him and he will be very difficult to replace.
Our friend Dan Pugsley has kindly stepped in as a substitute in the mean-time (pictured centre-right).
But for now the core CMW lineup is Sam, Jen and Hat. Gigs are going ahead as is the recording of the album!
Thanks
CMW
Okay, CMW fans take note. We have gigs coming up. Check out our facebook page.
Colour Me Wednesday - “Purge Your Inner Tory”
:P “twee”!
How did this escape youtube? Someone’s bloody ripped it!!? :D
Give this music blog a little visit!
We’ve ordered a couple of sets of stickers, one set looks like this! (This colour scheme was a favourite on our facebook page), so look forward to seeing them plastered around London by our street team (totally not us)!!!! Or maybe you can pick one up at a gig and put it on your lunch box!
Colour Me Wednesday are my new favourite girl group. I got their sampler cd in the maill (sic) on Friday, made out of what seems to have once been a cereal box. Damn, I hate tagging with DIY or words that hint at production values/aesthetics especially when groups can obviously write a song too and in this case obviously Jennifer Doveton (backed by her sister Harriet for the choruses), can sing reverb-free. Not that they purvey a clean sound, it’s rather scuzzy but hooky as hell short blasts of punk-informed anthems. Check out the super catchy stop-start guitar intro and the cheeky bassline on Purge Your Innder Tory. I see a little bit of a younger me when I look at her big brown unfeigned eyes.
Holiday From Your Life on the other hand leans mildly towards folk. My, I really love how her voice turns at 2.10 in.
These demos and a string of live appearances have gained them praise and rightfully so, and now they are readying their debut full-length. Also there’s an interview with them on Candy Twist the fanzine so we’ll learn more about where these dudettes (and dudes) are coming from.
guess the song to win a free mystery cd
