Jake Bugg's wish

Jake Bugg said it in the NME, he really wants to support the Arctic Monkeys, after being support of Noel Gallagher's band and also The Stone Roses (and the Killers) our young star has revealed that.

Indeed, he said "I'd like to support the Arctic monkeys, that would be cool" but he told also his intention to have his own shows and not just to be a support !! He also told about his excitment concerning the release of his first album "Jake Bugg".

On the article you could find also his tour dates :D

Don't forget, the album will be released in october 15th.

Impact Magazine

To begin with, Impact Magazine has published an article about Jake Bugg, it depicts him as a great singer (which it's true ^^). Again, the writer compares with other singers, I don't like that as you know, because when you label a singer as the association between Dylan and Bugg, it can be hard to remove it, but it's my opinion.
The writer talks about the fact that Jake Bugg could become 1st in the charts of Nottingham, I think he can too, I don't know if you've seen the way Jake Bugg is raising but it's lightning ! Also, we learn something really interesting, the song "Lightning Bolt" became the theme song of Usain Bolt and was played in the Olympic Stadium this summer !!

Dont' Forget, the debut album will be released the 15th October :)

PS : It seems that the Arthur's Day Festival was a great day for Jake Bugg !!

Two Fingers' video

Enjoy it !!! (This is f****** great !!!)

J.B in The Independant's guide of best new bands !

"Jake Bugg

Claim to fame The 18-year-old has already supported the Stone Roses. Enough said.

Background Looks like a younger Noel Gallagher and has been hailed as the new working-class hero of rock'n'roll. You can't speak to many in the music industry without hearing about the teenager from Nottingham. He has appeared on Later with Jools Holland, supporting his Oasis lookalike and the Killers, and his music has been plucked for the BBC's Olympic coverage. Clearly, somebody, somewhere, has been very impressed. Signed to Mercury, and with an album out next month, this youngster with an old-fashioned taste in music can do little wrong, it seems."

Also, you can find an article especially about Jake Bugg here, a really interesting article about how jake bugg started and some interesting things about him :)

Reeperbahn-Festival !

I've just read an article from Die Welt (a German newspaper) which deals with Jake Bugg.
The folk singer is consider as the discovery of the festival. The article underlines the fact that he sounds like a young Bob Dylan, playing and singing with an impressive nonchalance.  Finally, it is said that Billy Brag, Paul Weller and Noel Gallagher see him as the future of the British Folk/Rock and, underlines the website, they are quite right.

"Bugg will only get better"

This is the last sentence you can find on http://www.musicomh.com/albums/jake-bugg_0912.htm.

The writer deals essentially with the album itself but also Jake Bugg and his influence.
Despite the fact that I don't like when an artist is compared to someone else, because each singer is different from another, this is a well-build article and the critics about the different songs of the album are relevant, read it you'll see.

Sentences you can find on it :

"Noel has declared himself a fan of 18-year-old Jake Bugg"

"With an assured touch, he paints a picture of violent stabbing on Seen It All"

"Broken, a delightfully nuanced and heartbroken love song"

'Everyone is saying that Nottingham is at the centre of the music universe'

This is the new title of one of the article on thisisnottingham.co.uk, why am I talking about this ? Because Nottingham decided to support the local artists (like Jake Bugg) because it is told that "Nottingham is at the centre of the music universe"

The Trigger

Do you know that you must be thankful to The Simpsons ? Why ? If I tell you Season 14 Episode 16 ? What the link with Jake Bugg ?

One day, Little Jake Bugg was watching TV and on the screen, an episode of The Simpsons.
What he heard at that moment woke up the great Jake Bugg, it was :

"Vincent" from Don McLean which is a song in tribute to Vincent Van Gogh, the famous painter. This is a really beautiful song so enjoy it :)

(Perhaps you'll be the next Jake Bugg thanks to McLean ^^)

The Killers and Jake Bugg !

