Friends of the Stars at the Moseley Folk Festival

Commercially Inviable had a blast at the 2008 Moseley Folk Festival, we hope you did too.

Thank you to everyone who bought CDs and said nice things.

Here’s a video of Friends of the Stars from their Sunday set. This is a tune from their forthcoming/soon-to-be-recorded/Yeah, whatever new album. It’s called “Foreign Muck”

Friends of the Stars Podcast - Episode 4 - “From Robson To Eternity”

After an 11 month layoff, Friends of the Stars are back in the podcast game and we’re bringing you the newly minted episode 4 before it’s even released via the FOTS site.

This new 41 minute episode follows the same tried and tested format seen in previous episodes. Commercially Inviable Records very own Executive Producer Robson is grilled by a member of the band and asked to offer his thoughts on the world. The results are sometimes informative, often startling and absolutely peppered with industrial language. To break things up there are a few lovely tunes, this time there are songs from both Friends of the Stars and James Summefield.
