Popes 4 Cops 1 single
Sunday, 22 November 2009

“Popes 4 Cops 1” is a double A side single due in March. The A side is a shorter mix of “Here Come The Popes Part 4” and the AA side is “Here Come The Cops”, a remix of the track by Oculus III (Joe’s remix alias). The remix is a response to the recent news story of Vatican priest Cesare Burgazzi who led police on a high-speed car chase through Rome after being stopped in a red-light district.


It’s remixed in the style of a 70s TV cop show. The A side will be the last single from “High Slang”.
The band are rehearsing new songs and are planning 2 albums, one being the first part of the history of the Catholic Church and the other being Pope-free.


NORTHERN GIGS IN JANUARY
The band visit Sheffield and Derby in mid-January.

What's happening with Sergeant Buzfuz?
Friday, 17 April 2009

I’m playing a solo gig at The Fenton in Leeds this Saturday 18th, onstage 10.10 pm and it sounds like a really good night.


Next Friday 24th the band are playing at the Offline night at Brixton’s Prince Albert. With Rich having left the drumstool our mate Ian Button, who played on half the new album, will be thwacking the skins for us.


This week I remixed a Lucy’s Diary track which should be a forthcoming LD B side. Lucy’s Diary are my Blang label colleague JJ Crash and Lucy Joplin. They’re kinda garage indie. Ian Button recorded their album, which should be out on Blang this year.


Next Thursday night (23rd) at 8 30 or so I’m doing a live radio interview with the best-named radio station in the world, yes Radio Scilly. You can tune in online at Radio Scilly.


We now have all our albums streamed for you to listen to at Last.FM. We’ll get the singles up there soon and more videos.
Our Last FM page here.


And if you really want more regular news like what I’ve had for breakfast and how our cat is then you can ‘follow’ me on Twitter.

Keep well y’all

Sunday, 15 February 2009

The 4th Sergeant Buzfuz album is now in the shops. It’s called “High Slang” (BLANG 15). Available as CD and download. See online reviews here.


“Universally charming” (NME)


“ Dazzling...Referencing 1960s punk, psychedelia, German-rock, Irish folk, glam-rock and drone, Sergeant Buzfuz achieve a harmonious, chiming mash-up, sounding like none of the above. ‘High Slang’ should be the record which catapults the band out of the underground” (Aesthetica)


“Ceaselessly inventive...14 candidates for John Peel’s Festive Fifty (RIP)” (TimeOut)


“Buzfuz are a bloody riot” (Plan B)


“songs full of spirit, an album full of them” (Organ: Album Of The Week)


“Blending an awe inspiring instrumental with poetic and story-telling lyrics on each and every song its difficult to be even remotely bored by this band.” (Music-Zine)


“Sergeant Buzfuz definitely do whatever they like and they definitely have something to say. Endearing and compelling,” (Supersweet)


“Razor-sharp lyrical wit” (Alternative Ulster)


“The problem with dumbing down radio is that it means most people never to get hear bands like Sergeant Buzfuz.” (Fatea Magazine)

JOE’S BROTHER’S BOOK.
My brother Brendan has written a book to tie in with the 150th anniversary of Sheffield FC, the world’s oldest football club who formed in 1857. It was published in October by Sports Books. It’s a fascinating and irreverent look at how football evolved in Victorian times in England’s public schools and Sheffield’s factories. It’s a perfect Xmas present for that football loving relative (and indeed anyone interested in rugby, cricket and Aussie rules too). Every page packed with a potential quiz question. Some of it’s amazing. (Eg, the factory where our Dad worked (and me and Brendan too in summer holidays) had a team which reached the quarter finals of the FA Cup, going out to West Brom). You can get it from Amazon, The Book Depository.com, etc.
“From Sheffield With Love” by Brendan Murphy
Published by Sports Books paperback, RRP £8.99
There’s a Yorkshire Post feature/interview with Brendan here.

GIG CRAPNESS
Something In The Water (me, Polly and Tom Alder’s other band) played a crap gig at The George Tavern this week. No soundcheck, soundman not there ‘till 9, one feeble monitor which we couldn’t hear the vocals in. So we couldn’t hear ourselves singing and apparently neither could anyone else. In hindsight we should’ve just walked off after the first song but we gamely struggled on with the engineer’s tweakings making no difference.
Then tonight I’ve cancelled my solo gig for Filthy Pedro’s night in Archway. I’ve got a sore throat. Which I’m trying to protect for recording vocals on Monday.

GIG AUSPICIOUSNESS
Still, the next Blang on Wednesday Dec 12th should be a cracker with Being 747 and their From Amoeba To Zebra show and the return of Ashley Reaks, the last time he played I laughed continuously for 30 minutes. See Blang site.

RECORDINGS
We’re still slowly recording a new LP on weekends/days off. I’m in on Monday to record vocals and hopefully my voice’ll be better. I’ve had a cold at some point at least during the recording of every single Buzfuz album to date. We’re still planning to release Popes Part 3 as a single and we’re talking to Sam Alder (Tom’s brother) about making a video for it. More news next year.


Keep well
Joe

 
October Newsroom
Tuesday, 02 October 2007

Goodbye and thank you to Cormac O’Hara who has updated these pages since we started the Buzsite. He’s finally had enough and is a busy chicken so from now on the band are going to be updating the pages. Thanks for all your help Cormac.


‘What’s new?’ I fondly imagine thousands of you screaming. We’ve been in the studio. We’ve done 8 songs in 4 days at One Cat, home to our ex-cellist/bassist Jon. The music’s more or less done. I’ve got to go in and sing next, which I’m supposed to be starting on Saturday. Except I’ve caught a bloody cold so we’ll see. We’ll be recording more songs over the next few months. There should be a new LP next year and a single, probably ‘Here Come The Popes (Part 3)’. Maybe on purple papal vinyl…

Oh, and we’re playing at Blang next week which is going to be a great night. Subterraneans headline and there’s Kinkajou and Nadege, all great stuff.
Stay de-tuned

RATIONAL FOR THE HARDCORE
Buzfuz were mentioned passingly in last week’s TimeOut in a preview of the Homefires festival, debating the merits of its becoming less strictly "folk" based: "...this year's Homefires is a more musically varied affair than any of its predecessors [...]If for you this is like Dylan going electric (or Sergeant Buzfuz going rational, for the real hardcore), you should check out Sunday's Upset The Rhythm hop." No, us neither… but nice for the band to get a mention.

ANTIFOLK COMPILATION
There’ll be a Sergeant Buzfuz track on an upcoming antifolk compilation CD compiled by JJ Crash and released on the AFUK label. The Buzfuz track is ‘Too Stupid’ which is an out-take from the Fire Horse CD. More news soon, word is on a summer release.

GUDBYE T' JON
Jon Clayton will leave his role as Buzfuz bass/cello player after the gig at The Archway Tavern next Saturday. Jon joined Charlotte Hatherley’s band as bassist last year and with 2007 set to be a busy year for Charlotte and her band Jon has decided to quit. Jon also plays with Stuffy/The Fuses and in a project with his girlfriend Jen.
The band wish him the best of luck for the future. Jon will probably continue to act as engineer/producer for Buzfuz recordings.
