MySpace a place for friends

Angular guitar, compulsive bass, seething electronics, forceful vocals coupled with a storming backbeat, Personal Space Invaders are a London three-piece with international blood.

Their current single, ‘Not My Boyfriend’ (out 9th November 2009) has been spun by Nick Grimshaw (BBC Radio 1) and James Theaker (NME Radio). It’s a high-energy post-indie electro-punk track with most obvious influences from Heaven 17, Talking Heads and New Order and the single includes remixes by Jeff Leach and Lethem.

In the last couple of years, P.S.I. have billed with bands like Alabama 3, Simple Kid, Plugs, So So Modern, The Heavy, The Pepys, Olympus Mons, Shapes, Maths Class and Transformer and at venues around the country from Ivory Blacks in Glasgow to The Scala in London. This October, they are playing the BBC Emerging Proms as referred to in The Guardian’s review of Jay-Z’s Roundhouse gig.

Earlier this year, P.S.I. were shortlisted for the Red Stripe Music Awards and got through to the last 10 of the Indie Idle competition run by Gaymers Camden Crawl. Their debut five-song mini-album, What You Want was released in 2007 and is available on iTunes (rated 12/13 on Room Thirteen). The band have also been interviewed on BBC West Midlands and on recently launched Jack TV.
