Send us a textSplash Stories welcomes vocalist and art historian David McAlmont for our June edition.David left the UK in 1978 when his family moved to Guyana in South America skipping the whole punk rock scene completely in the process before returning to read performing arts at Middlesex Polytechnic. His music career kicked off when he signed a publishing contract with Chrysalis Music in 1992  and gained recognition with London band Thieves. He then went solo securing a record deal with Virgin's Hut Records in 1994 and It was at this time that McAlmont performed live at The Splash Club  to critical acclaim. Music Newspaper Melody Maker journalist Taylor Parkes commented at the time : "One day he will open his mouth and a cathedral will fall out." We caught up with David to celebrate his past work with Bernard Butler and to discuss his new album Twilight with one of Splash Stories previous guests Hifi Sean. This summer sees David also playing Wall to Wall Bowie live on Aug 10 at Ronnie Scott's London.Support the showGet in touch with Splash Stories : splashclubtv@gmail.comwww.facebook.com/thesplashclubJoin Splash Stories https://www.buzzsprout.com/1891668/supporthttps://www.instagram.com/thewonderstuffofficial/https://www.instagram.com/rickywarwickofficial/https://www.instagram.com/echobelly_official/https://www.instagram.com/officialskunkanansie/https://www.instagram.com/feederofficial/https://www.instagram.com/kcmanc/?hl=enhttps://www.facebook.com/kerbdogband/https://www.instagram.com/sohoradiohttps://www.facebook.com/groups/SoundAsEverhttps://www.pearllowe.co.ukhttps://www.supergrass.comhttps://www.wienerworld.com/product/gary-crowleys-indie-90s-playback-classics-curveballs-and-bangers/Terrorvision Tequila : https://youtu.be/8hLQCA2h8kA?si=7_HfuruL5fFUnMdFhttps://linktr.ee/thesoupdragonshttps://www.merchbar.com/rock-alternative/cj-wildhearthttps://www.facebook.com/CJWildheartOfficial/https://www.instagram.com/cjwildheart/EMF www.emf-theband.comhttps://www.facebook.com/lustforlife1976/...

Send us a textSplash Stories chats with John Douglas celebrating the 20-year anniversary of milestone Trashcan Sinatras album Weightlifting & previewing his debut North American Tour kicking off October 1 2024  showcasing original material and new recordings of fave Trashcan Sinatras' material. Joined for West coast and Midwest dates by Lily Vakili of Vakili Band & for East Coast dates by award-winning singer-songwriter Lauren Calve & two special shows with fellow Trashcan Sinatras Frank Reader and Paul Livingston in Seattle, with Reader also joining Douglas in LA."'Weightlifting' was a milestone record in our journey. It took us a long time to make that record due to various hilarious sidetracks, including adventures in Japan with us as a six-piece band, and many many strung out, aimless days and nights in our adopted home of Kilmarnock, Scotland, a mad detour attempting to record in Hartford, USA (skillfully avoiding the nightly gunshots), and even a meeting with the landed gentry in Ayr County Court, where our banishment from the land of honest toil was finally ended," John Douglas."We returned from all those adventures with songs - songs of love, loss, redemption, forgiveness, bravado, friendship, wisdom, peace and tranquility. Songs that we swore ourselves to... and here we are 20 years on and it looks like we somehow built them to last. Somehow, from the chaotic depths, we found ourselves at the top of our game. It's a miracle of a record."American tour teaser https://youtu.be/ry6BtmCmYBA 'Weightlifting' https://youtu.be/FDFwypH-nIM'Apples & Oranges' video https://youtu.be/DCcXk4iUmU0 'I Just Want To Go Home' https://youtu.be/Fi7M96suf6A 'I'm Not the Fella' https://youtu.be/qBZFbBa0alg'Lost (Live Session)' https://youtu.be/veTlfuHc1m4'Lost' https://youtu.be/6ozacfOh_PEALBUM, DOCUMENTARY & TOUR INFO'John Douglas' album order (digital) https://revealrecords.lnk.to/JohnDouglas Bandcamp (CD & digital) https://johndouglas.bandcamp.com/album/john-douglas-2023Spotify https://open.spotify.com/album/08oykWwqbE7yvlHbUmG7grDocumentary https://soundcloud.com/ken-sweeney-991302946/tSupport the showGet in touch with Splash Stories : splashclubtv@gmail.comhttps://www.facebook.com/thesplashclubJoin Splash Stories https://www.buzzsprout.com/1891668/supporthttps://www.instagram.com/thewonderstuffofficial/https://www.instagram.com/rickywarwickofficial/https://www.instagram.com/echobelly_official/https://www.instagram.com/officialskunkanansie/https://www.instagram.com/feederofficial/https://www.instagram.com/kcmanc/?hl=enhttps://www.facebook.com/kerbdogband/https://www.instagram.com/sohoradiohttps://www.facebook.com/groups/SoundAsEverhttps://www.pearllowe.co.ukhttps://www.supergrass.comhttps://www.wienerworld.com/product/gary-crowleys-indie-90s-playback-classics-curveballs-and-bangers/Terrorvision Tequila : https://youtu.be/8hLQCA2h8kA?si=7_HfuruL5fFUnMdFhttps://linktr.ee/thesoupdragonshttps://www.merchbar.com/rock-alternative/cj-wildhearthttps://www.facebook.com/CJWildheartOfficial/https://www.instagram.com/cjwildheart/EMF www.emf-theband.comhttps://www.facebook.com/lustforlife1976/...

