Details:
Megaphone Theology (B Sides & Rarities)

Release Date: 9th April 2007

Jake Shillingford, founder of cult orchestral alternative band My Life Story releases âMegaphone Theology (B Sides & Rarities)â on 9th April.

The double album spans from 1993 â 2000 and contains over 40 tracks accompanied by extensive sleeve notes from Shillingford. As one of the pioneers of the DIY approach to making and selling music, he releases the album through his own label Exilophone via Shellshock.

A key player during the Britpop years, the 13-piece ensemble was a huge favourite on the live circuit with flamboyant shows and a loyal following. After a 6-year hiatus, Jake reformed the band in 2006 with all thirteen original members to promote a âbest of â album to sell out crowds at the Mean Fiddler in May and the Astoria in December.

âMegaphone Theologyâ is a two cd album set. CD1 entitled âGoing Outâ offers up-tempo glam/new wave influenced stompers while soulful orchestral ballads proffer an invitation to âStay Inâ on CD2.
B-sides sit alongside some previously unreleased material including demo versions of hits such as âItâs a Girl Thingâ and crowd favourites like âIf You Canât Live Without Me Then Why Arenât You Dead Yet?â as well as previously unreleased songs such as âGrieveâ.

MLS were first spotted in 1993 by Giles Martin, (son of Beatles legend George) and offered downtime at his Dadâs studio. The debut single âGirl A, Girl B, Boy Câ was born, a love triangle with a big band soundtrack. All foxy horns and horny foxes, it was released by indie label Mother Tongue and possessed a sassy swing which sounded gloriously out of place in the year of grunge. NME and Melody Maker made it 'Single Of The Week'.

Releasing the debut album âMornington Crescentâ to critical acclaim also on Mother Tongue, MLS toured extensively, headlining over Oasis and supporting Blur and Pulp. In 1996, MLS signed to Parlophone and released their second album âThe Golden Mileâ. All five singles from the album became top forty hits including favourites â12 Reasons Why I Love Herâ, âSparkleâ and âStrumpetâ.
The My Life Story orchestra were in high demand during the Britpop era, with notable appearances on the Morrissey track âInterludeâ, and collaborations with Marc Almond and PJ Proby on the 1996 album Legend. By 1999 Jake felt heâd taken the pop plus orchestra formula to its natural end and MLS tested the water with the spikey and electronic, âIf You Canât Live Without Me Then Why Arenât You Dead Yet?â as the UKâs first ever download only single!

The subsequent album, âJoined up Talkingâ came out in 2000 on IT Records and spawned the bandâs sixth top forty hit âItâs a Girl Thingâ.
