The Sewing Room – Why Did You Sleep With Me Rope For So Long?

With scarcely a sale to their name the Sewing Room threw in their colourfully embroidered towel in 1998. They certainly came from good stock with members having spent their formative years in Hey Paulette and the Stars of Heaven. ‘Why Did You Sleep With Me For So Long’ is taken from the ‘Drugfree’ EP and richly delves into Velvet Underground territory, the words are particularly bitter and may stir up pent up memories for some. ‘Rope’ has a more alluring melodic form with a triumphant set of jangling guitars and a vocal performance that just exudes character and quite unusually for this melancholic band a sliver of genuine hope. The Sewing Room were signed to Dead Elvis Records, who also put out the aforementioned Dublin band In Motion. KD
