  • Storyfold: Trick of Light

    StoryfoldIt’s been over a year since we first heard Storyfold‘s ventures into the music world with Delphine Wakes and Behind Closed Doors. Since then, the band have built themselves up to be competent live performers. They’ve also been off recording their debut album ‘Rocket Science’ with Greg Haver (Manics, Lost Prophets).

    The album will be released on May 20th but before that Storyfold have decided to release the single ‘Trick of Light’.  It’s a great chance to get reacquainted with the band before the album.

    The track is officially being released on April 29th but you can get the track for absolutely zilch, nada and for nothing if you sign up to the band’s newsletter.

    Talking to others in the queue becomes quite an eye opener as to how popular Brooke Fraser actually is. Two Canadian girls tell me they have flown from Toronto and yes, they have seen Ms Fraser before. Wow! This should be good so.

    Warming up the stage for Fraser is Liz Lawrence, who along with Harry on cajon, really get the crowd going. We all have preconceived notions about singer songwriters and about female ones. They’re all going to sound like Mid American whingers. Not the case with Lawrence she combines genres to create her own sound and has an energy which forces her to dance with her guitar while she sings. (more…)
