WatchWell the puppet theatre gig was awesome. Something Good will continue in various forms. Mat and grudgingly Jim will probably run it, with interference from me, and I’ll try and get them to update on here. Maybe we could start a mailing list? If you want newsletter-style-contact from us please email writegracesomethinggood@gmail.com with the subject TELL ME GOOD THINGS. Thanks guys, you are...

WatchTransept are a hard band to pin down. I described them like this, not so long ago: ‘Transept are three telepathic omnichordologists, gently vengeful omnipresences, nonchalantly making music emanate as if it is a side-product of the intent interest they show in passing objects.’ But that isn’t quite hitting the nail on the head. Jason of Planet Beet infamy described them like...

Hitting the Big Time
So here’s what Outline Magazine is saying about tonight’s gig:
‘The crypt at Take 5, which, in my less than humble opinion, is one of the best venues in the city, are celebrating the second birthday of the Something Good nights on the 5th, featuring - among others - the lyrical talents of Sparky Deathcap (of Los Campesinos infamy) and The Bumblebees, who sound proper young but I...

This likely lad was going to come and sing some songs in his lovely north-eastern lilt, but unfortunately he now can’t. But his name - Winona Forever - is already on the posters. Sorry about that. Winona NEVER, more like. Post your aggrievances to Discount Horse Records, Durham, Loserville.
***EDIT*** Turns out Norwich was too tempting to pass up, so he is coming! Hooray! Forever and ever...
Lloyd DeBeer has a name you won’t forget, a face that launched a thousand ships and music that commands attention, despite it’s often hushed delivery. I’m not going to talk crap about his cryptic lyrics, because I’ll just feel like an idiot. But you’ll like him. He conjures pictures in the air. Yes, he does. The band name - The Captain and Arthur - usually refers to...

Mat Riviere - who is reluctantly one of the Something Good number - is currently in the somewhat drawn out process of releasing his album, a slow-burning undercurrent of warmth and discomfort: Follow Your Heart. Brainlove Records are the lucky buggers who got hold of him first and wrestled his fame-shy frame into the spotlight. In celebration, we are inviting the whole of Norwich for an awkward...

breaking news: Shwervon! in town
To all who revel in anti-folk/olive juice, this will be GOOD NEWS. The almighty Schwervon! are planning a UK tour in December and will be stopping off in Norwich to foster something good.
All the way from New York y’all. Keep your ears close to the ground: early december, probably in a crypt, hopefully supported by alto 45.