This is an extract from the Guardian's website about the concert of both The Killers and Jake Bugg, his performance are appreciated :)


"With his dark hair cut just so, and his anorak on indoors, up-and-coming singer-songwriter Jake Bugg recalls the young Liam Gallagher. But the hype surrounding this Nottingham teenager tilts towards the idea of Bugg as a young Noel. He writes chippy, catchy songs about masculine concerns, many of them drawn from the 60s. Two Fingers is a particularly persuasive cut from his forthcoming debut album. "I drink to remember, I smoke to forget" Bugg sings, before his bassist and drummer break into a jangly chorus that yearns for escape from the pleasures of the verses. Unsurprisingly, Noel has declared himself a fan. So Bugg is off on tour with Gallagher's High Flying Birds in Europe next month, and on to the States after that.
He is going to love America. Listening to him open for the Killers at the iTunes festival, he isn't the Noel G mini-me that his celebrity link-up suggests. Bugg is a much older soul. His voice may be reedy but it's powerful. Like the generation of Liverpool bands of 15 years ago – the Coral, the Zutons, and more recently, Miles Kane – Bugg is a young man with preternaturally antediluvian tastes. In the video for his single Lightning Bolt, released last May, he's in a record shop, leafing through the country vinyl. It ends his set tonight on a rattly high."

Taste it !

One of my favourite song of the album, Taste It, just joyful and magic =)

Fill my head with the future
Fill my eyes with the sky
Whole my life
I’ve left behind
Never felt more alive

I speed conversation
Speed it all along
Look in your eyes
Like I’ve said good-bye
But I never felt more alive

I can taste it
In my mouth it’s so bitter sweet
It’s nothing in your eyes

It should be easy,

But it’s hard to leave

Without need a fire zeppelin
You don’t know if you don’t try
Look the way I should
But I walk the hood
But I’ve never felt more alive

Talk about the imagination
Think about the things you are
You are close to sky
But I never felt more alive

I can taste it
In my mouth it’s so bitter sweet
It’s nothing in your eyes
It should be easy,
But it’s hard to leave

Hope you enjoy it :)

Don't Forget !!

Saffron is still in free download so enjoy it !!

Lightning Bolt

This song will light up your day :) http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/lightning-bolt-single/id519686397
Morning, it’s another pure grey morning
Don’t know what the day is holding
When I get uptight
And I walk right into the path of a lightning bolt

Sirens of an ambulance comes howling
Right through the centre of town and
No one blinks an eye
And I look up to the sky in the path of a lighting bolt

Met her as the angels parted for her
But she only brought me touture
But that’s what happens
When it’s you who’s standing in the path of a ligthning bolt

Everyone I see just wants to walk with gritted teeth
But I just stand by and I wait my time
They say you gotta tow the line they want the water not the wine
But when I see the signs I jump on that lightning bolt

Chances, people tell you not to take chances
When they tell you there aren’t any answers
And I was starting to agree
But I awoke suddenly in the path of a lightning bolt

Fortune, people talking all about fortune
Do you make it or does it just call you.
In the blinking of an eye
Just another passerby in the path of a lightning bolt

Everyone I see just wants to walk with gritted teeth
But I just stand by and I wait my time
They say you gotta tow the line they want the water not the wine
But when I see the signs I jump on that lightning bolt

It was silent, I was lying back gazing skyward
When the moment got shattered
I remembered what she said
And then she fled in the path of a lightning bolt 

Trouble Town

The 25th January 2011, Jake Bugg announced his new single "Trouble Town", a great one :) Here, the lyrics : Stuck in speed bump city
Where the only thing that's pretty
Is the thought of getting out

There's a tower block overhead
All you've got's your benefits
And you're barely scraping by

In this trouble town
Troubles are found
In this trouble town
Words do get 'round

Kick the bottom make troubles flee
Smoke until our eyes would bleed
Sparkle pop the seed

Hear the sirens down the street
The kids get light on their feet
Or they'll be in the back seat

In this trouble town
Troubles are found

Sitting on the pavement
Boy you've missed your payment
And they're gonna find you soon

If there's a beating in the rain
If there's a little bit of pain, man
You're the one it happens to

If I talk of getting out
I only hear the laughter loud
It's gotten ugly at home

Somewhere there's a secret road
To take me far away I know
But til then I am hollow

In this trouble town
Troubles are found
In this trouble town
Fools are found

Sitting on the pavement
Boy you've missed your payment
And they're gonna find you soon

If there's a beating in the streets
If there's a feeling of defeat
You're the one it happens to

Stuck in speed bump city
Where the only thing that's pretty
Is the thought of getting out http://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/trouble-town-single/id505034399 :)
