The Wave Pictures - Jonny Helm (drums), Dave Tattersall (guitar & vocals) and Franic Rozycki (bass) - return with their new album 'Bamboo Diner in The Rain' due out in November 2016. Following on from 2015's Billy Childish collaboration 'Great Big Flamingo Burning Moon' and their recent acoustic record 'A Season in Hull', 'Bamboo Diner in the Rain' sees The Wave Pictures battling against the robot music apocalypse. The album is a bluesy, boozy love letter to the guitar, filled with American Primitive instrumentals, John Lee Hooker chugs and Link Wray style minor-key surf music.
Franic and David grew up in a village called Wymeswold where they started playing music together with Hugh J. Noble on drums. The band was called Blind Summit. When Hugh decided he didn't want to play drums he went to Exeter to study Philosophy instead. The band changed it's name to The Wave Pictures and Hugh was replaced by several drummers until Jonny "Huddersfield" Helm became the permanent replacement.
Not only did I appreciate his take-no-prisoners musical stylings but also the imaginative lyrical ideas I found mighty refreshing. This is a man who clearly harbours no ambition to be seen hobnobbing with Dido at the Met Bar and has opted instead to plough a righteous but lonely furrow.
Mae The Wave Pictures – Jonny Helm (drymiau), Dave Tattersall (gitâr a llais) a Franic Rozycki (bas) – yn dychwelyd gyda’u halbwm newydd ‘Bamboo Diner in The Rain’ i fod allan ym mis Tachwedd 2016. Yn dilyn ymlaen o gydweithrediad Billy Childish yn 2015’ Mae Great Big Flamingo Burning Moon’ a’u record acwstig ddiweddar ‘A Season in Hull’, ‘Bamboo Diner in the Rain’ yn gweld The Wave Pictures yn brwydro yn erbyn yr apocalypse cerddoriaeth robot. Mae'r albwm yn llythyr caru fel y felan, boozy i'r gitâr, wedi'i lenwi ag offerynnau American Primitive, chugs John Lee Hooker a cherddoriaeth syrffio mân-allweddol arddull Link Wray.
Tyfodd Franic a David i fyny mewn pentref o'r enw Wymeswold lle dechreuon nhw chwarae cerddoriaeth gyda Hugh J. Noble ar y drymiau. Enw'r band oedd Blind Summit. Pan benderfynodd Hugh nad oedd eisiau chwarae drymiau aeth i Gaerwysg i astudio Athroniaeth yn lle hynny. Newidiodd y band ei enw i The Wave Pictures a disodlwyd Hugh gan sawl drymiwr nes i Jonny "Huddersfield" Helm ddod yn olynydd parhaol.
Gwerthfawrogais nid yn unig ei steiliau cerddorol ‘take-no-prisoners’ ond hefyd y syniadau telynegol llawn dychymyg a oedd yn fy adfywiol. Dyma ddyn sy’n amlwg heb unrhyw uchelgais i gael ei weld yn hobi gyda Dido yn y Met Bar ac sydd wedi dewis yn lle hynny i aredig rhych cyfiawn ond unig.