Splash Stories welcomes Chris Connelly talking from his home in Chicago for a memorable musical memoir amongst the streets the guts and the character of Edinburgh. His latest 8 track album 'The Lives and Loves of the Serial Homesick, Vol. 1'  is a paean to his city- and a beautiful and profound one at that - capturing the essence of his love for it through his music his art and his heartfelt lyricism.. Each album comes with its own drawing created by Connelly himself. In Connelly's words : " the album is rich with strong feelings of then and now, memories that may or may not be accurate, locations, events, friends and lovers. I want the listener to walk with me quietly through endless days and nights, through the streets of Edinburgh in the early 1980s, over the tenement rooftops, up the hills with cans of Red Stripe and a well stoked hash pipe. Sitting in the Wee Red Bar, Bannermans, The Gilded Balloon, or the Royal Circus. Playing endless nights of music with my beloved Fini Tribe, dancing at the Hoochie Coochie Club. I miss it badly and have never felt at home anywhere except Edinburgh, where my soul continues to walk the New Town streets and climb the hills,"Check it all out and enjoy his reminiscences too in our Splash Stories conversation'Fini Chagall' https://youtu.be/JWBTtdYPDqM'The Lives and Loves of the Serial Homesick, Vol. 1' albumhttps://chrisconnelly.bandcamp.com/album/the-lives-and-loves-of-the-serial-homesick-volume-1Spotify https://open.spotify.com/album/4jknruEhGgIBakqdA381lWApple Music https://music.apple.com/us/album/the-lives-and-loves-of-the-serial-homesick-vol-1/1733352012Amazonhttps://www.amazon.com/music/player/albums/B0CWN3WW9RLATEST RELEASES'The Birthday Poems' album feat.

Welcome to another Splash Story. This month Ben Steadman & Diamond Dave are joined by Kav Sandhu of Happy Monday's who joined Splash Stories from New York for a superb and heartfelt interview to talk about his Blitz Vega Band with the Smith's bass player Andy Rourke, his passing and plans to tour the album ‘Northern Gentleman', which was released on what would have been Andy's birthday January 17 2024 . The single Love City was released in May 2023.  Propelled by rattling beats, pulsating buzzsaw bass and the elegantly wasted rush of classic ‘70s NYC punk, ‘Love City' surges towards a frenetic finale and shows that Andy Rourke kept on expanding his horizons and delivering essential new music until the very end. Kav's assertive vocals lead the charge, his lyrics exalting the excitement and opportunities that come with his time living in the heart of LA.Kav told Splash Stories "Love City is about experiencing your own individual journey but ultimately ending up in the same place / viewpoint as the people you meet along the way. You can look at it simply as the magic of a great night out where everything falls into place or a life journey which shapes the way you think. But hopefully it makes you smile a little, it's a happy song.”Love City joins the previous singles Disconnected ,Strong forever, LA Vampire and Lost & Found in previewing the ‘Northern Gentleman' album. Titled in honour of Andy - the 10-track record documents the duo's time together: a record informed by their creative connection, their brotherhood and the spirit of pushing on in the face of overwhelming challenges (Andy's illness & Covid lockdown) and which features Johnny Marr contributing on guitar.https://www.instagram.com/kavblaggers/?hl=enhttps://www.facebook.com/KAVblaggers/?locale=en_GBhttps://www.facebook.com/BlitzVegamusic/?locale=en_GBhttps://www.instagram.com/blitzvega/?hl=enSupport the Show.Get in touch with Splash Stories : splashclubtv@gmail.comhttps://www.facebook.com/thesplashclubJoin Splash Stories https://www.buzzsprout.com/1891668/supporthttps://www.instagram.com/thewonderstuffofficial/https://www.instagram.com/rickywarwickofficial/https://www.instagram.com/echobelly_official/https://www.instagram.com/officialskunkanansie/https://www.instagram.com/feederofficial/https://www.instagram.com/kcmanc/?hl=enhttps://www.facebook.com/kerbdogband/https://www.instagram.com/sohoradiohttps://www.facebook.com/groups/SoundAsEverhttps://www.pearllowe.co.ukhttps://www.supergrass.comhttps://www.wienerworld.com/product/gary-crowleys-indie-90s-playback-classics-curveballs-and-bangers/Terrorvision Tequila : https://youtu.be/8hLQCA2h8kA?si=7_HfuruL5fFUnMdFhttps://linktr.ee/thesoupdragonshttps://www.merchbar.com/rock-alternative/cj-wildhearthttps://www.facebook.com/CJWildheartOfficial/https://www.instagram.com/cjwildheart/EMF www.emf-theband.comhttps://www.facebook.com/lustforlife1976/...

