Ascertained in stereophonics


Stereophonics drummer Stuart Cable became the Local Boy in the photograph in this year doesn't reality to often copy art.

Guitarist Kelly Jones told the Herald “my best friend”: “He’ll always be 23 / yet the train runs on and on / Past the place they found his clothing /And all the friends lay down the flowers / Sit on the banks and drink for hours / Talk of the way they saw him last / Local boy in the photograph.”

Talking about Javier Weyler, Kelly says: “One minute he was making our tea, the next he was playing drums for us! It was quite a promotion. He’d started to play tambourine on a few tracks then things went a bit funny with our drummer and Javier kind of took over in the studio, and did some demos. Do you fancy coming round the world with us? And he did. Stuff of dreams. Stuart had parted ways with us in 2003 but we were best mates all throughout that while. He was always part of the band, but it was a work thing and we always got on as friends”.

Talking about latest integrant “Jav” Kelly says: “He’s excited, all his family here — even his 90-year-old grandmother is here and I’ll bet she’s never been to a festival before. I’ll bet she’ll never go again! But it will be good. We did Brazil yesterday (Friday) then we’ve got Peru and Chile coming up. And that will be the end of the world tour as we’ve been out for 15 months.”

Welsh band has a large, seven-album catalog pull out tracks from but perhaps the reality of the day job is a bit dull. He includes, “We change the set list as much as we can, to be honest. Tonight we’ll be bringing out all the big singles as we’ve only got 50 minutes, so there is no point in trying to go off there either, as we’ve never played here before. We keep it in trim by changing up songs we play, changing things to the set list and to make it as fresh for us and the audience as we can. If you did the same 20 songs every night, then you would go fucking insane. It’s also a good opportunity to be heard by people who wouldn’t normally know who we are to see us so we get to steal a few fans. Maybe we can steal a few Massive Attack fans!”

Stereophonies last album released in November 2009 Kelly says, “We’re having a good time and the band is in a good place. We all get on really well as mates, and we were all friends before we were in a band. On the next album we’re going to try to mix up music and film and try to do something completely different. It’s the touring that’s time consuming: it takes a year to go round the world, but creatively we’re still very excited about what we’re doing and want to keep going forward and try new things.”

THESE first two albums by the Welsh rockers, dating from 1997 and 1999, are widely acknowledged to be their best.

Word ... contained songs of the calibre of A Thousand Tress, More Life In A Tramp's Vest and Traffic, but it's the extras which makes this reissue – available as a 2CD or 3CD set – worth it.

B-sides Carrot Cake And Wine and Tie Me Up Tie Me Down are as good as anything they've written, and there's eight unreleased songs, including three from a Newcastle University show.

Performance ... was their first No1, propelled by the success of The Bartender And The Thief and Just Looking.

There's deluxe or super-deluxe versions here too, comprising B-sides, BBC sessions and live tracks, with a version of The Kinks' Sunny Afternoon among the highlights. 8/10 each. GW

Stereophonics at the O2 Arena.


This show was a mixed bag of hits and misses, though which was which was debatable. The hits were well-worn favourites from Stereophonics’ solid, safe back catalogue; the misses from the current album Keep Calm and Carry On, by far the poorest performing of the band’s 13-year career. No prizes for guessing which the crowd had come to hear.

Yet the mightiest moments of the night belonged to a spate of new songs. I Got Your Number was stomping, grinding glam rock, accompanied by an explosion of strobes and striking visuals that turned the band into real-time, on-screen illustrations. Live ‘n’ Love was passionate power-rock, the fast, furious Trouble owed a debt to Led Zep, and the broody ballad Beer Bottle was intriguing electronica, during which Stereophonics were swathed in murky shadows. How demoralising it must have been for the band to see all those songs greeted by a sea of disappointed faces, or a few fists half-heartedly punching the air.

Not all the new songs worked so well. Stuck in a Rut recalled 1980s Bryan Adams; Uppercut could hardly have packed a fluffier punch; and the set opener Innocent — a single that failed to chart last year — was join-the-dots rock. It didn’t help that, after a decade of selling out venues this size, the singer Kelly Jones still struggles as a showman. His habit of curtly introducing tracks by their title and the name (and occasionally date) of the accompanying album made him sound like an efficient librarian.

Despite Jones’s lack of charisma, you wanted to hug him for trying so hard to break Stereophonics out of the soft rock rut in which their fans have left them stuck. Sadly, the fans won out with their ecstatic reaction to golden oldies such as Same Size Feet, Pick a Part That’s New, Maybe Tomorrow, Mr Writer and the woeful Have a Nice Day, a song now as tedious as its title. Only on the glorious closer Dakota did Stereophonics’ ambitions and the fans’ expectations collide. Commercial concerns will stand in their way, but Stereophonics shouldn’t stop trying to change.
