Well the singer is the lovely Wyatt, otherwise known as the guitarist of the Aislers Set who writes and sings the odd song. Including another very pretty song on their new Attraction Action Reaction 7", which he sang at the Monarch in London on Sunday. Bless 'im...
so i thought i'd add a little aislers family tree. sorry if it's a bit nebulous or uninformed. wyatt's also in another band called Trackstar. whose first record on SubPop-relative DieYoungStayPretty is pretty fabulous and probably still pretty available. Trackstar sounds completely unlike Aislers Set -- much more in the vein of uh Unwound, maybe. but with a little more jangle and hook. they have been playing out lots lately and are working on another record. all of the other Aislers are/were-recently in other bands, too: Alicia (bass) is in the wonderful, kraftwerk-and-new-order pop-ish #Poundsign, Jen (keys) is part of the tweelovelyasallgetout band the Fairways, and Yoshi was of late in Scenic Vermont (late-90s album released on Seattle imprint Suicide Squeeze), and also played in emo-faves Fisticuffs Bluff way back when. And, as no one has mentioned this, Amy's previous band was the marychain-meets-something-far-louder Henry's Dress, whose two genius records will rattle your bits and pieces with feedback until you're feeling warm and fuzzy, and are maybe still available on Slumberland. some urls, in case you're inclined: (fairways) http://www.epitonic.com/artists/thefairways.html (slumberland) http://www.dropbeat.com/slrland/index.html (#poundsign) http://www.poundsign.net or www.fantasticpop.com (trackstar) http://www.spineless.com/trackstar.html hope that helps, if you've had any lingering questions. now, back to lurking on all the smut and debauchery. ian c +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
