Chat with Lunch Time Loves Ringo Death Starr

Texan shoegazers Ringo Deathstarr talk about their debut album Colour Trip in Lunchtime Loves, plus hear more of Gruff Rhys' Most Played tracks.

This week's Lunchtime Loves you'll hear everyday are Ringo Deathstarr & they'll be in chatting to Nemone. The band are Elliott Frazier - guitar and vocals, Alex Gehring - bass and vocals, Daniel Coborn - drums, Renan McFarland - guitar. They are from Austin, Texas, they like to play short sets, they are very loud!
Elliott originally formed the band in 2005 in his hometown of Beaumont, TX. After a few personel changes and re-locating to Austin, TX they have now settled on this line-up.

Ringo Deathstarr have been creating quite a stir on the live front with blistering volume and breathtaking performances of the short adrenaline fuelled variety, so much so that they've secured themselves support slots with the mighty Voxtrot, The Dandy Warhols and a very well received showcases at 2008's and 2009's SXSW.

Tune in each day to hear tracks chosen by Super Furry Animals front man Gruff Rhys. Gruff Rhys checks in with third solo album, Hotel Shampoo, his most ambitious and fully realized yet. As well as the intentions above, Hotel Shampoo is inspired by, and takes its title from, Gruff's extensive collection of mini shampoo bottles and complimentary hotel products acquired whilst touring the world. "Having never kept a journal these items have become like diary entries, triggering memories of all those buildings and random people I've met and inspiring songs on the album.
Plus Video of the Week is She Wants by Metronomy, an electronic music group formed by Joseph Mount in Totnes, Devon, England in 1999. Their music consists of instrumental electronic music and more recently, with the release of Nights Out, vocal electronic pop music. Mount also releases remixes under the name Metronomy, and has remixed many artists including.
