brocco Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 DrownedinSound presents: JONNY - http://www.turnstilemusic.net/label/jonny/ Inter-twining the musical DNA of two of Britain’s most gifted songwriters, Jonny are Euros Childs (ex-Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci) and Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub). They first met when Teenage Fanclub and Gorky’s toured together in 1997. In 2001 Blake contributed guitar and vocal harmonies to Gorky’s bitter-sweet How I Long To Feel That Summer In My Heart. Euros remembers “it just felt like he was part of the band… from that point on it always felt like we might do something together in the future, it just took a few years to actually get it organised”. Euros eventually made it up to Norman’s house in Glasgow in 2006 to record “what we thought was an EP”, and the duo played a handful of rapturously received live shows, before finally getting down to putting a whole album together early in 2010. The name Jonny is inspired by the image that will grace the cover of the album. Blake came across the Polaroid on a friend’s website “and thought it would make a great record sleeve… and name for a band”. “Sleeve first, band-name after”, confirms Childs, “that’s always the best way”. Free four-track download EP of non-album songs available now at http://www.turnstilemusic.net/jonny-free-ep/ + LAURA J MARTIN – http://www.firstwordrecords.com/artists/laura-j-martin/ After her stunning performance supporting Broken Records in November, we just had to have her back. If you're yet to succumb to her charms, get down early and be astounded. And if you're already in the know, you've probably got a ticket. "As ethereal and otherworldly as Bat For Lashes ... her haunting musical tales remind me of listening to a young Kate Bush [and] her ability to take a pastoral folk sound and twist an electro beat around it puts me in mind of the great Alison Goldfrapp." - Amelia's Magazine @ The Harley, 334 Glossop Road, Sheffield, S10 2HW Doors: 7.30pm Age restrictions: 18+ Price: £7.50 Adv / MOTD Telephone: 0114 275 2288 TICKET OUTLETS Online: ArtistTickets - http://www.seetickets.com/at/price.asp?code=506365 SeeTickets - http://www.seetickets.com/Event/DROWNED-IN-SOUND-PRESENTS-JONNY/The-Harley/507195 WeGotTickets - http://www.wegottickets.com/event/95632 In person: Arcade - Division Street, Sheffield The Harley - Glossop Road, Sheffield The Wick At Both Ends - West Street, Sheffield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
