New to us - the first track to sample Strawberry Switchblade! Tokyo band Flipper's Guitar were part of the city's late 1980s Shibuya-kei movement of musicians taking an iconoclastic cut and paste approach to making music. 🧵

New Strawberry Switchblade cover just dropped! Japanese duo Neco Asobi have done a perky EDM version of Since Yesterday with a tasty little guitar line that's not in the original.

Remembering Caroline Crawley from Shelleyan Orphan on her birthday.

Members of Shelleyan Orphan and Strawberry Switchblade had flats in the same building, Caroline lived below Jill Bryson.

Here's Caroline with Jill in 1986, modelling for a photography student’s session of symbolism of women being silenced.

On this day in 1982 Strawberry Switchblade had their 1st interview in the music press. Glasgow journo Kirsty McNeill invited them round to hers for a piece published in the New Musical Express. Here's the article (low res, sorry) & another photo from the day 🧵

41 years ago today, 4 Aug 1984, Strawberry Switchblade played a huge free gig in London's Brockwell Park. As far as we know it was the first performance of Since Yesterday, in a much softer guitarry arrangement than the electropop single issued 3 months later🧵

Concluding our week celebrating the anniversary of Strawberry Switchblade's debut single Trees & Flowers, now it's your turn!

As it was the first song Jill Bryson ever wrote, the chords are pretty easy. And you may notice that they're basically the same chords as Who Knows What Love Is so you learn two for the price of one!

We have the guitar chords for all their singles on the fansite

As we mark the anniversary of Strawberry Switchblade's 1983 debut single Trees & Flowers it's worth flipping the record over. The B side, like the A, is a beautiful track that's never been reissued. Listen to the crystalline melancholy beauty of Go Away.
