   About Fortuna POP!
The small dictatorship of Fortuna POP! has existed since winning its independence in the Brit-pop wars of the late 1990s. It's major export is the 7" single and the cd album, the sole produce of the country's various tribes, from the unfeasibly tall Butterflies of Love people of the east coast to the small pygmies of the midlands known as The Chemistry Experiment. Often unfairly grouped in the league of twee nations, the peoples of this small country are actually an incredibly diverse bunch, manufacturing everything from sixties pop psychedelia (The Loves) to stop-start riot grrrl shouty pop (Bearsuit), love songs for punk rockers (Milky Wimpshake) to sassy hip-hop sampling girl group pop (Cannonball Jane), mini-pop symphonies (Fanfarlo) to orchestral country (Airport Girl), sophisticated and elegant european art-pop (The Would-Be-Goods) to warm and literate indie (The Lucksmiths), lo-fi american rock (Finlay) to folk-prog-disco (The Chemistry Experiment), punk-soul (Comet Gain) to classic americana (The Butterflies Of Love), perfect pop (Tender Trap) to C86 Spector-ish indie (The Aislers Set) and modern folk (Sodastream).

legends that were mclusky are no more.. cited by those such as the victorian english gentlemens club and untitled musical project as being profound influences.. check out 'lightsabre cocksucking blues' for 2 minutes of heart ripping fun... heart beats. stop.
Future of the Left arise from the ashes, co-joined twins of mclusky and jarcrew, pushing twisting and turns, gurning and uraghhhh pounding, shredding me into pieces... wonderful.... a band that will rise higher than their forebearers... come and experience it with me.
future of the left myspace

support from this ain't vegas and copy haho (note change to poster).

tickets (please buy in advance, the head of steam is a very small venue for this gig) here: direct link click, no booking fee, digital ticket

see you next tuesday, eyes popping wide.
