Misty Roses will be featured tonight Wed., June 1 on the mighty Jonny Mugwump’s mighty EXOTIC PYLON program!
Dig Jonny’s kind words in re: the group:
“This Wednesday on FNOOB Underground we have a guest mix from my favourite pop band of the last few years - the divine Misty Roses.
Jonny Perl and Robert Conroy are a transatlantic duo living out a cinematic fantasy of dark romance and sci-fi melodrama and as Misty Roses they utilise guitar, electronics and vocals to shoot 60’s easy-listening glamour and European grandeur into the 31st Century. Jonny and Robert’s romantic guest mix takes us on a breathless tour of the their obsessions - arch melodrama, gothic collapse, cinematic whirlpools, post-punk dementia and radiophonic pop.”
(The program goes live @ 10 p.m. (GMT) and will be available for download from Thursday night at http://exoticpylon.com/)
The Vortex, London

Misty Roses
If H. P. Lovecraft lived on Montague Terrace (in Blue)… Jonny Perl and Robert Conroy are a transatlantic duo living out a cinematic fantasy of dark romance and sci-fi melodrama and as Misty Roses they utilise guitar, electronics and vocals to shoot 60’s easy-listening glamour and European grandeur in to the 31st Century, and tonight is a celebration of their debut release for Exotic Pylon Recordings (http://exoticpylon.com/pages/label.html). You can check out a session the band did for Mining For Gold here (http://exoticpylon.com/pages/2009/10-30-09.html) and check their website here: http://mistyroses.com/

Finn, Cris Lapthorne, Chris Brierley will be bringing piano, voice, electronics, violin and projections to present the debut performance of Beuys will be Beuys an incantatory tale of the eponymous Joseph running wild in the East End.

Anne Pigalle
Where do you start? From the lush pop orchestrations of her dalliance with ZTT in the 80’s through collaboration with Donald Cammell via Paris, London, New York and Japan with Gualtier, Lagerfeld and Michael Nyman. Born out of punk culture Anne Pigalle is a true and utterly incomparable STAR – poet, writer, photographer, singer, performer and painter. Her current work is based around her new album L’Ame Erotique and is a highly surreal and erotically charged cabaret that is equal parts Piaf, Cohen and Bataille. Go here for all things Pigalle: http://www.annepigalle.com/
Father Murphy
Doomed tragi-comic operatic free-blues – a monastic howl of funereal giallo rock… Father Murphy are sparse and incendiary and one of the finest bands in the world right now. Fresh from (highly appropriately) supporting Swans in Russia they’re going to bring the house down in Grand Guignol style. Catch them on the pylon here: http://exoticpylon.com/pages/08-22-09.html and here: http://exoticpylon.com/pages/2009/12-13-09.html . Website here: http://www.myspace.com/reverendmurphy

London, United Kingdom
Our chanteuse, Robert, feels that P.J. Harvey’s “Let England Shake” is the best LP of the year thus far.
Feel free to disagree….
