Hannah Lou Clark (TAPKA FOE) – new song, new video. Yup, different, but all still there for sure. – Mike Hughes
East Portland Blog is run by a man I’ve never met, but have become good friends with over the past few years. Let’s call him Davey. And just to prove that Davey takes notice of what he puts up on EPB, in one of our email conversations the other day, he asked “So what’s going …
This must be a record, nearly a month to post a gig review. I have my reasons for the ‘slight delay’ and I will post this and be damned, given that the raison d’etre for this blog was always supposed to be as my own gig diary and compendium. Anyone who wants to glance over …

But there’s hugely more quality than gimmick. It’s all a bit unsettling and …
I’ve only just realised that there was more than one video from FOE’s BBC Introducing session. This is almost as cracked as Tyrant Song – “Genies in my dressing gown…” ? Don’t let her baby-sit your kids or you’ll be paying for a child psychologist for years to come. And FOE, aka Hannah Clark, is …
I’ve been jonesing for this song since I heard it – great to see they can rip it live too – these deserve to be MASSIVE – freshest thing I’ve heard in ……..ooooh ages…… – Mike Hughes (Catshoegazing)
