Thurgoland EP

Thurgoland is a new 6-song CD EP by long-standing Leeds band The Sinister Cleaners. In the 1980s BBC Radio 1s John Peel was a Sinister Cleaners fan, playing all their 12 singles - and so was Janice Long, who invited them to the BBC for tea. Deals were discussed in London record company offices, tours were undertaken around the UK and Europe but the group werent really interested in the corporate game. Born into Margaret Thatchers Yorkshire during a time of mass unemployment and the miners strike, The Cleaners had three songwriters and took their influences from the whole rocknroll canon referencing Bob Dylan, The Velvet Underground, British psychedelia and punk while disconnected 1980s TV pop stars ignored politics and made sure their eyeliner looked OK. Since then theyve kept in touch. Someone said theyd always wanted to record at the famous Cargo studios in Rochdale, where Joy Division and The Fall recorded back in the day. Then someone said how great live recording was, and within weeks they were in the Cargo building insisting that they record live in the cellar and not in the studio (now Voltalab) upstairs. The result is the Thurgoland EP. All have been involved in other projects: Simon with The Wedding Present, Beachbuggy, Cha Cha Cohen and RRRapid-Kool, Len with The Ukrainians, Wedding Present and as The Legendary Len Liggins, Andrew with Colenso Parade and The Tripping Cherubs and John with Whole Sky Monitor, The Chorus, Fuzzbird, Greenhouse, the Sunny Smiles Three, Electric Flea Show and solo.
