Dunno if you already saw it, but another ridiculously generous review of SOUVARIS SOUVARIS SOUVARIS, courtesy of Mr Tommy Dski, is at Pocket Jury: http://pocketjury.net/albums2011/. Thanks Tommy, the cheque's in the post!
Also check out the wholly accurate words about Kogumaza; an amazing band that we just so happen to be looking forward to sharing a stage with on Friday at The End Of This Band: http://www.nottinghamcontemporary.org/event/souvaris#content
Obligatory Facebook event here: http://www.facebook.com/events/294835213891238/
We've also done a final interview with Pawl Kalashnikov which should appear in next month's Left Lion. Think of it as a final eulogy. We can't promise that it will be any more enlightening than Dick Venom's...
Oh, and if you think this is all we've done recently you're wrong. We just got back from playing our principle Roadie Thing One's wedding, helped out by special guests Eleanor Lee and Christopher Baldwin. Spot the ex-Souvarian on Kerry King-besting guitar solo duties:

THE END: One week to go
Bloody hell. In 8 days' time this band will not exist. It's hard to process.
We heard that some people were getting charged a fiver a ticket when they bought in advance from certain outlets. This has now rectified... if you did get charged a fiver, let us know and we'll ensure you're refunded your pound at the door on Friday.
We've been in touch with various friends and families as we make plans to HAVE A GODDAMNED PARTY on Friday night. It's going to be messy and we look forward to joining you at the heart of it. Personally, I can't wait to see Kogumaza busting out some new material and Gareth Hardwick playing something so new and secret that he can't tell me any details about it! Oh, and seeing YOU there.
See you in a few days.

AN ANNOUNCEMENT: The end is nigh. No, really.
Greetings,
As the final hours of 2011 trickle by and the (Gregorian calendar-reading) world's attention turns to 20 and the 12, so the members of Souvaris also turn our attentions to new things. We're sorry to say that from Saturday 18th February 2012, this band will cease to exist.
We're extremely proud of what we have achieved with SOUVARIS - SOUVARIS SOUVARIS. It's the culmination of over 2 years of work (including a few self-inflicted delays, admittedly) and quite honestly we don't know where to go from here. Our lives are now in such different places to where we began and our energies are diverted into other avenues to the point where it is difficult to get us all in one place, let alone in a position to make more music. So we've decided to stop.
Now into its twelfth year, we never for a moment imagined that this band would come to dominate more than a decade of our lives, playing hundreds (just about) of shows around the UK and Europe, sharing stages with some of our favourite bands and meeting too many of the loveliest people imaginable who we are now proud to call friends. Looking back across the years stretching back to the late months of 2000, we have innumerable fond memories to look back on and share as stories whenever we see each other.
)
This goes back to include our two former (and founder) members Mike Beevor and David Moult, both of whom are both still dear friends and brothers in arms. The seven of us actually managed to get ourselves into the same room for the first time in memory - twice in the space of a fortnight! - to celebrate the marriages of David S and Simmo in the summer of 2011. Look! Here's a picture, taken by our esteemed friend Romain Didier of Crëvecoeur and Jean-Elliot Senior:
So what do we do now? Well, first we have to persuade you to buy SOUVARIS - SOUVARIS SOUVARIS so that Matt Gringo makes back some of the cash he spunked on getting it pressed. All our relatives got predictably red CD-shaped presents this year. Why didn't yours? BUY BUY BUY. It's our legacy. Our swansong. One last bow. Etc. You get the picture.
The second thing we decided to do was to at least do one last hurrah; or rather ONE LAST GIG before we call time on things. We're still planning various things to put a special evening together for anyone who decides to come, but you can rest assured that it probably won't be like the KLF. Full details will be forthcoming, but we have booked THE SPACE at Nottingham Contemporary for Friday 17th February as the air-infused vacuum in which we will perform our final show. So put the date in your diary, or just add this Facebook event to it: http://www.facebook.com/events/294835213891238/. There'll be more soon.
Lovingly,
SVRS

