Hello folks,
Happy Friday to you all. Strange days eh! Things are a bit quiet on the release front but there's still fun to be had. Here's how...
The Galileo 7 will be appearing on Shindig! Magazine's Lockdown Festival tomorrow. An amazing line-up for this, should be great fun!
With the recent digital release of Heavenly's classic Operation Heavenly album, the band now have new official social media links. See below for more info.
Today is Captain Sensible's birthday! We'll be releasing a single and a full-length LP by the Sensible Gray Cells later in the year. More details on that further down.
And lastly, friend of the label Sexton Ming has been doing some streamed online shows - if you missed them don't worry, they're available to watch again!
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. Their classic Operation Heavenly album is now available digitally via all major platforms. The band also have some new and official social media, here are the links

SEXTON MING'S LUNCHTIME CONCERTS
Friend of the label Sexton Ming has been doing a series of streamed concerts - you can watch them via his Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/sexton.ming
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.
