Robin Allender has joined Gravenhurst (Warp Records). Allender will be playing bass guitar. Azalea City Penis Club’s Dave Collingwood, is already a member of the Bristol three-piece. Gravenhurst are touring all over the place this year, so keep an eye out for them.

If you can read French, then you may find Le Cargo’s review of their first gig with Allender interesting.

A near-final mix of Allender’s “A Case Of Leaves” also appears on Le Cargo’s Escale #2 free download compilation, along with two Dave Collingwood compositions. “A Case of Leaves” will appear on The Bird and the Word, the forthcoming debut album from Allender, whose release date we expect to announce shortly.
