6 Music picks: Maria and the Gay & Liz Green

By / October 10, 2011
Every week we get to play two tracks for Tom Robinson on his excellent BBC 6 Music Introducing show… This week, we sat in for the WHOLE SHOW – hurrah for Tom Robinson! 

You can listen again here.   
 
It was a Girl Music Special so we plugged into some of the latest favourites uploaded onto the Introducing Uploader for two hours of great tracks, aswell as our usual picks for the week below.

*Maria and the Gay – Daddy’s Bulge

We are already in love with this DIY Manchester council flat duo (their tags, not ours!). Their debut record Greatest Hits Vol 1 is out on Big Print Records on October 18th, run by Robert from The Nightingales and home of other TOW faves Hotpants Romance. Maria Dada is from Lebanon and Amy Pennington is from ‘The North’, they make electro-pop and short kick ass indie tunes in their Manchester council flat and are poised to take over the world. With track titles like ‘Motherfolkers’, ‘Pushy Mum’ and ‘I Wannabe In Democracy’, how can you not love them?

*Liz Green – Hey Joe

  

Liz Green is offering up Hey Joe as a free download and we heartily encourage you to get your hands on it: http://soundcloud.com/lizgreenmusic/hey-joe/s-8lk7H 
The Manchester singer songwriter’s debut album O, Devotion is out on Play It Again Sam Records on the 14th November and we can’t wait to give the whole thing a spin. News from the Liz Green camp seemed to die down after the hoo ha that surrounded her performance on the main stage at Glastonbury in 2007 (after winning their Emerging Talent comp). It’s been 4 years and NOW we can sit back and enjoy a full, fully accomplished and very beautiful record. Hurray!
