A band who I only heard of last week but I'm absolutely loving them so much.
Really good, upbeat and melodic music.

Listen to 'Moving To New York' first, very catchy, cool tune. Nice and appropriate too as I'm hopefully moving to New York later this year

Saw them at The Bull & Gate last summer & thought that they were quite good , but would never make it cos I didn't like the name.
Anyway I have a ticket to see them at Carling Academy Islington on Tues 30 th Jan free to anyone who wants it. I have decided to go see Metric instead. |

They are playing The Green Room WGC on 22nd August. Might pop down, but I should get an early night as I'll be up early the next day to go to Reading OBV.

Playing the T Wells forum tonight as a rescheduled gig.
But everyone's gone to bloody Reading so I don't have anyone to go with 
Might still go as a loner though.

I'm really glad they had to reschedule the Cardiff gig. I couldn't go before cos that's my Dad's birthday, but they've moved it 5 days later so I can. What's even better is that my housemates love the album so there's 8 of us going now I think.

Bloody hell they're playing the Royal Albert Hall now too due to over-demand for their Brixton shows!
I was watching them in the Tunbridge Wells Forum only in August, talk about a rapid ascension!
