Hello folks,

All quiet on the Eastern front...we have a new digital-only release out this week...

If you're an indie music fan then you'll know the band Heavenly, formed from the ashes of Talulah Gosh featured Amelia Fletcher, Matthew Fletcher, Peter Momtchiloff, Cathy Rogers and Rob Pursey. Signed to Sarah records in 1990 they released four albums and seven singles...and a split one with Bis on a US label.

We've just reissued their fourth and final album, OPERATION HEAVENLY digitally (an LP may follow but not for a while) so you should be able to find it on all your favourite streaming/download sites like Apple Music, Spotify etc...

Sometime later this year we should have a full Heavenly singles album on LP and CD...stay tuned.

AND DON'T FORGET THE

New 7” single from our latest signings!

We've started the pre-sale for the new 7” single by Danish/Brazilian garage sensations The Courettes!

They're going fast so don't leave it too long.

For more on the band and their mighty fine new disc read on below!

All being well the release date is still May 22nd, but obviously this could change given the current situation but seems to be fine.

They were actually the last band we saw before the lockdown, in Paris on the 12th March, a great show.

“The real deal. The most authentic '60s inspired garage rock since Thee Milkshakes were around”.

Lee Cotterell (Vive Le Rock)

The Courettes are a garage duo sensation from Brazil and Denmark!

One of the most hard-working bands on the scene, The Courettes have been busy delivering their full-speed energetic performances (more than 250 concerts!) in 15 countries around Europe and Brazil.

Aside from their touring The Courettes have been hard at work at their own StarrSound Studios working on new songs for their as yet untitled third album, to be released later this year by Damaged Goods. This brand new limited edition single is taken from those sessions and is a great taster of things to come!

The duo's previous single releases include the Spector-Esque single 'Christmas (I Can Hardly Wait)', a girlie pop Christmas anthem filled with fuzzed-out guitars and trashy jingle bells (released by Danish label Crunchy Frog) and 'Too Late To Say I'm Sorry' 7” EP with four killer tracks recorded/mixed by Liam Watson at ToeRag Studios (released by Portuguese label Groovie Records). And not forgetting the explosive single 'Boom! Dynamite!' (Bachelor Records, Austria, 2016), and 'Hoodoo Hop', a split with Powersolo (Sounds of Subterrania, Germany, 2017)

Previous albums include Here are the Courettes (Sounds of Subterrania, Germany, 2015), a shaking live album Alive from Tambourine Studios (Chaputa Records, Portugal, 2017), and the second studio album, We Are The Courettes (Sounds of Subterrania, Germany, 2018).

And that's about it for now...we are working on the June releases from RABIES BABIES (https://damagedgoods.co.uk/discography/rabies-babies-rabies-babies/) and lovely new limited 7" from Mr Billy Childish as well and they should be closely followed by a new Australian band's debut 7" (more on that soon) and a very lovely limited edition 7" from Sensible Gray Cells, That's Captain Sensible and Paul Gray from The Damned and Marty Love from Johnny Moped & The Weird Things.

A new SENSIBLE GRAY CELLS album is nearing completion and will be out later in 2020

Check out their Facebook page for a few videos of work in progress.

So, stay safe, stay in and hopefully, we'll all be in a better place in a month or two.

Cheers

Ian & Duncan
