The Deirdres

We had a spiffing time last night and enjoyed the whole fantastically organised day. Thanks to Mat for the Michael Aspel rap.

And so, in the words of the Very Reverend Fairy…

AND THAT’S A RAP!

What: A rare Deirdres live performance
Host: The Dust Collectors
Start Time: Saturday, April 25 at 3:00pm
End Time: Sunday, April 26 at 12:00am

We hope you can make it. If you miss this one, there’s a jolly good chance you won’t have your face spazzed off by us again. See you tomorrow!

This is, exactly, how our first Can You Say Nincompoop gig in Melbourne went last night:

4/7ths of the deirdres are at home in England (I think), 2/7ths are in New Zealand, and the final 7th is in Australia. So this is a truly international ‘Merry Christmas’!

Naturally, we haven’t recorded a Christmas song this year (to the best of my knowledge, which is quite limited being in Sydney and all), so how about our previous two Christmas songs? The first was recorded on a webcam in 2006, and the second was recorded for, and released by Cherryade on their ‘A Very Cherry Christmas vol 3′ compilation last year. This years one is available at the Cherryade site where you should also be able to buy our most recent single Milk Is Politics on white 7″ vinyl. Unless its sold out since I left the country.

Finally, 3/7ths of the deirdres, plus a deirdre WAG are going to have a bash at playing a gig in Melbourne next month, under the name ‘Can You Say Nincompoop’. If you happen to fancy a day-trip to Melbourne to support us (come on Jono2CV, you know you want to!), Fairy will be organising flights etc. So ask him.

Cherryade is delighted to present its 20th release, the debut vinyl single by rising pop starlets The Deirdres, “Milk Is Politics/Sir Michael Of Aspel,” to be released on snowy white vinyl on Nov 17th. It’ll be available through all good record shops (distributed by Cargo), on iTunes, and available to pre-order on the Cherryade website: www.cherryademusic.co.uk/sales.html.

The Deirdres. Does that name sound familiar? After various performances on quality television programmes such as Poker Star World Cup Poker and the Antiques Roadshow, it’s really not surprising!

The Deirdres formed in 2006 and since then the enchanting Derby-based 7-piece have been spellbinding audiences up and down the country and even as far afield as Sweden and Denmark with their gloriously shambolic and spontaneous live shows and magical pop. They appeared at this summer’s IndieTracks festival, and have played gigs with the likes of Bearsuit, The Bobby McGee’s, Horowitz, MJ Hibbett, and many more. The Deirdres are like a soundtrack to your dreams, a glorious, hedonistic mix of an infinite number of instruments, joyous vocals and beautifully addictive melodies.

Having recently released and toured an EP with Swedish record label, Cosy Den, Cherryade is delighted to present the Deirdres debut UK release, a double A-side featuring the stunning Milk Is Politics and the fantastic Sir Michael Of Aspel, which tells the story of the bands TV appearance on the Antique’s Roadshow; find out more at www.myspace.com/thedeirdres. There are only 500 copies available so don’t miss out!

Unlike most animals that hibernate, we are trying to avoid hoarding shit, so we’re going to have a bit of a CD clearout. For a grand total of 8 pounds, we’ll send you a little CD bundle of handmade copies of the following:

The new EP ‘Why Do My Glasses Give You The Heeby Jeebys’
The old single ‘Dinosaurs That Can Swim’
A special handmade Swedish EP that features an unreleased bonus track.
PLUS a mystery piece of deirdre memorabilia that will probably sell on eBay for loads of money when you’re sick of us.

EDIT: SORRY, NOW WELL AND TRULY SOLD OUT!

Those lucky enough to be at last night’s rather fun gig at Vines would have seen the debut our new video to Milk is Politics. Well, here it the synced version!

The final gig before hibernation! Facebook infos.

See you there,
