OK, so it's not exactly an invasion. They're just going over there to play some gigs - but they'll be whoring their new single over here first...

Out on June 13th through Angular Records, said single is commonly known as 'Appropriation (By Any Other Name)' but will also answer to 'Albert'*. You'll doubtless be able to get your hands on a copy at the gigs listed below. In the interests of adding a bit of variety to proceedings, they're also appearing on Mark Riley's Rocket Science show on BBC 6 at 1pm on June 4th.

And then: to America! to see if they can tame the Supersized, Freedom Fries-chomping beast. If they fail, the UK may well break off diplomatic relations and press the UN to instigate trade sanctions. You heard it here first...

JUNE
1st, Leeds Warehouse a Club NME night with Neil’s Children
3rd, Liverpool University a Club NME night with Neil’s Children
6th, Sheffield Ice Rink Mayfair Suite single launch with Chips For The Poor, The Sugars and Kid Acne
9th, Darlington The Forum a Club Strut night with Snow White
10th, London Plastic People
11th, London Nambuccas -single launch with Good Shoes
16th London Instore @ Pure Groove, Holloway Road 6:30pm
16th London On The Rocks with The Sugars (tbc)

the takeover is beginning...

they'll either disappear in a blaze of failed hype or own the world next year.

on the quality of their songs i would say they should own the world. the trouble is they want to record an album of completely new songs, none of the singles or songs from their live set. record companies are unsurprisingly none too keen on this idea. so i worry people will loose interest before they manage to release an album.

is the band who supported Sleater Kinney at the barfly?
I thought they were really average...very much like alot of those twee teen bands from the 90's but without any of the magic ,say, Kenickie or even Vyvyan had. Can you download any of their tracks, as i'd be interested to hear them recorded if all above have good stuff to say....

Re: Long Blondes tour UK, appear on radio, do US

Yeah, that was them. You can download from their website - www.thelongblondes.co.uk and from www.filthylittleangels.com (.co.uk?). I'd give em a listen, if I were you - it took me a few turns but now I'm in love. Right up there with Kenickie, no question.

Kenickie!??!? I think you should listen again to The Long Blondes, I wouldn't be so rash as to compare them to Kenickie, of all bands! That'd put me right off if I hadn't already fallen in love with them.

Re: Long Blondes tour UK, appear on radio, do US

Kenickie were quite good.
But the Long Blondes sound nothing like them !

Up and coming

This band have alot of style and their music's great. They'll be one of the success stories of 2006.


good shoes?!!

B-E-L-L- E-N-D-S-!-!
