All Flowers in Time is supposedly about new music but I’m an unreliable lazy sort so there will be new music and old music and life and general obsessions.
The title comes from one of my favourite songs, All Flowers in Time by Jeff Buckley and Liz Fraser of the Cocteau Twins.
The header image is from a photo that I took on my last day of sixth form at our ‘Champagne Breakfast’ in May 2007. Sixth form is pretty much responsible for most of my musical taste due to 2 years with some excellent people and attending some rather fabulous gigs and festivals.
My name is Mark Boyd and I’m writing to you to suggest a band for review, so first off, thank you for your time–what follows is our website address and a short bio. All songs on Myspace are downloadable and you can always write us back for more (we have 20+ that we send free to anyone who asks online).

KING TUT
King Tut is a folkpsychtechrock duo based out of Asheville, North Carolina. Mark Boyd (Guitar), formed the band in the summer of 2006 with a different line-up, though Drew Veres (Drums) joined shortly afterward.
After writing a year’s worth of material on Mac laptops using Garageband and Reason, King Tut released their first album “Chopping Wood & Carrying Water” on a upstart label from Boston, Amaro Dolce.
When they play live, Mark uses a looping pedal, building whole songs from scratch on the fly, backed by Drew’s classically trained, powerful jazz drumming. King Tut has consistently been defined as new, fresh, original, uplifting, and exciting.
Alternative Press magazine mysteriously got their hands on a copy of their CD and gave it a 3/5 stars. They recently opened for The Liars on their Radiohead tour. And just a little while ago, they made it into the semi-finals of the BBC’s “Next Big Thing” contest, where they were 1 of 20 bands selected from 2000 entrants from 80 different countries. King Tut currently has plans for 3 new albums (one folk, one electronica, one live) to be released concurrently.
