The Masonics

Nothing' Shakin' But... EP

Spinout Nuggets

    The Masonics are the Kings Of Medway Beat, known for being 'the best Rhythm and Beat combo since The Milkshakes', and there's a very good reason for that. With Mickey Hampshire (The Milkshakes, Mickey And The Salty Seadogs, Mickey And Ludella, Mick Hampshire), Bruce Brand (The Pop Rivets, The Milkshakes, Auntie Vegetable, Thee Headcoats, The Kravin' "A"s, The Clique, Dutronc, The Voo-Dooms and more) and John Gibbs (The Wildebeests, The Kaisers), this Medway-based trio fire rhythm 'n' beat and rock 'n' roll!

    Since 1991, The Masonics have been raising roofs all across the land, and disturbing audio grooves on at least ten studio albums and eleven singles. There's no stopping them!

    During 2022, the group joined The 5.6.7.8's on their five-night UK tour, and then again in October 2023 on a ten-night tour of Japan. Throughout all that, Spinout Nuggets have released three 7" EPs, a first-time-on-vinyl edition of their 'Outside Looking In' album (originally released on CD in 2004), a new studio album (Sursum Tibiam Vestram), and a joint 7" EP with The 5.6.7.8's.

    The Masonics triumphantly return to the 7" format with two new extended players, released simultaneously. Following on from the success of the previous two Rock'n'Roll EPs, The Masonics unleash a further two extended players of dancehall fillers.

      Cover of Only Messin' EP by The James Taylor Quartet.

      The James Taylor Quartet

      Only Messin' EP

      Spinout Nuggets

        James Taylor has been writing/recording albums and touring for the past 43 years, starting with The Prisoners and then The James Taylor Quartet (JTQ) from 1986 onwards, to great acclaim. Taylor was the pioneering force that spear-headed the Acid Jazz movement in the 90's, which saw a renaissance in live music. He has also virtually single-handedly driven the rediscovery of the Hammond organ, his trademark keyboard. He has developed his composition and arrangement skills and with these has recorded over 20 library albums.

        The most recent of the library albums include the four tracks on this very EP, which feature Taylor's innovative horn arrangement skills, placing JB style horns over a funk groove, but in this case he had the novel idea of incorporating two guitars; one funky, one rocky. Sort of James Brown meets The Rolling Stones, and the result can be heard on this slab of vinyl.

        The current live line-up for The James Taylor Quartet is James Taylor (keyboards and orchestration), Mark Cox (guitar), Andrew McKinney (bass) and Pat Illingworth (drums).

        Cover of Bowerbirds And Blue Things by Jetstream Pony.

        Jetstream Pony

        Bowerbirds And Blue Things

        Spinout Nuggets

          Jetstream Pony combine post-punk, indie-pop and power-pop, featuring Beth Arzy (The Luxembourg Signal/Trembling Blue Stars/Aberdeen) on vocals and percussion, Shaun Charman (The Wedding Present/The Popguns/The Fireworks) on guitar and vocals, Kerry Boettcher (Turbocat) on bass, Tom Levesley on drums, and recently joined by Mark Matthews (The Dentists/The Treasures Of Mexico) on guitar.

          Returning with a new full length 'Bowerbirds and Blue Things', the band's evolution continues, and there are branches into new territory. 'The Relativity of Wrong' is driven by heavy bass, a tale of youthful misbehaviour, with guest vocals from Eleni Poulou, formerly of The Fall. 'Tendrils' has a darker presence, sung by Kerry, echoing and ghostly. 'Bonanza 2 Tango Sierra' and 'Look Alive!' both have a driving feel, and the power-pop is still intact with songs like 'Bubblegum Nothingness'. 'Bowerbirds And Blue Things' is a varied album that keeps the underlying Jetstream Pony sound, but with real development.

          Cover of The Goddess Tree by The Guy Hamper Trio Feat. James Taylor.

          The Guy Hamper Trio Feat. James Taylor

          The Goddess Tree

          Spinout Nuggets

            The Guy Hamper Trio was formed by Billy Childish, after a chat with his friend James Taylor (Hammond organ). Billy and James had played respectively in The Milkshakes and The Prisoners, often sharing the same bill in the early 80's, leading to Billy's blues ensemble The Natural Born Lovers being the support act for the early shows of The James Taylor Quartet.

            The Guy Hamper Trio is: Billy Childish on guitar, his wife Julie on bass and Wolf on drums - who as it happens was the drummer in the original incarnation of JTQ - and of course features James Taylor on Hammond organ.

            The Guy Hamper Trio provide a bottom end, Blues-influenced instrumental mayhem for those unafraid of dirt, germs and true grime. With no particular wish other than to be recognised as the best at playing badly, they refuse to obey the usual rules of combat and music.

            This long playing record proves that The Guy Hamper Trio and James Taylor are a perfect team. The fourth in this ‘series’ of finely crafted compositions, listen out for several tracks also featuring Bash Brand and Tub Johnson as stand in rhythm section (in effect Thee Headcoats). Let’s hope there’s plenty more from the leaders in jazz/pop mayhem!

                      The group were founded in Sheen in 2004 by best friends, Rob Symmons, formerly guitarist of original UK punk band, Subway Sect, and Rob Green (who appeared with a later version of Subway Sect) and they remain the core songwriting team and driving force behind The Fallen Leaves sound and vision. The Fallen Leaves operate within a strict set of self-imposed rules, including no jeans, no t-shirts, no cover versions - punk rock for gentlemen. They believe in the DIY Punk ethos - Song, Sound and Performance are all, simple songs for complex people, though they ask you to remember that simple and easy are not the same thing, The Fallen Leaves are a Group, not a band and The Fallen Leaves play 'shows', never gigs!

                            The William Loveday Intention is the latest incarnation of song and dance man Wild Billy Childish, who has been recording and performing since the 1977 Punk explosion; notably with The Pop Rivets, The Milkshakes, Thee Mighty Caesars, Thee Headcoats, The Buff Medways and CTMF, and many more!

                            The 'intention' of The William Loveday group was to revisit some early tunes which Billy had imagined could be orchestrated.

                            Spinout Nuggets

                              Chris (Brod) Broderick & Chris (Arf) Allen started The Singing Loins as a stripped-down acoustic duo in 1990, with the aim of writing honest, bare songs, outside of any particular style, coining the phrase 'Authentic Raw Folk from the Medway Delta'. Their first two albums were recorded with Billy Childish and released on Hangman Records.

                              Spinout Nuggets

                                Thee Headcoats are arguably the most famous and influential of the many group incarnations that Billy Childish has formed or performed in since 1977. Cited in the New York Times - back in the day - as 'the undisputed kings of garage rock', Thee Headcoats rule (1989 - 2000) saw them as Childish's most prolific group - up until that time - releasing upwards of eighteen albums and over 45 singles. Thee Headcoats performed their last gig in 2000.

                                With a 'break' of twenty-two years, Thee Headcoats got together over a weekend earlier this year and recorded a brand new LP, a 45 and an EP. These being released through Damaged Goods Records.

                                Here, Spinout Nuggets comes into the picture. Having the ear of mister Childish, our executives convinced the Dearstalking Man to allow us access to the original tapes and can now proudly present a 45 from that same great session, allowing the listener an earhole of a 'Bona' alternative version of 'Leader Of The Sect', - complete with 'Round The Horns Sandy and Julian' on the intro (also listen out for Thee Headcoatees on backing vocals).

                                This is coupled with an unreleased rendition of 'Paralysed By The Mountains'. Our advice: don't hang about if you want this classic piece of wax spinning on your turntable, as Thee Headcoats' 45s don't go stale on the shelf. The Kids might be all Square, but this is HIP!

                                            Wipeout was formed in 1976. Their legendary live performance at Chatham's Pentagon Shopping Centre in 1978 served as inspiration for many of the Medway-based bands that followed them - the gig being so well attended that many of the traders had to shut up shop early.

                                            In 2021, members of Wipeout decided to get together to record a couple of new songs.The result has been recorded and laid onto two continuous grooves; with 'Miss Understood' being a bouncy stomper that will excite any dancefloor, and 'Rope Around My Neck' finishing the night off for the slow dance.

                                              The Pastel Waves are a Medway-based indie band who fuse their collective influences of New Wave, Indie and Brit Pop.

                                              Their debut album 'All Things To All People' was released in March 2019 on Trouserphonic Records, with a follow-up digital single 'Ten', and the CD EP 'I Hate Myself For Wanting It' in May 2020.

                                              In April 2021, the band released 'The Influencers EP' on vinyl via Spinout Nuggets, with four strong tracks, each receiving enough attention to force them to continue recording. Since release from lockdown, the band have a healthy live gig portfolio, and continue to write and record, and 'Back In The Land Of The Living' is a ten solid song long player which proves that the band aren't a one-trick pony.

                                                    Wild Billy Childish has been recording and performing since the 1977 punk explosion. The Pop Rivets, Thee Milkshakes, The Headcoats and The Buff Medways are just a few musical outfits that Billy has been involved with. Billy is also an internationally exhibited artist and poet. The William Loveday Intention is the latest incarnation. The groups name can be attributed to Billy's grandmother, Ivy Loveday, who registered his birth as William Ivy Loveday, with William being his great grandfather's name. The 'intention' of The William Loveday group was to revisit some early tunes which Billy had imagined could be orchestrated. This was the beginning of a 'career in a year' with over 14 LPs being recorded during the lockdown period at Jim Riley's Ranscombe Studios.


                                                    Side A's 'Sex And Flys' is a complete make-over of the original Rhythm 'n' Punk track previously recorded by Thee Headcoats (which can be found on the 1996 long player 'In Tweed We Trust'). Side B's 'Becoming Unbecoming Me (Slight Return)' recounts the true-life story of a Jewish girls change of identity in war-time Venice to escape the death camps.

                                                      'The Jutland Sea' is a tribute to all that fought in the Battle Of Jutland in 1916 - the largest naval battle of the The Great War. Billy's Grandfather was aboard HMS Thunderer. 'Scapa Flow' (not to be confused with the track of the same name by The Milkshakes) is an instrumental in honour of the home base of The Grand Fleet.

                                                        The Mindreaders are Richard Ipaint on vocals and drums, Sexton Ming on vocals, sfx and guitar, and Russ Wilkins on vocals and guitar, with all three on songwriting duty. Formed in the wake of the Len Bright Combo, fans of The Pop Rivets, The Milkshakes, The Natural Born Lovers, Rocking Richard, The Delmonas, Auntie Vegetable, The Wildebeests and more will know all about them.

                                                        Once Wreckless Eric decided to stop the Combo, both Russ and Richard wanted to continue with the sound they were enjoying, by recruiting a rhythm guitarist, and with a hundred guitarists to choose from in Medway, they turned to Sexton Ming. Russ had previously worked with him on other projects, and always admired his offerings. Their first LP, Ban The Mindreader, was released in 1987 on Russ' Empire Records label.

                                                        Fast forward 30 years. Russ and Richard realised they only lived 25 miles apart in Scotland, and now, older and wiser, a connection was made with Sexton (now also much wiser) who wanted to do something dim and simple. A gig was arranged in Hastings which led on to more gigs, including 100 Club, Moth Club, Franklin Fest and more!

                                                        They reconvened in a garage and recorded some songs over two days onto a Tascam 8 track, 1/2" recorder, playing whatever they felt worked, recording over twenty tracks. And here we have eleven of those recordings, provided to you in the way that The Mindreaders wanted. It's what all bands should do! Expect sonic Rhythm&Beat/GarageTrash/ Medway.........