Dale Crover shares his Splash Story with myself and Diamond Dave and he's one hell of a laid back good humoured guy. He tells us he's fabulous ! He had a rough time of it sometime back having to undergo an emergency spinal surgery operation so that's good to hear. Not for the faint hearted but he's a Melvin right!  On tour with Ministry after the Pandemic led to two drummers on The Tarantula Heart album with influences by PIL's Flowers of Romance and a new way of working and putting the tracks together and having "really long songs on it." There's reminiscenses on Kiss Gene Simmons, Atlantic Records and a whole bunch of insights.Crover mentioned he felt fortunate to work with King Buzzo whom he describes as "a great, idiosyncratic songwriter and a superb live performer". He added that working with Kurt Cobain, Mike Patton and Buzz had been great -  all three knew what they wanted " I just sit at the back, add a bit of direction and help steer the ship." We trust you'll enjoy the ride too....Melvins Tarantula Heart album https://melvinsofficial.bandcamp.com/album/tarantula-hearthttps://themelvins.net/Insta : https://www.instagram.com/melvinsdotcom/?hl=enFB https://www.facebook.com/melvinsarmy/IPECAC Records https://ipecac.com/releases/Dale Crover summer 2024 USA tour dates : https://music.mxdwn.com/2024/04/22/news/melvins-dale-crover-announces-summer-2024-u-s-tour-dates/https://www.themelvins.net/forum/index.php?topic=23791.0Support the Show.Get in touch with Splash Stories : splashclubtv@gmail.comhttps://www.facebook.com/thesplashclubJoin Splash Stories https://www.buzzsprout.com/1891668/supporthttps://www.instagram.com/thewonderstuffofficial/https://www.instagram.com/rickywarwickofficial/https://www.instagram.com/echobelly_official/https://www.instagram.com/officialskunkanansie/https://www.instagram.com/feederofficial/https://www.instagram.com/kcmanc/?hl=enhttps://www.facebook.com/kerbdogband/https://www.instagram.com/sohoradiohttps://www.facebook.com/groups/SoundAsEverhttps://www.pearllowe.co.ukhttps://www.supergrass.comhttps://www.wienerworld.com/product/gary-crowleys-indie-90s-playback-classics-curveballs-and-bangers/Terrorvision Tequila : https://youtu.be/8hLQCA2h8kA?si=7_HfuruL5fFUnMdFhttps://linktr.ee/thesoupdragonshttps://www.merchbar.com/rock-alternative/cj-wildhearthttps://www.facebook.com/CJWildheartOfficial/https://www.instagram.com/cjwildheart/EMF www.emf-theband.comhttps://www.facebook.com/lustforlife1976/...

