Black Bikini Alpha- London Town Is Falling Down Acoustic Version
Review of London Town Is Falling Down by Fuse Magazine August 2008- “The London based electro indie rockers have unleashed an absolute gem. A throbbing, pulsating, adrenaline rush that raises the social fallout from the 7/7 attacks on the city. ‘London Town Is Falling Down’ is a thoroughly exhilarating three minutes. Baying synths, growling bass, buzzing guitars and vocals with attitude add up to electro-indie that forces the fledgling genre to grow up and take a closer look at itself. Take the most thrilling moments from early Boy Kill Boy singles, add Klaxons adrenaline and the zeitgeist currently ridden by Does It Offend You, Yeah? and others, throw in a big dollop of London punk delivery and watch as one of the year’s most breathless debuts comes to life.”

Hexadecimal Color Codes
When trying to break up a fight that had erupted in a local pub where “O” used to promote gigs, he wondered for a moment whether there was an easier way to make a living - the response was a resounding NO. Music was the only living that he wanted to make. After a few false starts with a powerpop, thrash punk band he decided he wanted to deliver something more than a 2-chord cynical rant on speed. He met Darren at a local rehearsal studio and they played in various different bands together for the next few years with “O” playing guitar and just doing backing vocals. When their old singer left all of a sudden “O” decided to try his luck at singing. As other band members drifted off, they realised that they functioned better as a two-piece and decided to call it Black Bikini Alpha. BBA are two misfits, brought together over a love of gritty, hard hitting but uplifting music. For them, it’s about the songs and making that important connection with people – on record and live. The songs are inspired by growing up, living and working in London. The themes are wide ranging from, describing post-7/7 tension in ‘London Town is Falling Down’ through to the importance of hope in times of adversity on ‘Reason To Believe’, and down to the late night underworld sleaze of ‘Dance Like A…’. Their song ‘Swag’ was released on a US compilation last month and is now on rotation on Californian Radio. Their anthemic song about sexual experimentation ‘Kicking and Screaming’ was included in the ‘BEST OF 2007’ selection on the BBC6 Music Tom Robinson show. Black Bikini Alpha’s energetic and evocative live show has earned them main support slots with Fun Lovin’Criminals, Reef and Feeder. They also spent a few weeks gigging in New York which was organised by an obsessed fan who turned out to be a schizophrenic. All part and parcel of being in a band! Catch them now before they explode and say you were there at the beginning….

Cheers for the luck-wishing, much appreciated. Fate has been against it so far, but I think we'll have to actually do this gig together soon.
We're going to be putting on some nights in Cardiff in the next month or so, maybe we can sort something out

Hey,


So we've been a bit busy recently promoting our new EP and haven't really had the chance to talk to many of you. Which sucks, cause you guys are the only reason we do this (and so, before we go any further, Thankyou. =])!


So i decided i'd comment like a bazillion of you guys and get back chatting with all of you =], cause that's what we love doing, meeting and talking to all of you =]!


So yeah, how are you =]? What have you been upto recently =]? Drop by our page and give us a comment back, cause it would be great to hear from you!


Big Love,
Hicks
