This lo-fi popband was formed in the beginning of 1998, named after the Flemish
poet Hugues C. Pernath (see picture) That sounds more realistic than the theory
that they're called after the village of Ternat, whilst being lost on a trip through
Brabant.
The band has two members: Wim Lecluyse (guitar+vocals) and
Karel Geldhof (drums and vocals) They both play(ed) in lots of bands: Lepra, Circle
brothers, Dissidence... Their sound is often compared to Guided By voices, Folk
Implosion, Daniël Johnston, Dinosaur Jr. and Swearing at Motorists. Lo-fi, sans
quoi.
They released heir debut tape in March. 2000 It is a split tape
with Richie Cunningham (UK). It is the first tape in the ' soup versus potatoes'-series.
They also appear on the CD 'card-carrying supporters of romance' with an exclusive
track called Elnik. The Japanes label Galaxy train released the compilation galaxy
summer, which also features a pernath track.
And then, it came a bit
quiet: Karel moved to spain, Wim moved to holland. Still, the band put out a split
single with the amazing Bingo trappers, mongrell and wio, probably the best lofi
acts from belgium and holland. yes, you know you want it.... The split single
with Fields of Gaffney (new band of sebadoh-founder Eric Gaffney) was released
in february 2004 - two new pernath gems, two amazing fields of gaffney tracks.
| | Fields
of Gaffney / Pernath: "split single"
7 " ep - released
february 2004
four new songs bringing the lofi-era back to life. Fields
of gaffney is the new band of Eric gaffney, co-founder of sebadoh. though his
releases over the past ten years have been very rare, he has lost nothing of his
songwriting talents: these songs can easily stand the comparison with the songs
he wrote for the critically acclaimed albums 'III' and 'bubble and scrape'. this
is his first single since his contribution to sub pop's singles club in 2000.
Two new Pernath-hits as well. songs about mad cows and saying goodbye in
spanish - for fans of swearing at motorists. a welcome follow-up to their split
single with bingo trappers,wio and mongrell
