Re: New Video!!

Sure!

Here you go:

The Blue Aeroplanes’ unique amalgam of rock, folk, poetry, punk, dance and 
art has been an acknowledged influence on a wide range of bands including 
REM and Radiohead. Combining pop smarts with serious weirdness, they have 
released almost thirty albums on various labels, several of which have 
charted in the UK Top 40 and the US Alternative Top 10. Their 1990 album 
‘Swagger’ was Rock Album Of The Year in many publications including The 
Sunday Times. Ex-members have gone on to play with Massive Attack, Suede, 
Placebo, Goldfrapp and Primal Scream, while for many years they shared 
multi-instrumentalist Ian Kearey with folk legends the Oyster Band. They 
remain the only group to have been banned from The Rainbow Lounge, Lemmy’s 
favourite hangout, and been invited to play at the Hay-On-Wye Literary 
Festival.

 

Now comes the release of the band’s twelfth studio album, ‘Welcome, 
Stranger!’, recorded by the longest-lasting Aeroplanes line up to date. 
Original members Gerard Langley (poet/singer), and John Langley (drummer), 
sometimes with Wojtek Dmochowski (dancer), are joined by Gerard Starkie, 
formerly the main  man of Witness and an Aeroplane since 2006, Chris Sharp 
(bassist and owner of The Fleece venue in Bristol), a band member since 
2008, and the more recent additions Bec Jevons (guitarist and front-person 
of I Destroy) and guitarist Mike Youe.  John and Mike also play with 
Bristol punk legend (and ex-Aeroplane) Rita Lynch, while Gerard is also 
Head Of Songwriting at BIMM Bristol, where he was responsible for guiding 
the early steps of George Ezra, among others. 

 

Recorded at country house studio Vale by highly-regarded engineer and 
musician T.J.Allen (Bat For Lashes), ‘Welcome, Stranger!’ is an instant 
art-pop classic,  melodic, riff-laden, driving, humorous, serious, 
delicate, furious, a defining statement by a band that refuses nostalgia. 
With newer artists such as Courtney Barnett exploring the same 
speak-singing, guitar-driven territory The Blue Aeroplanes have defined 
since the late Eighties, the band remain both contemporary and relevant. 
Lyrical concerns include relationships, the Universe, the death of Lou 
Reed, seagulls eating your chips, kids chucking rocks off motorway 
bridges, chocolate, the etiquette of x’s, crows and the existential nature 
of Elvis Festivals. And what could be more rock ‘n’ roll than that?
