Jeff Cotton - Does It Work For You (Official Video) Madfish 2022-07-28 | Pre-order The Fantasy of Reality: jeffcotton.lnk.to/fantasyofrealityFrom Jeff: "Greetings and Aloha to all my music loving friends! The single, Does it Work for You, the first tune on my new album, “The Fantasy of Reality,” exemplifies the overall sentiment of this new work. I sincerely hope that you experience some of the “old magic”, and pick up on the lyrical positivity. We’re all in this together, and because there’s never been a time quite like this, it is good that we remind one another, that in spite of it all, love is our “reality”. Enjoy InJoy."Jeff Cotton of Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band fame to release his first ever solo album - The Fantasy of Reality. After playing guitar, lap steel and vocals with the legendary Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band, appearing on the ground breaking album Trout Mask Replica (under the pseudonym Antennae Jimmy Semens), as well as playing on Strictly Personal & Mirror Man, Cotton withdrew from the commercial music business for nearly 50 years. Using the island state of Hawaii as a home base, he emerges from his seclusion in 2022 with his first ever solo album; The Fantasy of Reality.Whimsical, playful and tongue-in-cheek - Cotton delivers a psychedelic journey that will delight Beefheart devotees while bringing plenty of new ideas to the table across the sprawling 22 track, 66 minute runtime. Trout Mask Replica cover designer Cal Schenkel collaborates once again as he returns to contribute to the internal artwork of the album to continue the Captain Beefheart canon into the 2020s. Across the decades, the Magic Band’s power and influence has only grown in might, and the cult following of 1969’s Trout Mask Replica still excites fans to this day, in part due to the mystery and enigma of members such as Antennae Jimmy Semens (aka Jeff Cotton). In 1967, Cotton was scoped by Don Van Vliet - Captain Beefheart himself, replacing Ry Cooder on guitar. He then went one to help craft some of Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band's most vibrant recordings and later contributed to the cult band MU.Now blending together musical strands such as jazz, delta blues, Hawaiian and the avant-garde to create a melting pot of ideas, Cotton will astonish fans with his comeback. The magic will continue on The Fantasy of Reality, available on CD via Madfish

Vivian Stanshall - Id Rather Cut My Hands - official promo video (from the album Dog Howl In Tune) Madfish 2023-11-07 | Vivian Stanshall - I'd Rather Cut My Hands - official promo video from the album Dog Howl In Tune - out now on MadfishAvailable to order here: vivianstanshall.lnk.to/DogHowl_RawlinsonsEndFollowing the release of Vivian Stanshall’s albums ‘Dog Howl In Tune’ and ‘Rawlinson’s End’ both of which recieved an official release on Madfish Music earlier this year, a second single has been cherry picked, in the form of ‘I’d Rather Cut My Hands’.Of the many standout tracks on the recently released Top Ten album by Vivian Stanshall - Dog Howl in Tune – ‘I’d Rather Cut my Hands’ is arguably the most enduring. The song features Viv at his most honest, lamenting the fact that as he would rather 'cut his hands' than let someone touch his beloved musical instruments, why on earth was he willing to allow one night stands to ‘play around with him’? This recording from 1991, released for the first time as a single, features a bravura performance from Stanshall, ably backed by a band featuring rock legends such as Jack Bruce, (Cream, John Mayall), Ollie Halsall, (Patto, Kevin Ayers) and Roy Martin, (Aretha Franklin, Ant n Dec). The previously ‘lost’ audio was restored, augmented and produced by Andy Frizell, and the video, which combines footage from Viv’s 1991 BBC Late Show special, the latest technology and specially shot new material, was edited and produced by Michael Livesley.Vivian Stanshall Online:facebook.com/OfficialBonzostwitter.com/OfficialBonzostwitter.com/Madfishmusicinstagram.com/madfishmusicfacebook.com/madfishlabelmadfishmusic.com
Mott the Hoople - All The Young Dudes - 50th Anniversary box set trailer Madfish 2023-10-24 | Mott The Hoople "All the Young Dudes - 50th Anniversary Edition" box set is released 8 December 2023 by Madfish Pre-orders available here: https://MOTT.lnk.to/All_The_Young_dudes_boxThis deluxe box set will be released as a high quality, limited edition, 5-disc set with rare tracks and previously unreleased song versions:*2LP in Gatefold Sleeve - LP1 Remastered Album / LP2 Rare Mixes and Session Tracks*2CDs: CD1 Remastered Album / CD2 Rare Mixes and Session Tracks*12” Single, with rare ‘Unlocked Cars’ version of ‘All the Young Dudes’ + ‘One of the Boys’ (US Single Version)*72-Page Hardback Book with liner notes by Mott the Hoople and Ian Hunter biographer Campbell Devine*2 Posters, 3 Art Prints, ‘Sea Divers’ Fan Club Card and an Individually Numbered CertificateAll the Young Dudes, Mott’s 5th studio album, remains a special and vital record. Released in the UK 8 September 1972, the title track (penned by David Bowie) became their highest-charting hit single. Also including a spritely, ‘definitive’ cover of Lou Reed’s classic ‘Sweet Jane’, the inventive and suggestive ‘Momma’s Little Jewel’, the Stones-styled ‘Jerkin’ Crocus’ and Mick Ralphs’ heartfelt ‘Ready for Love’, the album has been termed “the ultimate document of an era.” Mott the Hoople occupies a unique place in the annals of international rock music. Oozing style, attitude and unpredictability, the band recorded a peerless legacy of songs combining homage, honesty and killer hooks. As Mott’s focal point, lead singer Ian Hunter was also one of the toughest and most inventive writers of the early Seventies. Over the years, Mott the Hoople has been cited as an inspiration by Queen, The Clash, Kiss, Primal Scream, Mötley Crüe, Cheap Trick and Def Leppard, whose frontman Joe Elliott remains a devoted fan. Linked to the Ziggy Stardust story, Mott’s rendition of ‘All the Young Dudes’ remains the definitive version of David’s masterpiece. The album proved inspirational and is still a record that excites and resonates decades later. “Mott the Hoople was the greatest rock’n’roll band ever.” JOE ELLIOTT (DEF LEPPARD)“Raw, fun, angry, glorious and jagged... Mott was everything.” BRIAN MAY (QUEEN)“If it hadn’t been for Mott, there would be no us.” MICK JONES (THE CLASH)

