Onze puber neuriet spontaan Cardiacs-songs (op dit moment: Arnald). Ik zeg... opvoeding geslaagd.

#Cardiacs at the QMU in Glasgow, 13 March 2026. A beautiful and life-affirming experience!

Eleven years ago I watched these two glorious gentlemen do a couple of #Cardiacs covers at the end of their show in a little pub in Wakefield.
Last night they did it “for real” at the Albert Hall in Manchester. I don’t think Vennart ever could have predicted that! 😎
What a wonderful night, and it was lovely to bump into Sharron in the pub afterwards 😀
-
Manchester, I am in you!
And I’ve just been handed this by young Mr Hayes outside the venue 😎
-
Off to Manchester to see #cardiacs #CardiacsBand as if twice this week already wasn't enough
-
I have dipped into the T-Shirt Vault for tonight’s #Cardiacs show!
(Old band t-shirts get put in an airtight bag in the loft when they start to get frayed and tatty)
Tonight I shall be sporting a 2004 vintage Little Man And A House long-sleeve from the Wildhearts winter tour, where I attended the Sheffield Leadmill date (and my car broke down on the way home 😔)
It’s getting a quick wash before I leave, as it was kinda smelly (no BO smell; fabric that’s been in storage for a long time smelly)
-
Just look at this lovely lot 😍
(BTW, who's the woman in that pic that isn't Sharon or Chöe?)
(Edit: apparently it’s Jim’s partner, Jane Kaye, on vocals)

For any of you heading out to the #Cardiacs gigs this week: show times
-
Just went and looked for #cardiacs on bluesky, and there’s loads of pics from last night’s show in Portsmouth.
I didn’t 100% know what the lineup would be, and there was a surprise or two, so don’t go looking if you don’t want spoilers!

New #review today: "In the nearly three years in between Solar Barbecue and Black and Gold, the members of #Sterbus have been contributing to others’ albums and working on a set of tunes that expand their sound dramatically. #DominiqueDAvanzo and #EmanueleSterbini turn away from the frantic #Cardiacs-inspired sound of some of their previous releases to a more balanced sound, and the result is a superb album of progressive #ChamberRock." #ExposeOnline #ProgressiveRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/sterbus-black-and-gold-2.html

3. Downup
Par le groupe anglais #Cardiacs qui vient de sortir un album en forme d'hommage à #TimSmith, le leader de ce groupe anglais, mort en 2020. Un groupe génial et parfaitement inclassable, qui a une manière de composer absolument unique et diablement convaincante.
Love casts a glow
Lays tracks upon a raging sea
In fear, he admits he's got a dungeon full
All of his own -
Tickets available again!!!
"Owing to the overwhelming demand for tickets - and the runaway success of Cardiacs’ long awaited new album ‘LSD’ - the unwavering benevolence of THE ALPHABET BUSINESS CONCERN has deemed it appropriate at this time to ‘upgrade’ TWO of the venues on the forthcoming jaunt up country, to larger capacity shows, so as to allow YOU to avail yourself of this generous opportunity of extra tickets should you have missed out on in the rush."

#nowPlaying Oceansize - Effloresce
Simply one of the finest #postrock albums ever commited to record. One Day All This Could Be Yours is an absolute face-melter.
Can't wait to see Vennart fronting #Cardiacs next year!

Might the #Cardiacs’ song ‘The Everso Closely Guarded Line’, from their 1989 LP On Land and in the Sea, be a contender for best album closer ever?
Yes.
The song’s last 3 minutes challenge you to say otherwise.

Tout n'est pas perdu en ce bas-monde, #Cardiacs a publié un sixième et dernier album, 5 ans après le décès de #TimSmith.

Interested to learn more about #TimSmith who name his band #cardiacs (arrest) and died from heart attack 40 years later. After more than 15 years his final album #LSD is finally out . Drop an ear if you re into psychedelic prog punk (pronk) https://alphabet-business-concern.bandcamp.com/album/lsd

Listening to Cardiacs’ LSD for the n+1th time today, I’m struck with that same sadness I felt when Tim Smith died in 2020: a sadness wrapped in the strange grief of not-knowing-someone but also knowing them & their work intimately, like a familiar floodtide coursing through the last 40 years of my life.
“O Flower Day! How is it you name it?
Yet you it talk to in a loving way
Make it spin flower moon
Your petals floated to the
Earth oh too soon”
— lyric excerpt from “Volob” -
I've been looking forward to the new Cardiacs' album LSD even though it carries with it a piquant odour of melancholy for being the first new album completed after Tim Smith's death (can he really be gone 5 years now?). It's only been in gestation for, what, EIGHTEEN years…? The trepidation of playing it was real.
But: it is wonderful, and—as ever and ever—utterly worthy of laudation.
And Tim is on it, all of Tim.
And Time is in it, all of Time.

Cardiacs : 'Downup' track new on bandcamp #Cardiacs #TimSmith #KavusTorabi #MikeVennart https://alphabet-business-concern.bandcamp.com/track/downup
-
My mind is more than a little blown that the lead singer from #Oceansize is now officially the lead singer with #Cardiacs 🤯
Mike's been working with the band for years, taking part in the Family shows, and has been a huge fan since forever. This is a dream job for him. It was obvious he was going to be involved, but we had no idea to this extent.
Just incredibly happy, joyous news.

A record shop in Carshalton, the birthplace of the Smith brothers, leaders of the mighty Cardiacs, really should be selling Cardiacs records. And so it is that I have resorted to sacrificing one for the cause from my own collection. One is better than none at all, after all 😎🐖🎶
Open Thursday, Friday, Saturday 12pm 'til 5pm @ Cryer Arts Centre, High Street, Carshalton 🦉

Ceci est l'un des plus beaux (dans le sens de complètement foutraque et absolument génial) des solos de guitare de la bande à #TimSmith. Le dialogue avec les cuivres est un petit chef d'œuvre, le langage mélodique de la guitare est un feu d'artifice.
Et bravo à ce compte Youtube pour s'être coltiné la retranscription de ce que je pensais naïvement être impossible à rédiger sur une partition.

Today's new #review: Solar Barbecue by #Sterbus. "Solar Barbecue may be only 25 minutes long, but it’s packed with enough ideas for an album twice that length. Sterbus is clearly inspired in large part by #Cardiacs, and the nine tracks are packed with the same kind of manic energy that the late Tim Smith and company were known for." #ExposeOnline #progrock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/sterbus-solar-barbecue-2.html

"Is This The Life" tiré de l'album "A Little Man and a House and the Whole World Window", 1988.
Sorti en single à l'époque avec un clip sympa mais en version amputée... Le voici ici réparé grâce à The Borax Bandit sur Youtube (le solo du génial #TimSmith y est restauré dans son entièreté).
Le groupe anglais #Cardiacs est ce qui est arrivé de mieux à la pop culture au 20e siècle (certes, avec quelques autres).
