Broken Shackle Tabernacle

We're playing The Broken Shackle Tabernacle in Famp at the end of the month.

The Associates 'Skipping'

A friend of Angi's turned us on to this which has blown my mind!

OBIIIITTS!!!

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who came down to the Obits, Tropics and of course Fists gig last night at The Chameleon. Tropics and Obits kicked my face off (metaphorically). Can't wait to see them again next week in Bristol (we're sharing the bill with them at the Thekla on October 12th, if anyone in Bristol would like adding to the cheap guest list then send us a message and we'll put you on) Also wanted to say thanks to Damn You! for their help with getting the word out about this gig. It would have been half as full without their efforts. Also thanks to Hello Thor for letting us piggyback on their mailing list again and finally a big thanks to Alex (and friend) from High Soc for covering the door for us all night long.

We owe you one.

PS - Check out this little piece of film I took of Obits playing 'Two Headed Coin'. The guitar solo at the 2:00 mark is face ripping. Sorry I didn't get the whole song.

OBITS + TROPICS + FISTS @ The Chameleon (Oct 5th)

OBITS - Hail from NYC and feature a couple of true indie rock veterans in Rick Froberg (formerly of Hot Snakes and Drive Like Jehu) and Sohrab Habibion (formerly of Washington D.C. indie greats Edsel). Their early 2008 shows caused ripples of excitement and speculation around the indie rock communities stateside which culminated in a frenzy of bootlegging and blogging. This year finally saw the release of debut record 'I Blame You' which is out now on Sub Pop Records.

Sound wise OBITS are pure, white hot, valve-amp rock that draws straight from the heart of original proto-rock n roll luminary Link Wray but with obvious nods to the hardcore scenes that Froberg and Habibion came from.

TROPICS - Also a new band composed of veteran indie rockers but this time from the UK scene. Featuring members of the shortlived but critically loved Meet me in St Louis and Jodie Cox from UK hardcore veterans Bullet Union. Enough said really.

FISTS - A tumbledown fusion of country twang, soft-psyche pop harmony and noisy fuzz tone.

Glastonbury

A week after being there I'm still trying to re-live the bands we saw, and catch up on bands we missed by looking at footage on the bbc site: http://www.bbc.co.uk/glastonbury/2009/lineup/

Thank the lord we saw these though http://www.bbc.co.uk/glastonbury/2009/artists/nickcaveandthebadseeds/ felt like a privilege to be there.
