Late Of The Pier, Best In Class alternate edit!


I found this alternate edit of the Late Of The Pier "Best In Class" video while trawling the internet for new music!!

This edit (Directed by Steve Glashier and Sam Potter) is made from the footage shot on the day of the main filming and is for the cast and crew. The official video includes footage shot by Sam Potter on a previous shoot.

This version has a different feel, its in a higher resolution thankfully and is it me or is it vaguely more erotic? A friend insists that the girl who is miming to the song all the way through is actually one of Late Of The Pier made up really well to look like a girl? Its not true but he's an idiot! Great casting!! I found the video from this site.

Glasser, UK tour dates!!


So.. Glasser who I blogged about on 2nd February is releasing Tremel as a 12" on Young Turks. Its out on the 29th March in the UK. With a bunch of remixes. But proceeding that she's touring here! First there's a gig with Is Tropical on the 4th March, then five dates supporting The XX!!

There is/was so little info about this artist that I never thought she would be hitting up this country!

Thomas White, The Last Blast.

Thomas Whites album The Maximalist is out in March, all stonking Who vibes and warm fuzzadelia, crazy ass drums and in a wondefully indie way the phrase "concept album" without it seeming wrong!
His first single off the album (the video of which I helped out on) is called
The Last Blast and is up for free download from his site.
Album excitement for sure!!

I was there to see him play an amazing set at The Prince Albert in Brighton on the 12th Feb.
The Myspace is full of more info and will let you know about any more upcoming gigs. (As of posting there are none announced in the pipeline!)

Please skip through the annoying embedded advert. I think the button for which is in the top right corner.

Bird Eats Baby, new video!!


Brightons very own, very brilliant Bird Eats Baby have a new self made video out!

Big sonic feelings of 70s greats, Hunky Dory era Bowie, early Queen etc. The same way that Muse get that element in there but doing it in a totally different way.

Sinister anthemic cabaret built for a far bigger stage than they yet occupy. But as this is a band very much doing it themselves and creating amazing things with a big on-line, constantly updated, DIY presence its only a matter of time before it will cost an arm and a leg to get into one of their shows!

Their next gig is an acoustic set at The Hope on the 8th April.

Liebeharts, New Unary Poem EP.


Liebeharts is a project by ex My Name Is Red singer Chris Liebe-Hart.

This is a big sound, a vocal lead emotional electro pop experience, 80s snare and squelching bass throbs, angst on the dancefloor but enough of a beat to keep you more than dancing! Dark shoegaze electro discoballs!

He has an EP of his track "New Unary Poem" out on 22nd February, on City Wall Records, which has three more than okay remixes in the prog house mood accompanying it. Although the single itself is more than enough to get you on the dancefloor.

Punters, check him out and promoters, put him on!
