I really hope I don't piss anybody off but I can't hold back any longer. The new "Tindersticks":http://www.myspace.com/tindersticksofficial album is due out one month from today. They would like it if you checked out their Myspace page (click on Tindersticks above) so that you can hear what will be their first single off the album, unfortunately I don't like it nearly as much as I like the one ...
A quick news tidbit for any Tindersticks fans out there ... the group has recently released a short film via Beggars Banquet in promotion for their wonderful new album The Hungry Saw, featuring commentary from singer Stuart Staples about the history of the band joined with choice snippets from the record. It's a nice little short for those already acquainted with them, and for fans-to-be who ar...
If it wasn't for the fact that its muggy and in the low '80s, just by looking out the widow right now you would swear it to be early November. Rain all day and clouds so solid you'd think the sun was about to set at any minute. Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD (funny how that worked out) usually sets in on me big time here in the north east, about a week after we "fall backwards". For me it's...
STOP! Just listen to that voice....Bathtime..Tindersticks are a rock band from Nottingham, England.

Tindersticks have employed electric guitars, as most rock b...
A one-bedroom flat in Paris, 14th arrondisement. A man enters the apartment, sheds his skin, and looks at his face in the toaster. "Did we create toast in order to use this toaster or did toast create this toaster or did toast create God?" he asks. "No matter." He hovers over a bleached vulture's carcass and checks on the never-ending checkers game sitting atop an apple; rat droppings (black) a...
I made the terrible, horrible, hubris-laden mistake of searching for a clip from the movie Trouble Every Day on YouTube.My conscious mind was able to grasp what I was seeing, just as I would for any other horror movie. Fine and dandy there.But if one ever needed evidence of the illusion of the conscious and free will, this was it. After a two-minute clip - and, mercifully, it's the only clip on...
concert review: Tindersticks, Elfin Saddle @ The Opera House (Toronto, Ontario) - March 10, 2009 Tindersticks' Stuart Staples: photo by Michael LigonIt was probably for the best that if I were to be attending any shows just prior to the three days of Canadian Musicfest shows I plan to attend that it would be the Tindersticks and Elfin Saddle at The Opera House this past Tuesday night. Succintl...

The last time Tindersticks brought their nocturnal noir-pop to Los Angeles, I was a sophomore in college — and not yet a fan. The L.A. Times’ Todd Martens has an excellent feature on the band today for those not caught up on the act’s recent trials and tribulations, which have included the exit of three [...]
All photos by David GreenwaldListening back to Tindersticks‘ fifth album, last year’s The Hungry Saw, the band’s exchange of late night cool for ’60s shuffling may not have been the greatest trade. But in their first Los Angeles show in five years, the band plunged deep into their old cocktails and turned the venue into [...]
