Go to http://www.myspace.com/blowuprecs or http://www.blowup.co.uk/records/ to listen to a preview of the album! 

As usual the band have made good use of their extensive collection of vintage (and temperamental) gear for Full English. Head honcho Nasser Bouzida (a.k.a the Bongolian) plays mini-VIP, Farfisa and Hammond organs, Wurlitzer piano, Moog synths and drums and percussion. Driving fuzz guitar and bass beat is provided by bassman Scott Milsom &quot;the Hawk&quot; and guitarist Trev Harding. The band have once again created a superb spaced-out selection of prime 60?s inspired dancefloor tracks: Northern Soul vibes with ?Black Eye?, Garage sounds with ?The Bloater?, Boogaloo with ?Pies and Pastiche? and even Samba with ?Full Brazilian?.

&quot;Silvery have produced a tribute to the one and only Toshihiro Nishikado to whom we give gratitude for the remarkable invention that it is Space Invaders - those little critters everyone knows and loves. With wild synth riffs and vocals resembling David Bowie, Silvery suck you in to the unrestrained indie madness. Identity and Murder Holes continue the fairground theme, with unruly synth sections distinguishing Silvery from current and past indie bands.&quot; KRUGER
 
&quot;Wow. Take a deep breath before you enter the crazy world of Silvery. The grandiose circus music of The Nishikado takes you on a whirlwind with its relentless and spiralling organs. The cacophony of different sounds can all get a bit confusing, until the chorus when the glorious mess seems to find it's way. The furious pace of the EP will have you bouncing off the walls and collapsed in an exhausted heap in the corner by the end. In the words of me Dad, &quot;What a bloody racket.&quot; But an utterly exhilarating racket, it has to be said.&quot; ARTROCKER RECOMMENDS]]></description><link>http://www.blowup.co.uk/records/#news58</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blowup.co.uk/records/#news58</guid><pubDate>Thu, 25 Jun 2009 09:34:57 GMT</pubDate><source url="http://www.blowup.co.uk/records">Blow Up Records</source><recordlabel:catno>BU051</recordlabel:catno><recordlabel:cattitle>The Nishikado E.P.</recordlabel:cattitle><recordlabel:catartist>Silvery</recordlabel:catartist><category>Blow Up Records</category></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mockingbird, Wish Me Luck - Rough Trade East In-Store - Sunday 7th June 2009]]></title><description><![CDATA[The second of 2 one-off UK dates for Blow Up's swedish indiepop 8 piece Mockingbird, Wish Me Luck (the first being the night before at the Blow Up club, supporting Lucky Soul).

Sat. 24th January 2009 - Blow Up - Opening Night at Bar Rumba -  (details below)

A bona-fide legendary club night, and now in its 15th year, Blow Up was the centre of the early to mid Nineties Brit Pop explosion, influencing the style and sound of a generation, and voted No.4 in Time Out's Top Ten Clubs of the 90s. From its original venue The Laurel Tree, Camden Town (1993-1996), to the Wag Club (1996-2001) and then to the Metro Club (2002-2009), Blow Up has continued its long run of sold out nights for over 15 years in an unbroken run. And now, after a seven year residency at the Metro Club, Blow Up will be held here for the very last time on Saturday 17th January 2009, which will also be the last ever night for the Metro Club itself, after which its doors will close forever as a live venue and club (for press release re. venue closure see: www.blowupmetro.com/closure.aspx).

The following week, on Saturday 24th January 2009, Blow Up will start a new Saturday night residency at Bar Rumba, 36 Shaftesbury Avenue. This is an exciting move for the club, signalling another new era with a shift back to the Wag-era concept of Blow Up - a bigger capacity with 2 sound systems once again, lights, visuals - and essentially a return to the larger weekly 'special event' featuring weekly live showcases as part of the club itself. Blow Up DJs Paul Tunkin and Ian Jackson will be also be joined by weekly guests DJs including some familiar names from over the club's history . 

Blow Up was founded by DJ and promoter Paul Tunkin in a Camden pub in Oct 1993. Records were played from the emerging 'British pop' scene (that came to be known as Brit Pop) together with Brit-centric 60s and 70s moves and grooves; swinging soundtracks to Mod Beat and Soul; classic pop from The Beatles to Bowie to Blur. The club still stays true to its early ideals - you will hear a selection of indie pop, new wave, pop electronique, underground 60s instrumentals, experimental grooves and easy listening - all sitting nicely alongside a selection of the current favs from artists such as MGMT and Vampire Weekend. Despite its love of buried treasures, Blow Up remains an accessible yet essential night that is always a great party, week after week, year after year.

METRO CLUB TO CLOSE - January 2009
*****************************************

On Tues 20th Jan 2009 The Metro Club, 19-23 Oxford Street, London will close.

This is due to the proposed Tottenham Court Road Station extension. We have been notified by Transport For London that the venue is to be acquired by a compulsory purchase order, under the Crossrail Act. 

Although the rumblings of Crossrail have been going on for many years it has come up far quicker than any of us could have expected. At present we are looking for new premises to relocate the venue to but have yet to find one suitable. Ultimately it is another nail in the coffin for Central London's live music and club scene. And when you are about to be served 28 days notice just before Christmas you have to ask why not give people more time to relocate? Why destroy successful businesses when in a recession? Why the hurry? Where is the Westend heading? 

The final club night of The Metro Club will be Sat 17th January 2009, which will be the Blow Up Club night, currently in it's 15th year. 

