No Dance "Carnival of Souls" EP
|
This 3 track EP featuring
Damien Lovelock of Celibate Rifles, Brett Myers of Died Pretty, and Louis Tillett (then Wet Taxis) was a side project that created many new fans, especially in Oz. But none more enthusiastic than John Peel of the BBC "Peel Sessions". He enthusiastically played Louis' "Swimming in the Mirror" track and made noises that Louis was an Artist of great potential. He followed up with the same enthusiasm when Louis' first "Solo" album Ego Tripping at The Gates of Hell came across his path. It was no surprise that this exponent of new music piqued the interest of so many Music magazines of the time...which allowed Louis' music to receive great attention, acclaim and circulation from the Music Press, and their avid readers, of such publications as Muzik Express, NME, Rolling Stone and so many others. This was a time, before the internet, when hungry music lovers would hang on every word of these influential deejays and commentators...to find out about Music - whether that was locally or across the other side of the world. |
It is for this very reason, starting, in particular with this EP...that Louis gained a reputation as an Independent Artist with a "Mighty" stature....with so many references to him as
"the most famous Artist you've never heard of" and a "Cult Underground Artist" "Swimming In The Mirror"
Originally recorded for No Dance
An Accoustic Project pre-dating "Unplugged". (Damien Lovelock/Brett Myers/Louis Tillett). The first song ever written, recorded and produced by Louis Tillett.
