“We all make mistakes”. The Prince of Northampton slowthai is back with a bang, releasing his new single ‘ENEMY’ at exactly the time Prime Minister Boris Johnson addresses the nation…well they have history.

“slowthai, you have officially been cancelled”. His first song since that infamous altercation at the NME Awards show in London on February 12th is a bass-heavy grime attack, and comes with a made-at-home-in-isolation video.

The man also known as Tyrone Frampton could have disappeared for some lengthy downtime after the flack he received, but he’s come straight back with what he does best. The first new ‘solo’ track since the formidable Nothing Great About Britain album of May 2019 displays exactly the sort of foreboding menace that shows he really is the lone wolf that walks his own path.

Pete Dennis previews The Teenage Werewolves / She’s in Bauhaus show RESCHEDULED FOR JAN 3RD

Unlike Liverpool and Coventry who honour their musical offspring with museums and tourist trails Northampton’s goth rock pioneers Bauhaus have been confined to the attic like the madwoman in Jane Eyre. As if to remind us of our folly a double headliner comes to The Roadmender on Sunday January 3rd 2021, paying homage to The Cramps (Teenage Werewolves) and our very own practitioners of the dark arts She’s in Bauhaus.

Despite being largely ignored, officially, in their home town Bauhaus’ spectral shadow encompasses the globe, and one of many lives they’ve touched was that of American Jack Atlantis. He fronts both the Teenage Werewolves and She’s in Bauhaus, and Jack spoke exclusively to express his joy at performing at the birthplace of Gothic rock.

Jack began by explaining his initial exposure to Bauhaus: “I was introduced aged 15 while watching the film The Hunger. Bauhaus singer Peter Murphy was singing ‘Bela Lugosi’s Dead’ while David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve hunt red-haired dancer Ann Magnuson. Bauhaus left a lasting impression on my musical taste, vocal style and fashion leanings.” So much so that Jack would later form a tribute act in honour of his heroes: “Last Halloween, we performed our first full Bauhaus show in Los Angeles with Bauhaus members David J and Kevin Haskins in the audience. Backstage, Kevin told me that ‘at times, I forgot It wasn’t Peter [Murphy] performing those songs.’”

Many miles separated the original Bauhaus and Cramps. How does Jack think the two relate? “I find that both band’s champion the dark undercurrent of weirdos and the under-represented outcasts. They both defied stereotypes and created a loyal following, inspiring countless other bands through their visual shows but with very different approaches. These two unique bands have an interesting crossover appeal of audience. Their fans love both bands”

To some people the very idea of tribute bands is an anathema, while to others they provide an opportunity to catch a glimpse of their heroes in an intimate setting. The untimely death of Cramps vocalist Lux Interior makes acts like the Teenage Werewolves even more vital, and while the original Bauhaus have recently reformed for a run of stadium dates the chances of them playing a Roadmender-sized venue is unlikely. She’s in Bauhaus appropriately fill that void.

Both of Jack’s tribute bands have been warmly received, but what gave him the idea of putting them on the same bill? “It was a series of events that seemed too uncanny to be mere coincidence. In 2014 the Teenage Werewolves performed a double-headlining show with David J and his solo band at the Viper Room in Hollywood. Then two ago, I hosted David’s travelling acoustic show at my house with an audience of 40 friends. The next day David flew to Mexico City to meet Peter Murphy for the start of their first tour together in over a decade and that would become the current and full reunion with Daniel Ash and Kevin Haskins. The picture of The Teenage Werewolves and She’s in Bauhaus tour painted itself.”

How does it feel to bring She’s in Bauhaus to Northampton where Bauhaus first started? “Life is strange, as a kid from the other side of the world, hearing the songs of Bauhaus through unlikely sources, felt like my own secret world because I didn’t know anyone who also liked this music in the little town I’m from. When I moved to Los Angeles aged 18 I discovered legions of other fans, and it felt like my second home. I find it surreal to have met the band members on a personal level and then performing this strange show to English fans at the epicentre of where the band started. It’s an honour, and we won’t let the fans down.”