Blow Up took over the running of The Metro Club as a separate venture to our club night and record label on November 5th 2001, just as the new new wave of bands were about to really start making their moves, many of them at the venue. From debut UK appearances from The Killers, Kings of Leon, to early shows from Bloc Party, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Kaiser Chiefs, to hundreds of other new and breaking acts as well as a few legendary characters making an appearances such as Dion's first and only UK show in 18 years in 2007 and madcap krautrockers Faust. And to name a few from the pop world: MIKA (first ever show), Scissor Sisters and Robyn. 

A totally independent venue - not corporate - which is rare, and soon to be even more so in central London. 

Today we have launched a photo gallery on http://www.blowupmetro.com, featuring just some of the photos from our archives taken at the club over the last 7 years, with more to be added soon. 

If you would like to leave any comments on our closure, please leave them here on the official venue facebook page here:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/London-United-Kingdom/The-Blow-Up-Metro-Club/30711874380

Thank you to everyone who has supported the club. Please stay tuned and lets go out with a bang! 

Paul Tunkin

The double A-side is 'The Nod', a new non-album exclusive recording of a live favourite. Its the perfect showcase for their unique and riotous Victoriana inspired sound and a worldview that suggests a heady concoction of British Sea Power through a filter of Sparks, Bowie, XTC and Blur at their punky fairground best.

'Action Force is my favourite rapid-fire, jerky pop song of the year'

'Touches on Neu, bits of Eno or OMD or Doves or Sigur Ros and yes those bits of guitar did sound distinctly like the Bunnymen well before the sleeve notes were checked and Will Sargent's name was spied here and there. This is just a great album - nothing that obviously sounds like anyone or anything else. Just a rather beautiful and rather recommended instrumental album.' 
The Organ

<br /><br />
'Horrors'/'Orders' was the recent winner of Zane Lowe's Fresh Meat and was The Organ's single of the week:
<br /><br />
<a href='http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?i=273948252&id=273948249&s=143444'> <img src='http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.net/images/badgeitunes61x15dark.gif' alt='Silvery - Horrors / Orders - Single' width='61' height='15' border='0' align='absmiddle' /></img></a>
<br /><br />
'They've been one of London's best kept secrets for a little while now, packed out gigs in Camden and such, building a genuine following and a really worth of mouth flow. Silvery make timeless English pop music, a slighty quirky edge, nothing that ever stops that pop flow though. They have a slightly eccentric charm, a bright palette, those not quite pristine bandsman uniforms and those chiming keyboards. The debut album is not far away now, this should more than wet your appetite.' The Organ
<br /><br />
'What a little belter this is. Pure, head-on pop music, fabby guitar riffs, plumptious organ, verses, choruses, middle 8 - all present and correct. The AA side 'Orders' reminds me of early sparks, never a bad look. Intelligent stuff, quoting the right sources but never simply copying. This could be a very good year for Silvery. They should be filling the Radio 1 playlist in place of the ghastly Feeling. Buy this record.' Artrocker

Baltic Fleet is the work of Paul Fleming. Whilst on tour
playing keyboards for Echo and the Bunnymen Paul began
to write what would come to be his debut album. With a laptop and any instruments that were to hand he would capture, in music, what inspired him in each city around the world. In hotel rooms, tour buses, planes, at the end of radio sessions, every opportunity was taken and tracks gradually started to form into the album. A sound was born influenced by artists such as Eno, Doves, DJ Shadow and NEU!]]></description><link>http://www.blowup.co.uk/records/index.asp#news16</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blowup.co.uk/records/index.asp#news16</guid><pubDate>Mon, 25 Feb 2008 13:36:49 GMT</pubDate><source url="http://www.blowup.co.uk/records/">Blow Up Records</source><recordlabel:catno>BU045</recordlabel:catno><recordlabel:cattitle>'Black Lounge'/'3 Dollar Dress'</recordlabel:cattitle><recordlabel:catartist>Baltic Fleet</recordlabel:catartist><category>Blow Up Records</category><enclosure length="23538" url="http://www.blowup.co.uk/records/series/45newwave/images/BU045%20200px.jpg" type="image/jpeg" /></item><item><title><![CDATA['Horrors' by Silvery wins Zane Lowe's Fresh Meat on Radio 1]]></title><description><![CDATA['Horrors' - the A side of Silvery's forthcoming double-A single 'Horrors'/'Orders' this week won Zane Lowe's Fresh Meat contest on BBC Radio 1.]]></description><link>http://www.blowup.co.uk/records/index.asp#news15</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blowup.co.uk/records/index.asp#news15</guid><pubDate>Fri, 08 Feb 2008 19:00:31 GMT</pubDate><source url="http://www.blowup.co.uk/records/"> Blow Up Records</source><recordlabel:catno>BU044</recordlabel:catno><recordlabel:cattitle>Horrors/Orders</recordlabel:cattitle><recordlabel:catartist>Silvery</recordlabel:catartist><category>Blow Up Records</category><enclosure length="47516" url="http://www.blowup.co.uk/records/artists/silvery/images/BU044%20200px.jpg" type="image/jpeg" /></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blow Up Records New for 2008 - Bongolian, Silvery and Baltic Fleet releases coming soon]]></title><description><![CDATA[2008 is set to be the most release-packed year yet for Blow Up with several new projects from 2007 being wrapped up and set for release, including The Bongolian's 3rd album & debuts from new signings Baltic Fleet & Silvery:
