'The absolute high point = Cauda Pavonis' |
Lots going on in the background at the moment so just to keep you all
in the frame, here's the latest review of one of our compilation
appearances. Just had this through at Pavonis Central and thought we'd
share.

review Till Dawn Do Us Part 08
http://c3.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/15/l_939e78aa42bd4765bddd1b9a4dc366e6.jpg
and a translation in English:
Compilation: Till Dawn Do us part 08On November 28th this newest
release by Dead By Dawn was presented. This time it is a compilation
that still presents Belgian groups, but also looks into foreign talent.
It is a good thing that lots of Belgian prominent organisations still
care for this kind of initiatives, wich shows in the (financial)
support this project received by many of the Belgian organisations,
including Dark Entries. However, we at Dark Entries do not let our
judgement be influenced by this.
Let us start with the absolute
high point, and that's not only the price ( only € 8) but also the
irresistable 'Juggernaut' by the English goth-rockers Cauda Pavonis.
This band is a must to get to know. The wave-pop of the Dutch Bernard
Fate is also very nice and Star Industry with the classic 'nineties' is
a school example of Belgian goth-rock. Rising star Psy'Aviah is on this
compilation again, be it with one of their lesser tracks 'Mine (CRB
remix)'. What concerns the more known bands, there is Heyaeb, alive and
kicking again (after a four year break) and for those that follow the
Belgian scene names like Gestalt, Hedera Helix or Swan Death should not
be unheard of. Their submissions may not be the newest tracks they
released, but prove there is hope for this kind of music in our
country. Besides, 'Amoroso' by Gestalt remains to be a very nice
track.Names like Chrysalide (France), Hynnner vs hant1s3 (France), The
Goth Factory (Netherlands), Fenix (Chile !), Orlock (Belgium), 26 Tears
(Belgium) and XMH (Netherlands) are still a bit obscure and unknown
here, in my opinion some keep it so on purpose. Others, stubborn and
with a distinctive style like Ayin Aleph (the new Queen?) or the slick
yet fascinating dark pop by Hynner vs Hant1s3 and Fenix (wich, by the
hybrid style and sound, is a band that could or should be on the Alfa
Matrix label).
In other words: there is something for everyone
on this Till Dawn Do Us Part. With this in mind, and all good
intentions and the very attractive pricing (recommended selling price:
only € 8) this is a product no one should be ashamed of (and believe
us, here at Dark Entries we sometimes receive albums that are). Order
this compilation via Myspace, or on Bimfest (20 December) where Dark
Entries will have some copies to sell. Support your scene: join us at
Bimfest and make sure you buy this compilation !
=====================================
Copies of the compilation will be available from Cauda Pavonis in their soon to be launched online shop.

10 Years - New Album, New Bass Player |
2008 sees the band celebrating 10 years and what a set of years they've
been. 10 years of playing venues as far apart as Newcastle and Leipzig,
3 self released sold out albums, 2 EP's, appearances on 20
compilations, headlining over and supporting some of the scene's finest
bands at some of the UK's top shows and venues, TV appearances and
appearing at some of Europe's top festivals.
The
long awaited 4th album, recorded by Su Wainwright (formerly Farr), Dave
Wainwright, Chris Hines and new bass player Rob Quick, is set to take
the band to new heights. Its release has been timed to coincide with
the bands return to Whitby Gothic Weekend in April 2008 and will
feature new tracks recorded and mastered at Attic Attack Studios in
Bristol. As a celebration of the band's 10th anniversary it will
include bonus material in the form of several specially re-recorded
tracks from the band's back catalogue.
The Whitby Gothic Weekend
appearance will be part of the 10 Years Tour that includes some of top
UK alternative venues and 2 major festival appearances at WGW and
Wave-Gotik-Treffen.
The music of Cauda Pavonis has evolved from
the minimalist releases of the late 90's/early 00's and has now become
one of the most unique sounds on the Goth scene to date. This is not
'Goth 101' and definitely not the 'Goth by numbers' which litters the
scene on an all too regular basis. This is as fresh, new, rebellious
and challenging as the original Gothic Punk pioneers.

Cauda Pavonis - Bedford Gig |
There's been an unfortunate development today that means we'll be
unable to play the gig at Black Planet in Bedford. We are devistated as
we've been rehearsing at every opportunity to get new material and the
new line-up up to speed and were hoping to debut both line-up and
material at the gig.
We
really are disappointed as we were looking forward to playing with Rome
Burns again after all these years. Go and support the night, Rome Burns
are an excellent band and the support sounds fantastic. Black Planet
deserve your support as the club is excellent and has been going from
strength to strength - Go along, dance and have a good time.
