By Li Peng Cheok Tuesday 25 May 2010 Bar Lane Studios, Micklegate Corner, Copyright; Bar Lane Studios How does one go about becoming an artist? Some move to Paris and wait for inspiration to strike, some start drawing from infancy and hope for the best, and some become rock stars first, and fall into painting once their band hits the rocks. That was the case for John Squire, former guitarist of pioneer English rock band, the Stone Roses. “You leave a few groups, become disillusioned, start painting,” he says languidly, brushing grey-streaked dark hair out of his eyes. Well, at least we know he still looks the part of a rock star. Squire’s involvement in art is not anything particularly new; his Jackson-Pollock-style artwork used to adorn the covers of Stone Roses albums, singles, and promotional posters while he was still involved in the band. However, it has only been in recent years that his art has become such a prominent part of his life. In 2004, he converted a barn near his home in Macclesfield into an art studio, started painting full time and held his first exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London. Since then, his art, described as “bold and dynamic and saturated with emotion” by Saatchi and Saatchi Art Magazine, has found great success. Besides exhibiting in galleries across the globe from London to Tokyo, he has also been involved in various commercial projects including recently creating postcards for the RCA Secret Project and designing book covers for the Penguin Decades Series. Squire, who has said that art feels more natural to him than music, seems to be reveling in the new fame he has found as an artist. “To me, it’s not really work,” he says. “I don’t find myself running out of ideas. I never lose momentum. It’s something that I never managed to achieve with music.” http://nouse.co.uk/2010/05/25/stone-roses%e2%80%99-guitarist-john-squire-talks-to-li- Archived 11 Dec 2018 peng-cheok-about-his-move-into-art 00:21:01 Nouse Web Archives Stone Roses’ guitarist John Squire talks to Li Peng Cheok about his Page 2 of move into art. 4 Counting Jackson Pollock, Gary Hume and Georgia O’Keeffe amongst his influences, he opines that oil painting is still his favourite way to work with art. “I feel like I’m finally starting to understand its alchemy,” he muses. “It’s all about form and colour, whatever the subject. There’s something about wax that feels a bit obnoxious, but oil is pure and simple. Rewarding.” John Squire; Copyright Bar Lane Studios Despite this, he has also been known to utilise numerous other kinds of materials. For instance, what about his flirtation with metal and methods of welding last year? “Never again,” he laughs. “Too much work. Too unyielding.” Lately, his works have focused on conventional drawing and painting. His latest exhibition, titled Structural Violence, staged here in York, is a vigorous collection that blends block colour and stark monotone, using hand-carved block prints to explore the influence of architectural structures and linear cityscapes. “It just fell out of the blue,” Squire explains. “I was trying to avoid figure drawing and started off with a studio tidy-up. I found a rubber roller, took the chance to get out of the studio, and found the results very satisfying. It was purely coincidental.” The exhibition was the first to open at the newly founded Bar Lane Studios, Micklegate, on the site of the old York Sony Centre. Structural Violence debuted last Friday in conjunction with the opening of the not- for-profit art hub, opened by York illustrator, Ben Clowes. For those of us who aren’t as lucky to start off in a major rock band, Bar Lane Studios provides a space for artists in the interim between graduating from university and jumping into the working world. The studios, which are a first of its kind in the UK in terms of its scope, offer facilities like an Apple Mac suite, a print workshop, a showcase gallery, and up to 22 studios for hire from as little as £1.50 per day. Students graduating this summer, especially, are encouraged to drop by and view the space. While it remains early days for the project, the space promises to be entirely ready by August. Courses and workshops to be run at the studio range from Screen Printing and Jewellery Design to Nathan Walsh’s Painting Master Class. “I wish them the best of luck,” says Squire. “It’s great to see artists start out young. I believe people develop; they don’t just exist. Like for me, art is not just a departure from music. I try to make beautiful objects. It’s more like a return to something.” Ah, yes, the music. While Squire has said over and over again that he has no intention of a Stone Roses reunion, surely it must be impossible for him to completely outgrow those good old days. “No,” he insists. “Performing live is definitely something to be experienced, of course. But it is a youthful pursuit. Touring around in a van with the lads just doesn’t appeal to me anymore. In a way, exhibiting is like performing live. There is a similar kind of desire for personal exposure and wanting to be judged.” He smiles. “It’s just been tempered by age.” http://nouse.co.uk/2010/05/25/stone-roses%e2%80%99-guitarist-john-squire-talks-to-li- Archived 11 Dec 2018 peng-cheok-about-his-move-into-art 00:21:01 Nouse Web Archives Stone Roses’ guitarist John Squire talks to Li Peng Cheok about his Page 3 of move into art. 4 5 comments ronniemglasgow 26 May ’10 at 7:13 pm yeah right john ! it was only last year you were offering songs up for ian browns last album, if brownie called you would do it and you know it. as for exhibiting being like playing live ? do us all a favour and lift the phone. Report Dinah 30 May ’10 at 3:15 am You see, you see! Squire has grown up. He’s no longer into that “youthful” whatchamacallit. The man is art and art is the man. Report michaelblack1990 30 May ’10 at 4:51 am those tunes should be leaked onto youtube. would love to see how JS’ music has developed after a self- imposed hiatus. COME ON JOHN! you’re only as young as you are old. Report Pete 13 Jun ’10 at 4:27 pm Do what the beatles did, stop touring and just make albums then. I’m thinking John’s got no songs to write. Report Martin 15 Sep ’10 at 2:17 am I’m glad John is doing his thing. But I’d hate the Roses to become like the Beatles, Small Faces or the Clash: One of them popping their clogs (God forbid!) and then years of regrets and ‘could’ve would’ve should’ves’….