FINALLY RELEASED: Souvaris Souvaris Souvaris Souvaris Souvaris Souvaris Souvaris...
Hey ho chaps and chapettes,
Some obligatory HUGE THANKS to Emma and the lovely blokes from Dear Thief/Gung Ho and Doig and the dudes at Power Lunches for having us at a super-special, super-sweaty London gig the other weekend. We had a hugely enjoyable time playing and seeing lots of faces old and new. If you came out; we salute you.
But now, to business, for this week finally marks the official release of SOUVARIS - SOUVARIS SOUVARIS. Some of these songs took literally months to write, and we first started working on recording the whole thing over 2 years ago and only just managed to finish it this summer, so it's extremely gratifying to have it released by our great friends and still hugely vital Nottingham-loving label Gringo Records. Similarly, in these times of massive cutbacks, record labels and distros dying on their arses and shops going tits-up, it's extremely kind of Cargo to take on a record as uncommercial as ours and stick a few copies in local record shops... if you're lucky enough to live near any that still exist, we implore you to go out and support it by buying AS MANY COPIES AS YOU CAN.
You mean you haven't heard it yet? Well my dear, here are some thingummies from Bandcamp and Soundcloud:
Latest tracks by souvaris
And if that sonic onslaught didn't persuade you, we received one of the most well-considered and thoughtful of our venerable 11 years courtesy of the generous Tommy Dski at Pocket Jury:
"Somewhere between [NEU!75 and Can's "Landed"] is the wonderful Souvaris, an amalgamation of the inventiveness of early krautrock with western pop music, creating something of a unique art-rock sound. The surging crescendos favoured by many post-rock bands are still there but the sense of dynamics is far more varied, with many moods covered over the forty minute duration... one of the great British treasures at the absolute peak of their considerable power."
I think we all genuinely blushed when we read this review - so many thanks to Tommy.
Now what are you waiting for? It's the perfect Christmas present! Buy one for yourself! Buy one for your other half! Heck, buy our Gringo's entire stock so we can stop owing Matt so much money as well as all the good karma he's passed our way over the last few years! BUY! BUY! BUY!

EUROPEAN TOUR 2010
Hi all,
Thanks to everyone who came out for our tenth birthday! We had an excellent time and really, really enjoyed ourselves. Thanks too to Ed Wood Jr and Fresh Eyes for the Dead Guy, both of whom threatened to blow us off the stage, and to all of you who indulged in munching cake, stomping on balloons and letting off pathetically weak party poppers. Left Lion have written a very kind review of the night here.
But now! We are about to depart these shores for some excitement (and 2,000-odd miles) in the continent, visiting France, Belgium, Switzerland and Germany:
SOUVARIS EUROPEAN JAUNT NO.4
Sunday 31 October | Arrive home for for a nice cup of tea
As you can see, we have a couple of days off due to impending shows having to be cancelled. If you live anywhere near where we're likely to be (between Zurich and Lyon, and Bordeaux and Le Havre), and fancy having a sweaty sextet of young Englishmen take you out for a beer/play your front porch/crash on your sofa, please get in touch! Currently we're planning on investigating vinyards and avoiding getting caught up in riots. Fun! Email: ichbinsimmo@gmail.com.
To soundtrack this momentous occasion, our fourth (and most ambitious) European tour, we have prepared a load of mixtapes to soundtrack our glorious travels/counter terminal boredom encountered by spending 50% of each day in a smelly van. Here's a random slice of goodness for you - it's not very representative of our collective tastes (we argue about music all the time - it's one of the reasons we've stayed together), but more of what my (David's) aural receptors have been getting off on in recent weeks. Named in honour of a random pronouncement by Nick of Chameleon infamy, we present you with...
"Just Get Me A... Mermaid" - A Souvaris Mixtape
1. Leftfield feat. Afrika Bambaataa - Africa Shox
2. Sir Lord Baltimore - Master Heartache
3. Disco Inferno - It's a Kid's World
4. The Para-monts - I Don't Want To Lose You
5. Grouper - Heavy Water/I'd Rather Be Sleeping
6. W. John Ondolo - Tumshukuru Mungu
7. Tsegue-Maryam Guebrou - Mother's Love
8. Gavin Bryars - Raising the Titanic (Big Drum Mix)
9. PJ Harvey - The Whores Hustle and the Hustlers Whore
10. Harvey Milk - I Do No Know How To Live My Life
11. Speed, Glue & Shinki - Mr Walking Drugstore Man
12. Shorty - Coopie and Me
13. Daft Punk - Around the World
14. The Jesus Lizard - Boilermaker
15. Pumice - Pumiceraft
16. Mike Hanapi's Ilima Islanders - Hilo Hula
Enjoy!

