LUPINE HOWL BIOGRAPHY

 

 

Lupine Howl were formed out of the ashes of Spirtualized, in January 1999. Sean Cook lead Howler explains. "I see Lupine Howl as capable of doing whatever we feel like doing".

Lupine Howl release their debut single "Vaporizer". It gets single of the week in the NME "Its all reckless freak out. They must be very pleased with themselves. After all revenge is a dish best eaten cool. This record is way cool"

They follow up their debut release with some outstanding London shows. This confirms the band as one of the most powerful live bands around. The live set is all Spencer Davis grooves and Parliament rifts.

Debut album "The Carnivorous Lunar Activities Of Lupine Howl…." released in the spring of 2001. Uncut called the album " Full on psychedelic throttle rock", Big Issue album of the week "Smacked out cosmic jams. They are doing it all by themselves ", Daily Telegraph "Its Good to hear such great music coming out of so much acrimony", Sunday Express "It’s a fantastic album".

Which brings us right up to date, Lupine Howl release their new album "The Bar at the End Of The World" on October 14th 2002, through Beggars Banquet.

The new album was recorded over the last year with fellow Howlers Mike Mooney & Jon Mattock; "The Bar" is a beautiful string layden country tinged psych record. It's with out doubt their finest recordings to date, and shows a band relaxed in their approach to songwriting.

Sean Cook on the new album "Virtue and Vice are negated by the grave, but as long as you got a grave you got somewhere to go. After signing off from life it's just possible to see both your impotence and your power. We can be pathetic and beautiful but when we become proud we are often succeeded by the weak and the lean and the low. I'm confused about most things but one thing I do know is that I'm clearly fucked but at least I'm clear about that. I hope there is a bar at the end of world so that at least, when I get there, I can get a drink"

The Howl will be touring most autumn 2002, this is a real chance to see the band in full force. Their live show's are already being hailed as classic's, so much so that The Charlatans asked the band to support them on their UK tour. The band also has played with The Dandy Warhols.
