Following their ICA show and on their way back from their European dates, THE WEEK THAT WAS swing back through London for a headline at The Metro:
TWTW's self-titled debut, from Field Music's Peter Brewis and his Sunderland compatriots, has been causing a critical whir. Conceptually it is an imagined crime thriller drea...mt up by Peter and inspired by Paul Auster's labyrinthine storytelling, with music paying direct homage to the wildly ambitious Linn Drum and Fairlight experiments of Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel and Tin Drum-era Japan:
"Forward thinking pop for the modern age from Field Music's big brother, Peter Brewis. Don't touch that dial" 4/5 - MOJO

FANFARLO: "Fanfarlo are one of those bands you wish you discovered... Each of their songs is a melodic gem. [...] so luminescent we could almost be fooled into thinking that it's summertime - 4 stars"
The Independent
"From the moment their first song prickles the room, their charm is offensively powerful. What is most c...lear about Fanfarlo, though, is the world that Aurell has built around himself and the uniting, intangible purpose that each song has - they crush every ounce of effort and emotion through the narrowest of pop margins so that its power spurts out in a colourful explosion at every climax" Drowned In Sound
"I've heard four or five of Fanfarlo's songs now, and, like a few of my other favourites, they have that particular knack of being able to create uplifting music that's blessed with a delicious melancholia at the same time. I'm sure you'll be hearing a lot more of Fanfarlo" David Bowie

YES CASSETTE have a sound that is simple and catchy. 4-piece alternative band from the UK who sound like Berlin era Bowie with synths that make you want to dance and pop melodies that belong somewhere between Grandaddy and Talking Heads.
23 FRAMES: from the South-East and London based, the band circuit will shortly be ...releasing their first full-length album "The Mystery Calculator". Signed to Polling Station Productions they play glam rock and call sound "melodramtic popular song". The four-piece are sometimes accompanied by a cello, a viola and violins.
Doors: 7.30pm
Admission: £5 adv
