Twisted Nerve
Twisted Nerve was founded in late 1997 by Grand Central DJ and designer
Andrew Shallcross (aka Andy Votel) and singer-songwriter Damon Gough (aka
Badly Drawn Boy). The label was originally inspired by a wide range of
alternative influences such as one off soul records, french EPs, a cottage
industry, a rebellion to dance music, making something out of nothing, hip
hop, b-grade US psych bands, breaking down musical boundries, jukebox
records, pushing your luck, music and design in unison, Woody Allen and
manufacturing singles in Nashville, Tennessee. Andy and Damon didn\'t want
to set up a business. They wanted to make five hundred 7\" records with cheap
two colour sleeves and sell them to their friends before the end of the
year. They sold the records in less than a month and soon after got
embraced, mithered and intimidated by the music industry. They then got
another record made and proceeded to put out records by our like-minded
friends and then they became a record company, made films, designed graphics
and organised events.
Misty Dixon
Based around the songwriting talents of Jane Weaver, Misty Dixon stemmed
from Jane\'s desire to form an all girl group and do something outside of her
solo work. Initially Misty Dixon was supposed to be just a studio-based
project - darker than Jane\'s solo work and more influenced by her sad heavy
metal past. Jane persuaded Anna Greenwood to sing with her after they were
thrown out of and barred from Matt & Phred\'s Jazz Club in Manchester for
singing All Saints songs whilst a jazz band played. The owner told them they
sounded like whores.
The first track Jane wrote for Misty Dixon was \'I, So Many Times\' which
appeared on the Milk Money EP released in Spring 2001. She wrote it on an
old Farfisa organ she discovered in a second hand shop under a load of junk
- she claims she knew it was there because she had a funny feeling, similar
to when Lovejoy finds a rare antique.
Aidan Smith
One fine day late last summer at TN Towers, TN were listening to the usual
round of demos when we stumbled across a gem. Several attempts to contact
the sender drew a blank until a month later emails were returned and Mr.
Smith walked into our lives. He handed TN a CD with 20 songs on it and told
them he had \"a few more songs\" which he would bring in the next week. Since
that time he gave TN around 70 songs of home recordings, 14 of which will be
released over two 7 track mini-albums, the first of which you should be
holding in your grubby little paws sometime in April.
Just 23 years of age and hailing from Eccles, Aidan Smith has managed to
soak up most of the best music of the 20th century and make something new
that is completely his own. Since his first release, the song \'Bongos & Go\'
on the Jukebox 45 Singles Club in October he has been snapped up for his
debut TV appearance, been tapped by prospective collaborators (we can\'t name
names), and is currently holed up in deepest Lancashire recording his debut
album.
The Jukes
Twisted Nerve\'s newest signing as recently heard on the Jukebox 45 Singles
Club. Hailing from the creative hot bed of Bristol. The wonderful debut
album will be out in October on TN.
Andy Votel
You\'ve heard all the other stuff before. He has over 100 pairs of trainers,
used to mess around in vague Northern hip hop crews, loves hats and Polish
Jazz, lives in Marple and has more records that Ikea can provide him with
shelf space for. The 2000 compilation Finders Keepers is a microcosmic
sample of his ever-expanding musical worldview. But it\'s really time for
this smokescreen of trivia to be dispersed. Instead, focuspoint on two
things that say more about Andy than his caps. In 2002 Andy completed his
first LP proper in \"All Ten Fingers\". Moving on from the promising but
still speculative debut mini LP, Styles Of The Unexpected (released in late
2000) this is imbued with a confidence and an organic willfulness which is
strides ahead of those still smoking too much draw and sellotaping beats
together in front of computer screens. It\'s gritty and real and funny and
human and broken and twisted and completely addictive.
