The Only Ones To Play ATP!!!

Amazing news - The Only Ones are playing All Tomorrows Partys at Minehead.

From the website:

The Only Ones (1976 - 1981) were a rare example of that magical 'thing' that bands sometimes posses, which encapsulates the whole myth and legend of Rock n Roll. Naturally, effortlessly. There appeal owed a lot to the good looking, charismatic leader/singer/songwriter/rhythm guitarist, Peter Perrett, who's innate decadence and hedonistic nature propelled him and his band into a grey area of Pop Music that the media find curious, but potentially dangerous, in the Only Ones case, too dangerous. Not for the same kind of reasons that gave The Sex Pistols their notoriety, but reasons implied by the very negative tangible effects of Perrett's form of 'decadence'.

Peter's songs, combined with his beautifully laconic, languid vocal delivery and John Perry's Hendrix meets Mick Ronson guitar lines were like a breath of fresh air to a Punk Rock scene that was fast imploding through its general lack of musicianship and naiveté/immaturity. Former Spooky Tooth drummer Mike Kellie and bass player Alan Mair powered the rhythm section.

Although the band were falling apart gradually from day one, The Only Ones somehow balanced themselves precariously enough to record three albums for CBS, with whom they had a very volatile relationship, CBS maintaining Perrett & Co were 'difficult to market'. Although the albums all charted, the single 'Another Girl Another Planet' is probably the bands defining moment reaching number 57 in 1978. A pure adrenaline rush of a pop song. (Words Andy Blade)

The Only Ones inevitably disintegrated following a disastrous scandal ridden American tour. Despite being short lived, The Only Ones have been very influential on the alternative rock scene ever since, with bands such as The Replacements and The Libertines covering their most famous track "Another Girl, Another Planet"

We are incredibly privileged and unbelievably excited that The Only Ones are to perform at ATP with the full original line up for the first time in 25 years! Get ready to be taken to another planet!!

Edie Sedgwick

Before the hype in the new Sienna Miller film gets out of hand, and all of the style mags start doing mock Warhola-factory photo shoots, I wanted to remind you of a couple of our old Edie Sedgwick posters:

I'm Not Living In The Real World
Current mood: artistic
Category: Music

... and I'm not. Having an Blondie "Eat To The Beat" moment:

(Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, UH
ONE TWO A-ONE TWO THREE FOUR!!!)

Every day you've go to wake up
Disappear behind your makeup
Take away your calendar watch
And you can't keep track until your heart attack

Hey, I'm living in a magazine, page to page in my submarine
Hey now, Cindy, you can't get to me
Need an elevator? Hey, I'll see you later

Cause I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
No more, no more, yeah

I can be whatever I want to
I talk to me, I even agree
Every day's a holiday
You can look through the glass and take a photograph

You will never ever walk on the moon, leave your body and float
through the room
You could never conquer me
Cause I'm not here and you're not there, yeah

And I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
No more, no more, yeah

Didn't I ever tell you I was gone?
Didn't I ever tell you I was gone? Bye bye

I can do anything at all
I'm invisible and I'm twenty feet tall
Pull the plug on your digital clock
And it all goes dark and the bodies stop

Hey, I'm living in a magazine, page to page in my teenage
dream
Hey, now, Mary, you can't follow me
Without a satellite - I'm on a power flight

Cause I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
No more, no more

I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
I'm not living in the real world
No more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more
No more, no more, no more...

Pix added

Found a load of old pix so stuck 'em up, mostly from 2nd European tour. I'm finding stuff here, there and everywhere at the moment so who knows what will turn up! Listening to the Basement Jaxx sinlges collection and the new Prince album, so getting funky. Reading "I Am A Cat" written in 1905 Japan by Soseki Natsume - highly recommendable when you're crashed out in the sun. Just saw the Johnny Cash film - but I always thought he went to a cave for 3 days and found redemption. That's Hollywood for you.
