Voga Parochia and their very own Boy Mandeville welcomed to Do You DIY?

Voga Parochia is the hot new label set up by the eARmusic boys and Kind Canyon records set up to release the snazziest twee/electro-folk they can get their carbon-fibre oven gloves on.

Having already had releases from Lulu and the Lampshade, Victoria and Jacob with a Boy Mandeville release set for June 7th, Voga Parochia is a real mixed bag consisting of folk, electro and indie.
One thing all the bands have in common is a home-made aesthetic and DIY attitude that ties them together irrespective of musical style.

Boy Mandeville

This north London quartet makes visceral up-beat guitar music that has been road tested on the gig circuit around London and Cambridge for the last 9 months. After originally meeting in Cambridge, the four settled in Haringey, North London to work as a band, self-releasing a free three-track demo, ‘Wintry Pea’ on Christmas Day. With an upcoming single release with London independent label, Kind Canyon Records, the band look to expand their idiosyncratic alt.pop sensibility in 2010.

Playing parties, warehouses, and their own kitchen for friends, the band advocates a DIY attitude towards music. Jack Gordon-Brown (vox.guitar), Mike Coxhead (vox.guitar), Brian Cantwell (bass.b/vox) and Jono Cary (drums.b/vox) may have disparate influences, but believe in live music as a key to developing song ideas and structure. Think Graceland-era Paul Simon, Talking Heads and the Kinks holding a fund raiser for Johnny Cash in a small and densely crowded house party.

Having worked closely with London promoters Ear Music, Voga Parochia and Madhouse, the Boy Mandeville look set to continue gigging and developing their recording craft with a future EP release in the next few months.