SOUVARIS IS: TEN
Woot woot and word up.
In exactly one week's time we will have finished blowing sound down your earholes at the distinctly impressive Nottingham Contemporary - look, there's even a proper webpage and poster and everything here: http://www.nottinghamcontemporary.org/event/music-exchange-present-souvaris.
Then you might have noticed that we're heading off for our holidays in late October, stopping off in Belgium, France, Germany and Switzerland for some quality shows (and Luxembourg for some cheap petrol, no doubt). But what are we going to do inbetween?
Oh yeah, it's only our MOTHERFLIPPING TENTH BIRTHDAY.
Yeesh, we've been pissing away our spare time, money and hearing on this shit for a decade now. Just think what much more productive things we could have done in the meantime. So what are we going to do to celebrate? Well, throw a fucking cool party, of course! We've invited some pals to play, and, heck, we'll even make some noise ourselves (and probably a load of different songs to the Contemporary gig). Simmo and Helene have been fantastic enough actual humans to organise a swanky Saturday night out for you all:
That's Saturday 16th October, at Chameleon, Nottingham.SOUVARIS (Gringo, UK)
ED WOOD JR (Lille, FR)
FRESH EYES FOR THE DEAD GUY
...STOP EJECT
£5 / DOORS 8.30pm
Clique Clack is delighted to invite you to a warm-up show for Souvaris' upcoming European tour. In the spirit of international exchange, Ed Wood Jr from Lille, France will be representing the froggy side of the Entente Cordiale. Add a couple of local rock behemoths to the proceedings in the form of Fresh Eyes For The Dead Guy and Stop Eject, and you have yourselves quite in evening indeed! Mmmmmm.
Full details at http://www.facebook.com/?sk=events#!/event.php?eid=153931577958482
See you there! Bring cake. It's gonna get messy.

October 2010 Excitement: EUROPEAN TOUR 2010
Ho!
For the fourth time, the lumbering post-rock behemoth known only as "Souvaris" (apart from that time we were billed as "The Savouries", but let's not get into that one...) will plant all four paws firmly onto the continent and belt around Western European for a series of concerts across a few of our favourite places. Here's where we're orf to for our October holidays:

FLOODIT 3: Saturday 26th September 2009
WASTEYOURSELF & GRINGO RECORDS PRESENTS
Floodit - An evening of live music & screen printing at The Art Organisation with
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Live Music from:
PART CHIMP - http://www.myspace.com/partchimp
Back in Nottingham for the first time in over two years, in support of their new album, "Thriller". My Bloody Valentine and Dinosaur Jr play loud but their tunes have never really had the heaviness to match their mammoth volume. Part Chimp, however, match their cacophonous sound levels with the weightiest rock imaginable. Their records are released by Rock Action Records (founded and maintained by Scottish post-rock band Mogwai).
SOUVARIS - http://www.myspace.com/souvaris
Souvaris are a 5 piece rock band from Nottingham, UK, comprising of two guitarists, bass, synths and drums. Now nine years old, the band has spent the best part of a decade building their reputation as one of the UK’s most inventive and versatile acts. This autumn will see a new split release with Bordeaux’s excellent art-rockers Sincabeza on Gringo Records. Having played countless shows with bands ranging from Do Make Say Think to Polar Bear, The Shipping News to Thee More Shallows, Fly Pan Am to old friends Explosions in the Sky, Souvaris deliver a live show that is as entertaining as it is subtle, as direct as it is layered.
BAD GUYS - http://www.myspace.com/badguysfuckingrock
BAD GUYS played their first gig at ATP curated by The Melvins and Mike Patton. Neither knew BAD GUYS were gonna play but they did it anyway. You ever seen someone crowdsurf in a living room? BAD GUYS have. You ever seen Jared from The Melvins force his way through your window to get to your gig? BAD GUYS have. You ever trashed a place so bad it needs to be rebuilt from scratch? BAD GUYS have.

Punk trio knocking out snarling garage punk which'll make your nuts swing taking in influences like Die Kreuzen, Make-Up, The Mummies and the Bad Form.
