The Keys [+]
£4 Entry
Born from the ashes of John Peel favourites – Murry the Hump, The Keys are a mighty fine beat combo from Cardiff made up of five players, they have a fine pedigree on the local scene and well beyond, they’ve previously supported Love legend Arthur Lee, and newer acts like Sleepy Sun and the Noisettes. They once even played a Christmas acoustic session in legendary John Peel’s house, more recently their infectious music has recently been played on Jonathan Ross’ Radio 2 show, Gideon Coe on 6Music and Adam Walton’s Sunday evening programme Mystery tour on Radio Wales.
The recent Le Mans EP showcased their angular, faux-psychedelia sounding more accomplished than ever, and deviated interestingly from the Murry template. The release was quickly followed by the Christmas EP, a million miles away from your cheesy over played Christmas hits that you’re be sick of by the end of December. A delightfully unassuming slice of Beatles-esque pop, a foot tapping, sleigh bell shaking, jaunt through the festive holiday period but will see you through the whole year!
The Keys’ new work ‘Fire Inside’ shows their progression as an act,they’re still informed by their classic 60s pop influences but noweach piece is more melodic and subtle; swirled with psychedelicpatterns: informed by cult legends like 13th floor Elevators, TheVelvet Underground and the Jesus and Mary Chain, whilst imbuing each homespun recording with a personal warmth and experimentalism that is informed by modern artists like Panda Bear of the Animal Collective and Spiritualized band leader Jason Pearce.
Fire inside is released on See monkey Do Monkey Recordings 7th June
2010, and followed by a 10 date UK tour.
