RELEASE DATE
6/9/2015
The
Nightingales
were formed by vocalist
Robert Lloyd
, formerly of
The Prefects
(part of
The Clash
's "White Riot Tour,"
John Peel
favorites, etc.), recorded a bunch of albums and 45s in the 1980s, and played shows throughout Europe as headliners and in support of acts as diverse as
Bo Diddley
and
Nico
, but stopped working when Lloyd decided to combine a solo career with money-earning manual labor. In 2004, Lloyd reformed the band, not as a nostalgia act performing old material for the entertainment of the affluent and aging ex-punk/indie brigade, but as an uncompromising, confrontational contemporary group. After much coming and going of various mercenary, starry eyed, wastrel and/or part time musicians, Lloyd met
Andreas Schmid
during the recording of
Insult to Injury
in 2008; Schmid joined the band and the group, as Lloyd says, "got good." The Nightingales then "got great" when former
Violet Violet
drummer
Fliss Kitson
joined the group before the recording of
No Love Lost
in 2012. This lineup (completed by original Prefect
Alan Apperley
on guitar) became a top-notch live unit and, following the sold-out, self-released
For Fuck's Sake
LP (2014), the streamlined four-piece Nightingales embarked on their most successful UK tour to date before writing and recording
Mind Over Matter
in September, 2014, at the end of a short tour of Germany and Austria.
Mind Over Matter
is a short, sharp blast of melody, rhythm, irritation, and humor. The group might play around but does not fuck around. They may indulge themselves but do not waste your time. They could be insane but are most certainly diligent. The album is released to coincide with a session for
Marc Riley
's BBC 6 Music show on May 13, before a tour of the UK and Ireland and trips to West Coast USA and mainland Europe. A compilation of covers of 'Gales songs by various fans/artists is also scheduled for release in 2015 or '16. Like the band's three preceding albums,
Mind Over Matter
was recorded in Germany at
Hans-Joachim Irmler
's Faust Studio and produced by the 'Gales bassist and Faust Studio house engineer Andreas Schmid.
