I saw them last night at Metros and engaged in drinking games with them for a couple of hours. Anyway, anyone like them? They are ultra pop/80s/electro, reminds me or a duet between Duran Duran and Blondie. And they look so godam good too. They're playing the Underworld on the 22nd, people should check them out, they've just been signed too :)

Re: The Modern!
80's electro was great, these are not. Just terrible hair spray 80's-fetish wank, it's a travesty they've been signed but I'm not surpised. They're just about everything that's wrong with music at the moment, too much fetishing of the past, looking back and rehashing while adding nothing new to the sound. It only hinders music as a whole, it's why the 00's are so directionless.
So yeah, they're bollocks. Sorry for the rant.
