"Its no wonder Isoscles have been tipped as The Next Big Thing." - The Guardian.
* SPORTSDAY MEGAPHONE has been likened to Sonic Youth and getting lost in the Casio section of Toys R' Us;
"This dinky, lovely bedroom pop, is indie at its very best" – The Guardian
* ENVELOPES are a French/ Swedish 5 piece. They are now touring their second, highly anticipated and critically acclaimed album 'Here Comes The Wind':
"It may be too early to crown the top release of 2008, but Envelopes already sound like strong contenders on their charming, cheeky, tune-packed second" - Uncut.
"Occasionally, a record comes along and hits you right between the sex glands. This is that record….a rubber band of skewed post-punk pop genius" – Artrocker
AMPBOX is primarily a club night; but when the chance came to have Envelopes play Edinburgh an exception had to be made. Don't miss them play an intimate venue with such amazing support.

Not at Henry's but that's where some of us will be, and thought it might be of some relevance around here (well, at least to folk who are into garage / beat / psychedelic stuff)...