  • New Music Video from Amaunet with Nostalgic 90'S MTV Feel
    Amaunet Aug 07, 2020 12:20 UTC New music video from Amaunet with nostalgic 90's MTV feel Join Amaunet on a nostalgic, summer roadtrip in the music video to their latest single "Pilot", out everywhere now. Taken from their upcoming debut EP, the single is the perfect 90s inspired indie-rock anthem with catchy hooks and memorable lyrics. The single and it's accompanied video fits perfectly for fans of bands such as Kings of Leon and Oasis. The video is filmed in a way that is inspired by the band's own favourite bands and memories from when music channels ruled the world, with the britpop-sound at it's peak. Filmed on a sunny day with beautiful shots, the video draws the mind towards distant memories and fleeting feelings of late summer evenings, adventures with friends and roadtrips under the burning sun. "The video has a distinctly ’90s feel, and I got quite nostalgic watching it. I felt as though I was sat back in my parent’s living room, checking out MTV on our oversized television." - Daniel Fagan, IMN The band effortlessly blends melodies and hooks inspired by ‘60s hits with the Britpop swagger & guitar roar of the ‘90s. Amaunet are heavily inspired by bands such as Oasis, The Beatles, The Stone Roses and Kings of Leon. Their debut EP "Amaunet" involves a mix of chill indie-rock and faster indie- pop, filled with everything from vocals that are equal parts rough, sweet, and soaring to smooth guitar riffs. The EP is perfect for fans of Kings of Leon, The Vaccines, Oasis and Coldplay.

The great story of a great band.By Andy TalbotIf you agree with the latter part of this review title you'll love this.

Adequate -- but mistake- laden, unbalanced, and strangely coldBy TatsuyaWhen I read the fantastic Intro to this book, I thought Spence had at last done what Stone Roses fans wanted -- delivered a scholarly, well-researched and sources-cited, well-written, thorough account of the band's rise and fall. The introduction details the famous Spike Island concert on May 27th, 1990, and does a wonderful job of painting a portrait of it, far better than any descriptions we've yet seen.From there, however, the book declines.

  • Kevin Shields the Buddyhead Interview by Aaron North
    Buddyhead | http://www.buddyhead.com/music/kevinshields/ 19 Jan 2005 Kevin Shields The Buddyhead Interview by Aaron North The Icarus Line got to play with Primal Scream was in New York, and TI have to admit I was slightly disappointed at the time, because Kevin Shields wasn’t performing at the show. The word was that Kevin had to be at his brother’s wedding instead. It definitely added to the myth that I, and many other people as well, had built into our heads that Mr. Shields was some kind of mysterious recluse whose appearances could never be bargained on. The story of Kevin’s band My Bloody Valentine, and their demise, has up to this point sounded closer to folklore than something that happened less than a decade ago. Like a twisted version of the game “telephone”, My Bloody Valentine fans have perpetuated the tallest of tales ranging from master tapes of unreleased albums being set afire, to band reunions in far dark warehouses in Berlin. When The Icarus Line had the opportunity of again opening for Primal Scream, it would be a tour with them across the United Kingdom. When we encountered the band soundchecking on the first day in Glasgow, it occurred to me while I stared at them onstage, that between Kevin’s time in My Bloody Valentine, Mani’s in The Stone Roses, and even Bobby’s stint in The Jesus and Mary Chain, not to mention The Scream themselves, I was witnessing the composers of a good portion of my record collection back home.

