The Rascallies’ catchy kitchen sink spin on love


DANIEL Sullivan (22), who lives in Waddinglon and is studying journalism, spent a week in the newsroom at the Clitheroe Adver­ tiser and Times to gain on-the-job experience. Here is Daniel's article about up-and-coming Clitheroe band The Rascallies.


A BREATH of fresh air is coming to the Ribble Valley live music circuit. Both the British and Ameri­


can music industries are current­ ly saturated by tedious “politi­ cal” moaning, often by artists proclaiming themselves as bet­ ter than Dylan, but unable to write any songs with a meaning deeper than “Bush is a bad man” or “The Tories are a bit silly.” If that grinds your gears, The Rascallies might be the band for you. “There are only four real


types of popular song in this world,” frontman David Jaggs says wryly, “love songs, political songs, meaningless songs and... love songs. There’s not a lot of people who openly admit to lik­ ing love songs, but it’s the most natural emotion in the world, so that’s what we write.”


The Rascallies, however, offer


a very appetising spin on this pop formula, as these songs are in the form of “catchy, folk-pop kitchen sink dramas” and “because there is so much in the world still to love”. “We want to sound genuine,”


he continues, “especially as, say, the Kaiser Chiefs sometimes make me cringe. “I don’t have anything


against them, but you can never tell whether the sentiment in their lyrics is genuine or they’re just obeying what their record label tells them. “When you hear a track like


‘Everything Is Average Nowa­ days’, you think ‘pot, kettle, black?’ However, it’s great to see bands like the Arctic Monkeys going on a night out, coming back 24 hours later, and then getting to Number 1 for telling

it exactly like it is. That inspires us, as well as our local area with its beautiful scenery and atmos­ pheric country pubs.” Formed in 2004 by former

Q u a l i ty D e s ig n ; R e a l is t ic P r ic e s


Clitheroe Royal Grammar School students Jaggs and Graeme Finnie, The Rascallies started out as a chirpy hard rock band whose original name was... totally unsuitable for a family newspaper! Cutting their musi­ cal teeth in local pubs playing Guns ’N’ Roses and Black Sab­ bath won them plenty of fans, but when Finnie moved to Aberdeen in 2006 to complete his medical degree, Jaggs took con­ trol of the band and ushered in their second era; a more melodic, classic British pop aesthetic. “I love chimy indie bands with


warm, summery music like Belle and Sebastian and Teenage Fan- club,” he said, “even though they often have abstract, adult themes - and this allows me to be in my natural element. Indeed, we’re perhaps trying to be a 21st-century Kinks.” That band were feted for their


affectionate portrayal of eccen­ tric British characters, and the Rascallies have given this a murkier modern atmosphere, with their tales of a debt-ridden student prodigy reduced to strip­ ping for money (Little Lucy, What’s Your Problem?), the lure of spending all night playing online poker (Royally Flushed), and his experience of Skins-style parties where everyone appears to have a quaint, civilised time eating jelly babies... which just happen to be injected with industrial-strength vodka. Then there’s the girl who befriends a six-foot furry fish called ‘Bob’... but it’ll all make sense at the gig,


as well as their charmingly bizarre cover of Rihanna’s “Umbrella”. An avid Liverpool FC fan who


has travelled around Europe to watch their Champions League games and even written a song about the cut-throat world of modern football titled “The Beautiful Game”, Jaggs is in serious discussion with the Anfield matchday announcer to have their music played on the Tannoy. With the team searching their


first English championship since 1990, the words “I ’ve been dreaming of Rush and Dalglish, when she asked me what leg it was she wanted to keep” from “Love Is A Contact Sport” will be a fitting inspiration to spur on the team and an audience of 40,000 die-hard fans. The current all-Clitheroe Ras­


callies line-up consists of Jaggs, Ross Kilmister on bass, Richard Nicholson on drums and new arrival Danny Elliott on guitar, trumpet and banjo. The Rascallies are playing free


gigs in Clitheroe twice this week -


tonight (August 16th) at the


Castle pub, starting 8 p.m., and a t the Dog Music and Sports Bar on Sunday (the 19th), at 8- 45 p.m. They plan to release their third EP next month, fol­ lowing Hit The Ground Run­ ning and More Rust Than Metal, both available by visiting their website


at:


www.myspace.com/therascallies. You can also listen to music


clips of The Rascallies on the “Your Music” section of our website: www.clitheroeadvertis- er.co.uk
