Mark Gardener (Ride) - Chrome Waves / Twisterella Live

Following a screening of Anyone Can Play Guitar - Jon Spira's touching and often humorous documentary chronicling the rise of the Oxford music scene - one of the city's favourite sons, Mark Gardener, took to the stage on Tuesday to perform highlights from a remarkable back catalogue.

Sporting a look that borrowed more from 1930s organised crime than the shoegaze counterculture of yore, the former Ride front-man condensed a career-spanning set into 30 minutes of acoustic indulgence.

Taking time out from current project, Hush Delirium, Gardener was in reflective mood, performing tracks from his 2005 solo album These Beautiful Ghosts, as well as favourites from Nowhere and Carnival of Light. But the highlight of the evening came as Gardener acknowledged the anniversary of 1992's hugely influential Going Blank Again. Now into its 20th year of release, the album marked Ride's commercial (though not universally, critical) zenith, peaking at number 5 in the UK album charts.

Here are two tracks from that very album, performed live: Chrome Waves and Twisterella.

Trespassers William - Vapour Trail

Trespassers William is the brainchild of Matt Brown (guitar/keys) and Anna-Lynn Williams (vocals/guitar). Based in Seattle, the group have three studio albums to their name; Different Stars (2004), Having (2006) and the long-deleted Anchor (1999).

Characterised by an emotive, shimmering sound, their recordings are driven by Williams' absorbing voice and subtle, crafted song-writing.

In 2003, the band released a cover of Ride's majestic 'Vapour Trail', stripping it down and remodelling it into a bewitching, fragile ballad. Taking on such a revered song is a risky move for any artist, but in that one moment, Tresspassers William produced arguably the highlight of their career thus far.

Trespassers William are a highlight of the live circuit and continue to record new material, both as individual artists (Brown records under the pseudonym of Disinterested and Williams as Lotte Kestner) and a group.
