Thanks to all who came down to our second Acoustic Consequences show at The Fellow last night, including our three excellent bands Vadoinmessico, Kurran and The Wolfnotes and The Boy Icarus. The highly anticipated first appearance of a drum at Acoustic Consequences was also joined by the first appearance of a melodica, a banjo, a harmonium, a bongo, a bass, an electric guitar and another drum! Not strictly acoustic but all the better for it.

The Boy Icarus treated us to his Bright Eyes infused folk tales.

After exlovers sadly cancelled due to illness, their recent tour buddies Kurran and The Wolfnotes kindly stepped into their slot. The five-piece played a great set ahead of the release of their debut single ‘Whatabitch’ the following day. (iTunes / 7″)

Vadoinmessico capped off a fine evening with songs from their debut EP (bandcamp / iTunes) and a few extras. Songs in English, Spanish and Italian, some nifty guitar work, a banjo, melodica and crisps on their drum kits. What more could you want?

So we’re very sad to inform you that Pete from exlovers has got tonsillitis so won’t be able to play the show tomorrow. We’ll definitely be getting him back to play in the new year though. In the meantime all is not lost as Kurran and The Wolfnotes have kindly agreed to step into their slot. We were intending on getting them down to play a show next year but as it happens we don’t have to wait that long so woop woop to that! Get well soon Pete.

What? Music Mule is proud to present Acoustic Consequences 2. This time around we have three of the best new bands to call London home. Starting with the awesome old meets new folk ramblings of The Boy Icarus through to the all killer no filler Kurran & The Wolfnotes and finishing off with some continental flare courtesy of the epic Vadoinmessico. We can hardly wait!

For Fans Of: MUSIC MULE!

The Boy Icarus is hotly tipped folk troubadour Huw who sounds a little like if all of the great folk artists of years gone by had been merged into one during their prime, quickly dragged through every decade up until now, then left to fend for themselves in a post-Libertines London. In other words an old sound that manages to be very much here and now.

For Fans Of: Bob Dylan, Bright Eyes, Micah P Hinson.

Vadoinmessico will finishing the night with some sounds from the Mediterranean and further afield all brought together in the form of their supremely catchy cinematic folk songs. This now London based collective is lead by the majestic vocals and guitar of songwriter Giorgio Poti, an exciting new talent. As Rcrdlbl put it in a recent feature:

“If the super intense tango scene in Scent of a Woman was transposed into The Red Balloon, the soundtrack would be “In Spain.”  If Frankie and Annette’s Beach Party also featured the arboretum scene from Sabrina, the soundtrack would be “Cave.”  If the “Stella!” scene in Streetcar Named Desire was filtered through The Science of Sleep, the soundtrack would be “Sisma.”

Don’t worry we don’t get it all either! But these guys are magic live so don’t miss out.

For Fans Of: The Dodos, Lykke Li, Grizzly Bear.

What? Music Mule is proud to present ‘Acoustic Consequences’ featuring Eugene McGuinness and Stars Of Sunday League. To say we’re over the moon with this Sunday evening double bill is an understatement. Concerning Eugene McGuinness Drowned In Sound put it rather excellently, saying, “Save yourself the embarrassment a year or so down the line of not letting songs as perfect as these enrich your existence sooner”.

For Fans Of: Arctic Monkeys, Jeremy Warmsley, The Beatles.

Eugene McGuinness, 24, combines the witty turn of phrase of label mate Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) with a timeless Beatles influenced songwriting style of yesteryear. Signed to the mighty Domino Records (home to Bonnie Prince Billy, Smog, Animal Collective), his 2007 extended EP ‘The Early Learnings Of Eugene McGuinness’ and his self-titled 2008 full length won critical praise across the board, scoring 9/10 and 8/10 respectively from Drowned In Sound. Since then Eugene has got a new band in the shape of The Lizards but tonight we’re lucky enough to get an increasingly rare solo show. Just one man of London Irish origin who grew up in Liverpool and his gee-tar!

We’ve been keenly following the progress of Stars Of Sunday League since they blew our socks off during a support slot for English folk legend Chris Wood a few months back. Stars Of… are Euan Robinson and Sarah Triggs from London via Edinburgh. Euan’s stripped down acoustic songwriting and unmistakeably Scottish accent are the perfect medium through which to enjoy his wry tales of haircuts making up for faces (I Still Like Football) and the politically charged tribute to late US politician Harvey Milk (above). The band’s latest offering ‘The Boys Got Prospects EP’ is out now (CD / iTunes) and it’s a little bit special.

For Fans Of: Belle and Sebastian, Frightened Rabbit, James Yorkston.

When? Sunday, October 4th:

Roast Dinner downstairs till 4PM. Doors 6PM, Bands 7-9PM, music till Late.

What? Music Mule and Electroacoustic Club present: Stornoway, Magic Arm and Shona Foster. We’re proud to be co-promoting this night in association with the wonderful EA Club at one of the best venues in London. Stornoway have just played five sets at this year’s Glasto including one broadcast live for BBC. Gorgeous finger picking folk with to die for vocals.

For Fans Of: Belle & Sebastian, Sufjan Stevens, Fleet Foxes.

Stornoway’s debut single ‘Zorbing’ is a summertime folk/pop masterpiece that’s already received Radio 1 plays from Colin Murray and Lauren Laverne. The Guardian have already proclaimed them ‘our New Favourite Band’ and Drowned In Sound have described them as ‘impossible not to love’. Heady praise indeed. Come check them out for yourselves but in the meantime you can find their Glasto performance at about 33mins here.

Support act Magic Arm are just as much cause for excitement. Mancunian Marc Rigelsford is the man behind the magic (arm). His sound is hard to pin down but folk-tinged electronic pop with a dark edge may go somewhere close. Magic Arm’s debut album ‘Make Lists, Do Something’ is out now and counts Ed Droste (Grizzly Bear) and Sam Beam (Iron & Wine) as two of its fans. As those guys are two of the best musicians of the past couple of decades we must be forgiven for dribbling a little at the prospect.

For Fans Of: Beck, The Beta Band, Adem.

Shona Foster opens the evening. She’s been likened to “Portishead ditching the drum machines or Kate Bush holidaying in the Balkans”. Eclectic musical influences presented via piano, violins, oboe and Shona’s powerful, despairing vocals.

For Fans Of: Kate Bush, Beth Gibbon.

Set Times:

8.10 Shona Foster
8.50 Magic Arm
9.45 Stornoway

When? Thursday, July 9th.

Where? The Luminaire, Kilburn.
