Miaoux Miaoux is playing a launch night for his new EP 'Blooms', at the 13th Note this coming Tuesday (16th). He'll also being answering a few questions for me very soon, so watch this space.
Cancel The Astronauts
I saw these guys play Kid Canaverals EP launch last year, and I must admit they completely caught me off guard as they were superb. I guess you know a good song when you sing it for the rest of the night (with the wrong words I might add) having only heard it once. Well that's what the lead track of their EP, the 'I Am The President Of Your Fanclub (And Last Night I Followed You Home)'. That evening I bought the EP, corker it is too and now it is available on free download Simply go the bands bandcamp page and get downloading.

Mind them? What you don't? That technically makes you not a hipster, or at least not a hipster back in 2004 when they were all fashionable. Back then they were 12 and 1o, yes my kiddie fiddling readers, 10 and 12. I must admit that I bought into it all, their debut album 'She Like Electric' is fucking superb. I have probably lost any credibility that I once had for saying that, some of you might be thinking about reporting me to the relevant authorities. Trust me it's good. Anyway, they are now all 'grown up' and they have a free download up for grabs. Get there new song ' We are our own lies' for free on their Bandcamp page.
I will put my neck on the line and say that it's good, in fact it's very very fucking good.
