Last July

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:12:08 +0000

Last July, a journey began. One that would, in time, change both our lives. Dancing around coincidences, near misses and dark moments, we spiralled towards a central truth; an instinctive knowing that somewhere existed a twin spirit, a muse, the key to unlock doors we thought long closed.

Many things separate us, but more bind us together. You will hear this in our music. Drawing from years of experience and experimentation, from deep wells of childish curiosity and delight, we hope with our music to bring you something of ourselves.

About Us

Alix has been causing people eardrum trouble ever since she learned she had vocal cords. Finally learning to harness and direct this fearsome weapon, she subsequently joined several bands. This lead to surreal moments such as when one band supported Napalm Death; as well as excellent ones, like the time her old band Skelliga played the main stage at Strawberry Fair. In her spare time Alix helps to run the Burlesque Noir club Bump n Grindhouse.

Dave has been playing keyboards and mastering the frankly terrifying world of electronic music since his school days. He was a founding member of 90's pop group Slamm and spent most of the 90's touring the UK and Ireland, promoting their seven single releases and made numerous tv appearances, most memorable of which was when he was personally interviewed by two aliens on Blackpool beach! Previous bands have included 'The Children', 'My Zombie Lover' and also the project 'Summer Never Comes'; the morphogenesis of Last July.

Rock with Electronics
Live garage psych/blues/electronics improv rock. Debut gig for new project featuring MFU, The Doozer and Ben from United Snakes. Full vinyl album due out early 2009 on Outer Music.

Um
More often seen playing in Germany than in Cambridge lately in the company of Felix Kubin whose Gagarin label release the vinyl-only collection 'No Pressure' this year, UM makes an overdue return to Bad Timing.
'Junk shop electronica from a one man mind mental, there's some seriously barmy, disjointed vibes bouncing around in these bendy but catchy grooves. John Callahan, early Baby Bird, Wevie Stonder, Felix Kubin & Manchester's wonderful Superqueens are handy reference points.' Norman Records

Canaveral
We heart noise/electronics/lofi/randomness/weird shit and experiments. Cambridge-based almost lineup-free project, previously seen undermining Sic Alps, Elapse-O, a.P.A.t.T. and Rolo Tomassi in Cambridge.

Sublime pop magicians Goldfrapp visit the Cambridge Corn Exchange in October as part of their brand new UK tour.

This year has seen Goldfrapp cement their reputation as one of the best and most thrillingly inventive British live acts around.

Starting the year with unique acoustic show at London's Union Chapel through to spectacular main stage/headline performances at Glastonbury and Lovebox, the band have wowed audiences across the UK and Europe this year.

Live highlights so far include special performances at Royal Festival Hall and Royal Albert Hall complete with orchestra, choir and full band, and the Goldfrapp dancers - pole dancing lovelies and the surreal Rag Men - who thrilled and amused in equal measure. Their sold-out UK tour in June culminated with an electrifying Royal Albert Hall show that saw 5,000 people joyously singing along to recent hit single ‘Happiness'.

Goldfrapp have also become a firm favourite on the international festival circuit with memorable performances at Sonar, Roskilde and Coachella amongst others.

"A wildly inventive set" The Independent - Glastonbury Live Review

"A privilege to witness" The Observer