The Teenage Werewolves and She’s in Bauhaus play Northampton Roadmender on Jan 3rd 2021. Support comes from the Clash tribute The Clashed and Joy Division impersonators Shadowplay. Doors 6pm, £18.50 tickets plus booking fee.

This Saturday is a day to celebrate a Northampton music institution. Spiral Archive has been selling records and showcasing local bands for a whole 20 years now.

New and old music-related records, CDs, tapes, DVDs, books, t-shirts, mugs, badges, it’s all there. The man to thank? Alex Novak of course.

This Saturday August 3rd sees The Pomfret Arms host the first ever AudioStage Festival. As we discussed last year, AudioStage is a platform for recording and interviewing artists in an online series format.

Acts from series 1 and 2 of AudioStage will appear, plus exclusive sneak previews of the upcoming acts in series 3, plus some extra guests. The full line-up is:
Corinne Lucy
The Drones Club
The Vincent Vega Band
Jess Orestano
EMPYRE
Humblebee
Jono And The Uke Dealers
Kenneth J Nash
Brazen Foxes
Jacob Brathwaite
Little Bitboy
L30 Robinson Artist
Har-Q

It opens at 2pm down at Cotton End, in Northampton. New Boots spoke to organiser Marcus Still…

How’s the AudioStage experience been so far? You’ve achieved a lot in first two series, and now the podcast too.
The AudiosStage experience so far has been really incredible. The number of acts we have worked with so far and the response we’ve had has restored our faith that people still care about unsigned musicians. It branches out further than we could’ve first imagined, with viewers and listeners all over the world now. The podcast we feel is our opportunity to have a chat to people we want to speak to, and hash out ideas amongst ourselves with invaluable advice from tried and tested experts in their fields for musicians. Also it’s a really good chance to have a bit of a laugh and relax while still providing entertaining content for our viewers and listeners.

What’s been your personal highlight so far of working on AudioStage?
My personal highlight is really difficult to pick from if I’m honest, there are so many amazing moments, breathtaking performances, hilarious interviews and podcasts etc. But from an achievement stand point I think it was the birth of the concept. It will always be the day I realised that I could do something with this passion for trying to elevate musicians, and try to get their great music to the masses.

Can you tell us anything about series 3 yet? When’s it coming/who appears etc?
I can: we have a release date of August 5th, which is only 2 days after the festival! Obviously we’ve released a bit of a teaser in regards to promo, you’ve already seen Steph Brown and Kev Minney on the date announcement social media post, no doubt more will follow and we will tease you with some more artists from series 3. We are going to playing some previews at the festival on August 3rd, which is where people will get the ability to check out the videos before they are released to the general public, so even more reason to come down!

Northampton sees a couple of big shows happening this weekend!

This year is the 40th anniversary of Madness, the north London Nutty Boys with the multiple hit singles and albums. They celebrate this feat with a number of large shows, including an open air concert at Franklin’s Gardens, this Friday June 28th.

Speaking recently about their longevity, frontman Suggs commented: “I think the reason we endure is that we genuinely do enjoy ourselves. From the very beginning you could see the joy in the early videos we made and hear it in the records. The fact that we were friends before this band started is key. I genuinely think the whole spark or art of craft and creativity was a by-product of our friendship. I think that’s what people feel. It’s a genuine experience”.

Ticket prices start from £40 and include pitch standing, seating and accessible tickets. Paid car parking is also available at the venue.

Also this weekend sees Chic songwriting legend Nile Rodgers at the Saints rugby ground too, on Sunday June 30th. Speaking about the live shows, Rodgers enthuses about the response they get. “We really believe in having fun” he explains. “Good times and happiness. People tell us that the happiness seems to last. Like in other words, after the show is over you’re still happy the next day! You’re still thinking about ‘man we had a blast last week’. I mean for me, at my age, having done so much music and have an audience really appreciate it, it blows me away…I don’t think there’s anywhere I can go on the planet where I can’t go ‘1,2, aaaah’ and then they go ‘freak out’’. It’s the funniest thing”.

Ticket prices start from £31.88 excluding booking fee.