James Atkin shares his Splash Story ...EMF are number 1 with Hello People featuring Stephen Fry  Hello People with its' indie groove is a call to stand with tolerance against the hate-myths of immigration whilst putting a smile on people's faces.Why Stephen Fry? Unbelievable was on his ‘100years of the BBC' happy mix (along with Dancing Queen and Mrs Robinson) but he was a fan way back before it was a global smash. We met him at an EMF gig at the Astoria in 1992 and he kindly agreed to appear on an EMF song in 1995, reading a dystopian poem about self-destruction on ‘Glass Smash Jack' from our Cha Cha Cha album. The message of our new song ‘Hello People' is about tolerance, who better then to verify the facts and emotions about immigration in the face of a flood of hate speech than the most intellectually rigorous and entertaining brain in the world and our very own National Treasure the great Stephen Fry.” - EMF.Watch the Hello People (featuring Stephen Fry) video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVlMG585qNcThe Hello People video features  is a celebration: It features the faces of EMF's fans. EMF asked the fans to send in selfies of themselves and their families and cut them into a reel which they project onto the band's performance of the song. "It's great to see how people come in all shapes, sizes, colours and cultures, it feels great to welcome them all into the video as EMF welcome people of all shapes, sizes, colours and cultures into our country.” EMF  hit the road starting in January 2024 ...Unbelievable? ...

Splash Stories caught up with alternative rockers Kingmaker recently.  For a time in the early 90's Hull alternative rockers Kingmaker were the darlings of NME and had Suede tour with them just before their The Drowners release as did Radiohead - Pre Pablo Honey.  Myles Howell: “Kingmaker were influenced by the likes of the Pixies and the Wonder Stuff. We came at that crossover between the underground 80s guitar music and Brit Pop. Their Debut album Eat Yourself Whole in 1991 received critical acclaim and reached No 29 in the charts while the second album Sleepwalking hit No 15. The Killjoy EP also reached No 15 and their best known single 10 Years Asleep also climbed to No 15.

Join Ben Steadman and Diamond Dave on Splash Stories  for a cracking chat with Charlie Beddoes  - Bad Ass bassist turned author of  Overdriven and a regular Splash Club performer visitor and comrade.'A funny, sad and highly compelling page turner, written in the authentic rock and roll voice of the woman who lived it. I loved this book. Can't wait for the movie version!' Tinkyra'This is the rock autobiography the world needs: not your cliche rags-to-riches tale of how a household name struggled and then made it, but a pithy recounting of an endless slog punctuated by dalliances with major labels and that ellusive breakthrough. Throughout, Beddoes is equally ojective and disarmingly honest, and her narrative is balanced and so magnificently readable. 'Overdriven' provides the insights other autobiographes don't go anywhere near, and it's a cracking read.'           Ed Robinson ‘Charlie Beddoes is a supremely talented bass player who laid down grooves for a range of bands and artists in the 90s and 2000s. Her story is funny, moving, and - most of all - true. This memoir will not only delight musicians and fans, it is a truly literary work with a rhythm and poetry of its own that will appeal to a much wider readership.'

The headliners are none other than goth punk legends LORDS OF THE NEW CHURCH. Joining the band of The Damned's Brian James, Sham 69s Dave Treganna and Clash drummer Terry Chimes, will be the one and only Michael Monroe of Hanoi Rocks on vocals. Michael was a great friend of Stiv Bators and the perfect fit to take his place for this one-off performance.“The Shepherds Bush Empire was an old variety gig which is what I think the Vive Le Rock show on April 6th is gonna be” states Brain James. “A bunch of different acts doing sensational sets, its got all the makings of being a fun, memorable night and a good excuse to play some old Lords songs dedicated to the one and only Stiv Bators.”NEVILLE STAPLE, from The Specials will lift the roof off with a live set of rudeboy classics with his extraordinary band, and East End street punk/West Ham United legends the COCKNEY REJECTS will rock their classics in a fast & furious awards set.The all-star house band, THE VIVE LE ROCKERS featuring Paul-Ronney Angel and members of Ruts DC, Jim Jones All Stars and Urban Voodoo Machine will back artists including MILLIE MANDERS, BAD BARBEE – Elizabeth Westwood (WESTWORLD) and Jennie Belle Star (THE BELLE STARS), JIM JONES and GIRLSCHOOLs Kim and Jackie.

Hopefully the night will descend into beautiful chaos, gongs will be given, songs will be sung and planks will be spanked and a great time will be had by all!”VIP packages are available that include a limited awards T-Shirt, VIP access, after show party ticket and Vive Le Rock annual.
