Finally good news for me. I am returning to NYC tomorrow. By no later than the weekend I’ll have news from the label that I hope everyone will enjoy.

Other than that I am starting to feel that maybe I can return to the old pace of the blog, with more posts and reviewing new releases. Let’s see how next week goes with the current way of doing things on the blog, and maybe I can organize myself to have a much more on-top of things blog.

Another band I tried to interview was Stephen Maughan’s Denver.

I had interviewed Stephen about Bulldozer Crash, the wonderful band he was in before. As you know he was also on Kosmonaut and more recently on The Memory Fades. On top of that he was the creator of the legendary fanzine This Almighty Pop!

Denver was his project in the late 80s, releasing a few records.

The first one he released was the “World of Pages” 7″ on Elefant Records (ER-167). That was the A side and the B side was “Elizabeth Brown’s Wedding Day”. That was actually one of my questions, who was Elizabeth Brown!

This 7″ came out in 1997 with the sleeve showing a sunflower. It is also worth noting that Jyoti Mishra from White Town played keyboards on “World of Pages”.

In 1998 the band released a split 7″ on the Blackbean And Placenta Tape Club (ACME 25). The 7″ split was shared with Orange Cake Mix. Each band contributed two songs. Denver appeared on the A side with “My Rising Sun” and “Amber”.

Denver would work again with Blackbean and Placenta Tape Club. They would release “This Ain’t Funky Music” (BBPTC 117), a single-sided mini L with 5 songs. The songs were “Have You Ever Felt Like This”, “All That Ever Mattered”, “Margery Vickery”, “Echoes of You” and “Jupiter”. I have never heard this record sadly!

The only other release was an appearance on the compilation “Hard on the Eyes, Easy on the Hears”. This CD comp came out on Blackbean and Placenta Tape Club (ACME10) and included their song “Echoes of You”.

I found another song that remains unreleased: “Autosequence Interference“. It is on Stephen’s Youtube account.

I wonder then if there are more songs? I hope we find the answers after writing this post. And maybe there will be a chance for the interview to get answers. That’d be cool. Who remembers them?
