black affair (ex beta band)
mushi mushi

@ the sage (gateshead)
wed.
Oct 8th - 8pm - £7

i know it short notice but we've just been offered this support slot at the sage. so get along if you can.


Black Affair is Steve Mason (erstwhile betaband frontman). The music he performs and mixes reeks of old school R ‘n’ B, electro, early hip-hop, Chicago house, Detroit techno, even the synth-pop of Kraftwerk, Yazoo, The Human League, Depeche Mode, Soft Cell and New Order.


**** Q Magazine


mushi mushi's machine-gun electronic sound avoids any categorisation, but we'll try anyway: they are the missing link between Client and Devo, between Fugazi and the Chemical Brothers, between Man Or Astroman? and Add N to (X). It really shouldn't work but it does.
go figure!!

Moira Stewart - Sweetness, Yes!
Digipack CD Album
OUT NOW!!!



Buy now from:
Distraction Records

fakeindielabel


Buy 'Sweetness, Yes!' from itunes!

Instantly likable simple pop played with passion and integrity. Happy music.
(Rating: 5/5)

Babysue

My first encounter with Moira Stewart, for their debut album, is a straight shot of joy. This has put one big smile on my face.

Vital Weekly

.

Incurably cute and frisky, once the lids lifted off 'Sweetness, Yes!' its like a summer holiday schools out parade. Bonkers but superb with it.

Losing Today

Here’s an album to put a smile on your face. Sweetness, Yes! is a joyful mix of 80’s synths, indie guitars and quirky sampling.

Buzzin music blog

Album of the week (13th March 2008)
Huw Stephens Radio 1

A joyous carousel of fun and glad tidings.
Skipping around the electro/pop minefield with giddy abandon

The Crack

This hugely impressive debut could teach Hot Chip a lesson in the art of concise, punchy songwriting .

Narc Magazine

we got a crap review from teletext as well.

FIL096: ELKS @ NEWCASTLE ARTS CENTRE - MONDAY 16 JUNE



Described by Hydragenic as 'a subtle, widescreen sountrack for the bitter break-up of a relationship', London's Elks are unclassifiable in their unconventional brilliance, a band always evolving, taking chances and refusing to sit still. Following a successful string of European shows, the band are coming to Newcastle tonight, Monday 16 June. Also on the bill are Spraydog, Italy's Three In One Gentlemans Suit, and The Black Static of Summer. This one is at the Newcastle Arts Centre, entry is £4 and doors are at 8pm.

fakeindielabel. co. uk/fil096 for more info.

------------------------------------

FIL097: THESE UNITED STATES @ HEAD OF STEAM - SUNDAY 22 JUNE



These United States/Vandaveer was one of our favourite shows of the year in 2007, so we're super happy to announce that they're both making a return to The Head of Steam, Newcastle on Sunday 22 June. This Washington DC outfit serve up country-tinged folk sautéed in electronic seasoning; along with artier neighbours Le Loup and Exit Clov, These United States offer melodic and amusing ideas to the post-Fugazi landscape, but they're still tied to thoughtful ones-in this case, mostly protesting heartless romantic antics - Village Voice. A co-promotion with our friends Ex-Libris Records, the bill also features John Egdell and Aaron McMullan. Doors are 8pm and entry is £4.

i am not sure if i have the chance to release one of the feelings that overpowered me just in the moment i thought of faceless people...where are their faces? already in the clouds or lost in the cave of self-destruction? i am searching for a solutionthought inside your music... and the feeling that comes out is soothing...
