Monto Water Rats (30.07.08) Setlist

Phew! Last night was a screamer. I kind of had the easy road for once; two of my fave bands David Ryder Prangley and the Witches and Rubicks were playing, so for once I could choose from nearly my entire record collection as I was playing to folk of my own ilk. As it was [...]

Chromatic splendour

Telepathe’s wonderful split single with Sunni-Geini Chrome’s on it/ SG Main theme is out now on No Pain in Pop and you can buy the 7″ from Pure Groove HERE.
Pure Groove describe the release as;
“trippy, off-kilter freak-pop has a psychadelic intro that sounds like Prince, meaty electro synths that sound like Hot Chip and [...]

Monto Water Rats (23.07.08) Setlist

Suffice it to say though, give this setlist a good scrutinising. It was very [...]

Monto Water Rats (02 et 03.07.08) Setlists

Loads of people dancing and making appreciative noises in the right places for the set.
Both nights ended up being I-N-D-I-E on high. So the post this week is definitive proof
