Hop to it...

See what I did there?? you can tell I'm feeling creative today, no wait bored, bored is what I'm feeling today.

Anyway in my former life, years and continents ago, I occasionally wrote reviews and what not for an online music magazine. So the odd letter and promo CD still gets sent to my mum and dad (I like they idea that they are more in touch with the music scene than I am). So I thought I'll put in a mention or two for things of interest that have arrived at my emial doorstep.

First up Shit Disco who may have a name that can't be said on radio (you still can't, can you?? western songs with swearing are played all the time here so I'm not sure arhhh ) but coming from Fierce Panda records I'm more or less trusting their credentials. I positively HATE the term new rave, (does no one remember the horror of Nu metal?? quick side note I recently saw a flyer for a new rave club site, yes the term has even spread over here, saying it went on till dawn; sadly the only band it actually listed was the klaxons so I presume thats going to be a long night) so instead I will say they sound like a scuzzier version of pink grease, their myspace is rather nicely made and apparently they put on at least two shows every night now.. Dates on their myspace page...

Also Death vessel will release their album at the end of April on Sub pop records are touring with the great LOW listening to their myspace page (ohhh so that's what its for, now if someone can please explain facebook) they're sounding a little like the Delgado's (excuse spelling) A little bit sons and Daughters and a lot of blue grass all thrown together.

Both myspace pages have tour details.
