Thistletown are a psychedelic folk band from Falmouth, Cornwall. They came to public attention through a Guardian Newspaper column by Will Hodgkinson concerning his year-long project to start a record label, after he saw them playing in The Jacobs Ladder pub in Falmouth. The band lived together on a boat, and formed due to a collective love of obscure 1970's folk bands such as 'Heron' and 'Trees'.〔Hodgkinson, Will, "Guardian", 08/06/2007, "http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2007/jun/08/popandrock3" 10/04/2010〕 They recorded an album, 'Rosemarie', named after their boat, in the garden of a Cornish cottage with Circulus main man, Michael Tyack, and Benet Walsh producing.〔Hodgkinson, Will, "Guardian", 10/08/07, "http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2007/aug/10/folk" 10/04/2010〕 The album was well received by the press, receiving 4 stars from The Times,〔Jelbert, Steve, "Times", 18/01/2008, "http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/cd_reviews/article3205145.ece" 10/04/2010〕 along with 'Mojo' magazine, 'Record Collector' and others. The band played at Green Man Festival in 2007, and Radio 1 DJ Rob Da Bank afterward declared them the "Kings and Queens of the Green Man", announcing, "They're so folky it hurts".〔Hodgkinson, Will, "Guardian", 07/10/2007 "http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2007/sep/07/popandrock3" 10/04/2010〕 The group disbanded in 2008.〔Hodgkinson, Will, "Guardian", 18/07,2008, "http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/jul/18/folk" 10/04/2010〕 They briefly reformed in 2010. ==Discography== *Rosemarie (2008, Big Bertha Records) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thistletown (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
