After 6 years, various line up changes, a shift of base to the other side of the world - & in the bands own words, some time out to reflect, look back & more importantly, to look forward, The Morning After Girls were ready.
93MillionMilesFromTheSun are:- Nick Noble (guitars/effects/vocals) & Rob Hogg (bass/effects). This has always been the core of the band & is supplemented by drums & extra guitars when playing live. The album 93 Million Miles From The Sun is available direct from Parallax Sounds. Combining layered, textured guitars over an array of effects and choral vocals, 93 Million Miles From The Sun is one of those records that, while evoking memories of the likes of Slowdive in their heyday or even a more sonically enhanced Maps, stands tall and proud in its own right due to the dazzling range of variation across its thirteen tracks. Another key element of 93MillionMilesFromTheSun's extensive make-up is that not only do they express a desire to take their sonic experimentation one step further, but they also never lose sight of the fact that beneath all the reverb and delay lay actual songs that would sound just as affecting stripped down. They get their name from a Swervedriver b-side. They both create amazing shoegazing rock and they sound like a shoegazing Mogwai with bits of early Verve, My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Loop, Slowdive, ect... 93MillionMilesFromTheSun are popular worldwide and are now one of the best leading shoegaze bands out there becoming big favourites with people especially in the shoegazing scene. 93MillionMilesFromTheSun have achieved number 15 in John Peel's Festive Top 50 of 2010, they have released an exclusive track on the "Secret Garden - The New Wave of Shoegaze (Nugaze)" compilation album along with other artists like Ulrich Schnauss and The Fauns. Recently completed is the new album Northern Sky, which is due out this summer & the band are currently preparing to play the new songs live. Nick Noble gave us a little of his time in between rehearsing & soundproofing a new studio to pick his 5. Under duress I might add - we had to force him to choose just 5: "There's too many albums i couldn't live without. I've only scratched the surface with this..."
It'll be a big list so it will take some compiling. But we will do it. We will add & add & add to the list until there's no more coffee to consume to keep us going. It's all about who's striving to keep the very essence of music alive & well, often on their own, in small teams, after a day at work. There's some who are a little luckier & have already turned it into a viable business but they need not be less worthy of our praise. Oh yeah, it's also about not being the N.M.E...
