The Very Things

Indie art-pop since 1983.

'THE ALBUM’S TITLE TRACK ‘MR. ARC-EYE’ IS A LIVE STUNNER!' Just when we’d started to wonder whether it really happened, there’s a fabulous review of our Castle & Falcon gig @livewire_music to remind us of an amazing night.

‘IT WAS A TRIUMPH!’ So says Freddie @PMMusicCafe Thanks to the lads for the splendid review of the gig in Brum and for spinning ‘Ghost Pool’ and ‘Time Is Not On My Side’ on the latest show. IT'S TOP RADIOPHONIC ENTERTAINMENT.

BLIMEY, WHAT A NIGHT! Thank you for all your brilliant feedback about our gig @castle_falcon on Sunday, can’t tell you how amazing it felt to be on the receiving end of so much love for our songs new and old. Just… overwhelming.

’DRIVER’ is rumbling out from the latest @PMMusicCafe with a review of last Sunday’s gig in Brum coming on tonight’s show, says Freddie. Bloody marvellous, thanks lads.

TOP OF THE SHOW @PMMusicCafe it’s ‘The Bushes Scream While My Daddy Prunes’, title track of our hit indie album from 1984, clanging over the airwaves. Thanks lads! Marvellous to hear that you’re coming to the gig in Brum – see you there!

The Spinning Man No. 778 is BLLLLISSTERING! Splendid tracks include wonderful D-Cell Games and Omniwhores tunes. BIGGEST THANKS to Shend for spinning The Very Things GXL’s 'Titanic Suit’ and his lovely chat about our forthcoming gig in Brum.

We worked on the ‘Motortown’ album during much of 1986. It included our version of ‘There’s A Ghost In My House’, which is now spinning on @PMMusicCafe thanks to the fab Freddie & Charlie.

STANDBY FOR ACTION! Coming soon – ‘Ghost Pool’ single and video. Here’s a snapshot from the video shoot, with Svor looking a bit deranged. And the track is on the latest @PMMusicCafe show, thanks to Freddie & Charlie.

Utterly surreal. A quiz with a TVT question.

@MrWhendle That is positively surreal, Mr Whendle.

[The Very Things @TheVeryThings1]

We had the disturbing, exciting 1953 biopic 'Houdini' in mind when finding seance samples for track ‘I Said Yeah’. The film's final 10 minutes are on YouTube. The tune is now spinning on the latest @PMMusicCafe show. Thanks lads.

LAUNCH ANGELS 1, 2 AND 3. SPECTRUM IS GREEN. PROTECT THE VERY THINGS GXL. Hear those beautiful jets wailing at the end of ‘Hop On Pop’, now spinning on @PMMusicCafe
Big thanks to Freddie & Charlie.
