Nightingales - Insult To Injury [2009]

MySpace

The Nightingales reformed infrequently before starting again in earnest in Spring 2004, with Lloyd being joined by original Prefect Alan Apperley and, after trying out various other members (including percussionist Aaron Moore of avant garde combo Volcano The Bear and teen guitar sensation Matt Wood), the group’s current line up features Lloyd, Apperley, ex Pram drummer Daren Garratt, guitarist Christine Edwards (from Christy & Emily) and Andreas Schmid (from Faust Studio) on bass.

Continuing to play intelligent, unclassifiable rock music around Lloyd's unique lyrics the group have been more productive than ever - releasing five 7' vinyl singles and three albums, touring their oddly dynamic live show in the UK, mainland Europe and USA several times and recording numerous radio sessions in England and America. Their U.S shows have included the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas, and performances in Chicago and New York which were 'Pick Of The Week' in the Chicago Reader and Village Voice respectively.

In March 08 the group recorded a new album 'Insult To Injury' with Jochen Irmler of legendary German art rock innovators Faust. This record, the ’Gales best yet, was released in January 2009 and is their fourth album in the last two years. Following the album's they now will be touring Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