  • A University Dissertation on the Impact of the Stone Roses (May 2000)
    A university dissertation on the impact of The Stone Roses (2000) "We don’t bear a grudge against anyone apart from Nick Kent because he’s a liar" : Journalism and the Stone Roses as part of the Manchester music scene from 1985 to July 1990 Nick Kent is a famous rock journalist and he was sent by the Face to interview the Stone Roses in December 1989, and the quotation that opens the title was a response as much to that interview, as a reflection of the Stone Roses trouble-some relationship with the press. The nature of careers and scenes prevents the time period from being arbitrary, but there are reasons for studying this period. For the music press this is a very interesting period, as this table suggests [Toynbee 93] In this is a period 5 magazines started and 2 weekly papers and 1 magazine ceased publishing. The sales figures as well show that fluctuating sales and varying demand for different magazines. The NME itself this was a time of great change. It had 2 different editors with the change from Ian Pye to Alan Lewis in mid-1987, and a fluctuating staff. The period also reflects a varied Stone Roses. Offering a rare opportunity to cover there entire history, Gary Johnson ran a review of their first gig in Sounds [Robb 97]. For most of the period, the band received no press coverage other than occasional single and live reviews. The level of coverage escalated in the last half of 1989, and the period ends with the block coverage of the Spike Island gig, one of the last gigs by the band for four years.

    Nouse Web Archives The Stone Roses: A Never-Ending Odyssey Page 1 of 5 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › News Features Reviews Playlists The Stone Roses: A Never-Ending Odyssey As the seminal Manchester band return with the announcement of new shows and a festival headline slot, Jack Davies examines what the future holds for the legendary four-piece Tuesday 3 November 2015 Source: The Stone Roses Official Website 2nd November 2015. Overnight, across Manchester’s Northern Quarter a sequence of iconic lemon posters have miraculously appeared, a symbol intrinsically linked with The Stone Roses since its appearance on their self-titled debut album in 1989. Cue an internet shitstorm and Twitter meltdown suggesting that the Roses are coming back with a brand new album and a kick-arse world tour to boot. Considering the grandiose nature of the rumours, the fact that the announcement was for only two shows at Manchester’s Etihad Arena and a festival headline spot at T in the Park was somewhat comparable to a Roman candle rocketing into the sky full of promise only to explode into a mediocre splatter of orange sparks. Although, I’m being unfair. This is the Stone Roses. There’s a reason why there was such excitement across the web about them maybe releasing a new album and embarking on a massive tour: they’ve been vital in not only influencing but practically creating half of the indie music that has been released on these fair shores over the past 25 years. Their debut was voted the best British album of all-time in an NME poll in 2006.

  • The Stone Roses Styl
    STYLE GUIDE 2011 The Stone Roses were an English alternative rock band formed in Manchester in 1983. They were one of the pioneering groups of the Madchester movement that was active during the late 1980s and early 1990s. The band’s most successful lineup consisted of vocalist Ian Brown, guitarist John Squire, bassist Gary “Mani” Mounfield, and drummer Alan “Reni” Wren. The band released their début album, The Stone Roses, in 1989. The album was a breakthrough success for the band. Their second album Second Coming was released in 1994. The Stone Roses was released in April 1989, initially to mixed reviews, and entered the UK Albums Chart at number 32 in mid-May, the highest position it would reach that year. This was followed with the single “She Bangs the Drums”, which gave them a top forty UK hit, and a number one on the UK In- dependent Chart, and by that point they were receiving much greater press attention and were selling out shows across the country. Later in 1989 the band released a double A-side single, “Fools Gold/What the World Is Waiting For”, which reached number eight on the UK Singles Chart in November. Originally intended as a B-side, “Fools Gold” quickly became the Roses’ most famous song and a performance of it on Top of the Pops cemented their national fame. It gave them their first top ten hit and the album rose to number nineteen in the chart early the following year. The group won four NME Readers poll awards that year; Band of the Year, Best New Band, Single of the Year (for “Fools Gold”) and Album of the Year (for their debut album).
