840.0. "Heaven Or Las Patna" by SCOAYR::SROBERTSON () Sun May 12 1991 23:14

    Just heard a band on the Anne Nightingale show,great stuff she
    plays,called Chapterhouse - I'm sure that's what she said.
    
    The guitars ect sounded very like the Cocteau Twins who I think are
    excellent so it's obvious I like this band.
    
    Anyway does anyone know anything about them and recommend any of thier
    materiel.This is the first time I have even heard of them so any info
    would be appreciated.

    Great band, Chapterhouse are from Reading, they are on Fire records (I
    think), and have had 3 EPs out and have just released an album called
    Whirlpool which is excellent.  Go out and buy it today, and the 3 EPs
    whilst you're at it.

     Completely agree with Tim (well, not completely, they are on Dedicated
     records, but who cares). For completeness, the - excellent - EPs are
     entitled 'Freefall', 'Sunburst' and 'Pearl'. Mind you, even Piers quite
     likes them.

    Yes I wasn't completely sure about Fire.

    Home taping is killing the music business.

    I won't pick up on that remark either.
    
    Are the EPs on the LP, or have they been honest and put out all-new
    material? Thanks to that magnificent device, the personal stereo, I can
    tell you RIGHT NOW that "Pearl" is brilliant.

    I think that falls into the category of paraleipsis, personally.

    Someone should change the title of this topic to say "Chapterhouse"
    or is it "Chapter House?" (I've seen it written both ways.) So everyone
    knows what group you're refering to.
    
    They're getting a lot of airplay on the local commercial hipster
    station in LA, which is *way cool*.

    They were back on MTV on sunday night with an interview and some songs
    for about half an hour.I like thier videos and looked good live but
    it was the actuall record that was playing.I hear they are touring the 
    states just now - is this true - if so anyone been to see them yet?

840.16MINDER::GLYNNPThe sexual neuroses of crowds.Wed May 29 1991 12:196
Have they finally admitted to hailing from Reading (or Sonning Common to be 
precise), or are they still sticking with the story that they were born in a 
squat in Finsbury Park?

Paul
840.17WENDYS::PRICETBurning Me Out From The InsideWed May 29 1991 12:527
    On Snub they did call Reading the centre of the cultural universe all
    be it sarcastically and the music press seem to always mention that
    they are from here so it looks like they're not going to get away with
    dis-owning their roots HAHA =8*)

840.18life's a gamble...MIACT::RANKINETue Jun 11 1991 17:244
    Just bought the LP/CD at lunchtime today on the strength of the
    comments/recommendations on this note....I hope I/you are right...

840.19weeeeeelMIACT::RANKINEMon Jun 17 1991 15:516
    Played it a couple of times so far. I would say its far more like
    Lush,Pale Saints, possibly even Ultra Vivid Scene, than it is the
    Cocteaus. Its Ok...perhaps a few more plays will elevate it into the
    good cateagory...if not... 2nd hand CD for sale.
    cheers

840.21It is the Chaperhouse gig ??MIACT::RANKINEThu Jun 20 1991 20:585
    Isnt there something about levitation being taken off the Tranvision
    Vamp and one other gig, in this weeks MM?? ..I hate when that happens
    as sometimes I go to see just the support band
    Paul
    
840.22CHEFS::PRICETBurning Me Out From The InsideFri Jun 21 1991 11:556
    Yes they've been taken off the Chapterhouse bill for July 6th for some
    reason as well, its really annoyed me as I'm going and I was looking
    forward to seeing them again.
