Electrocious Brighton (27.05.08) Setlist

Well I’m back from Brighton and I’m a sniffling shattered mess but it was totally worth it.
The third Electrocious outing in Brighton, although slightly less well attended than our last extravaganza was no less surreal. My highlight of the night being when David from Freudstien decided to strip down to his boxers to introduce a [...]

A [chip] tuneful two

So last Saturday I hiked it back to Reading to catch The Good Natured, Midimidis and We Smoke Fags. For reasons unknown WSFs had to pull out. [Edit: Apparently their van conked out then they had a punch up] Nevermind I was there for the supports anyway;
What stops Midimidis from becoming yet another 8 bit [...]

Stakes and Chip

The glorious Trademark have posted up an un-used track from their 2007 Album Raise The Stakes on their Myspace. But it’s actually very chip tune 2008 in sound. If your loving Hot Chip or Pet Shop Boys, (or Bit shifter for that matter,) you’ll love this up all over the shop.

Spectral Eye Candy

Got back home today to find the new Ladytron Video for Ghosts has been up on YouTube since Saturday. (Does anyone else get weird Karma Police flash backs at the end of this???)

The Marvellous and their Dissection tool

The Marvellous Modernaire start out now with their warm warbley synth sounds and gorgeous vox (that remind me in no small part of early St. Etienne,) on the tour that is in all probability going to properly break them.
They’ll be supporting the Ting Tings accross the UK, catch them at one of these dates [...]

Monto Water Rats (11.05.08) Setlist

Intresting one this. Ridiculously hot night (literally), which got reflected in the set a bit. I played a lot of slower indie based stuff, never really got itself to the electro dance party stage;
Memories – Clinic
Harmonise – Ipso Facto
7 Heures Du Matin – Jacqueline Taieb
Raising Children – The Race
You and Me Song – Delays
The 15th [...]

Boing!

The Horrors are creeping ever closer to a more electro sound. Having already been caught in the act DJ-ing at Mark Moore’s amazing Electrogogo now they’ve gone and given their own brand of dark re-working to Digitalism’s big room anthem Pogo, and, if I’m honest, I prefer it in spades to the original.
It’s four minutes [...]

Monto Water Rats (07.05.08) Setlist

Phew! This one was hot. Pin Me Down were unbelievably good. If they’re album is as strong as their live set we could have the indie/dance cross over hit of 2008 on our hands.

Of course having the place piled high with label staff from Kitsune (home to the lovely PMD,) gave me the excuse (not [...]
