Addition to tomorrow's bill @ Voodoo!!!!!!!! LADS ARE IN TOWN FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY THE PRELUDE www. myspace. com/theprelude1 CLASH MAGAZINE SEPTEMBER 07 ISSUE - FEATURED IN ONES TO WATCH "Any group who refer to the guitar as ‘the gitbox’ are always going to be worth a listen. Describing themselves as ‘less rock and more roll’, Liverpool’s The Prelude are a bewildering proposition. Melding Dylan with the wildness of The Pogue’s they have crafted a sound that is drowning in whiskey, rhythm and thought. Tight, dextrous and laden with hooks it would be easy to get lost in their unified Irish jamboree of big choruses and whimsical folk. However beneath the collective euphoria lies true lyrical depth. Telling sad stories with an expert eye, eloquent narratives rich in texture are weaved; all pathos, melancholy and social observation. Overwhelming live, it would be impossible to not be swept up in their shamelessly high spirits. Not to mention the all-for-one-hedonism of their after parties which are so raucous they provoked a Neighbourhood Watch protest march. "