Nirvana were essentially the duo of Irishman Patrick Campbell-Lyons and Greek Alex Spyropoulos – who, following a chance meeting in London during the summer of 1966, took a long, strange trip together.It’s the first time the band’s recorded output has ever been collated together on one release and is an engrossing body of work to explore. These albums sit comfortably with some of the other great works of the time – the Zombies, The Kinks and the Pretty Things included. And whilst Nirvana are most famous for their British psychedelic classic ‘Rainbow Chaser’, as the music contained here displays, there was so much more to them than just that celebrated single, for they reached far and wide into the musical stratosphere with a technicolour vision. Four of the original albums have been remastered from their original ¼ inch tapes and the box itself comes with a 52-page booklet featuring liner notes from renowned author Peter Doggett, interviews with Patrick & Alex from Nirvana, full discography, rare newspaper clippings, previously unseen photos, posters and sleeves, and an exclusive Gered Mankowitz print signed individually by the band. Of key interest to fans will be the ‘Secrets’ album which was only recently unearthed in its entirety, its origins began as a musical score that Nirvana had planned on bringing to London’s Theatres and stages in the early Seventies. Nirvana’s story remains a wonderful tale of artistic ambition and entwined within it lies a roll call of supporting cast heroes that includes The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Traffic, Chris Blackwell, Salvador Dali, Francoise Hardy, Tony Visconti, and many more. The enduring beauty of Nirvana is, that over 5 decades since their paths crossed, Patrick and Alex remain good friends to this day with both of them residing in Greece. Says Patrick Campbell-Lyons, “Now, as young elderly men, I can say with pride and joy that our friendship is as strong as it was fifty years ago. We see each other often, here in Athens, and respect each other’s creative space. And once in a while we write and record a new song together. Those moments are special, like our friendship.” This box out now on the Madfish label through Snapper Music.

The Pretty Things - Aint No Grave (from Bare as Bone, Bright as Blood) Madfish 2021-01-28 | The Pretty Things have shared a video for ‘Ain’t No Grave’ taken from their acclaimed final record ‘Bare As Bone, Bright As Blood’, out now Madfish MusicOrder/save: Bare As Bone. Bright As Blood: theprettythings.lnk.to/BareAsBoldBrightAsBloodThe new animated video serves as a retrospective on the iconic British bands career as we explore a dilapidated house full of visual nods and tributes to the influential group and lyrics from the Blues classic. The Pretty Things take on ‘Aint No Grave’ is minimalist and haunting, the late and dearly missed Phil May gifting us with an intimate, reserved, growling vocal accompanied by Dick Taylor’s rasping slide guitar and Sam Brothers’ lonesome harmonica.Dick Taylor, Guitarist, The Pretty Things:“I was totally knocked out by the video when I saw it for the first time and, I must admit, truly moved by the poignancy of it, the atmosphere we hoped to create with the album is reflected perfectly as is the span of our career, I am sure Phil would have approved.”Links:http://www.theprettythings.comhttp://www.facebook.com/The-Pretty-Thingsmadfishmusic.com

Says Patrick Campbell-Lyons, “Now, as young elderly men, I can say with pride and joy that our friendship is as strong as it was fifty years ago. We see each other often, here in Athens, and respect each other’s creative space. And once in a while we write and record a new song together. Those moments are special, like our friendship.” This box out now on the Madfish label through Snapper Music.
