Live Puce rock with a heady cocktail of originals and covers. There is one CD currently available of Puce Songs. Ticket to Trumpet Town is on ..
Ticket was a bouncy affair including several of the live favorites. 2009 should see the release of the difficult second album provisionally titled aslikeasnot. This will be a more diverse set including nursery rhymes, sea shanties and ghosts.

This takes place this Thursday! See you there? d.x.
Distraction presents Kania Tieffer, a otter-fixated Chick On Speed cacking out pleasantly disturbed lo-fi fake nonsense r'n'b and vitriolic electropop with cheap children's keyboards, a battered old computer and an electric guitar, in an unmissable live show. Support comes from sample stealing, tune pinching, melody wrecking a-moral wrong-uns and kings of nostalgia-core Radgepackets, and pointlessly hostile bootmash-noisewhore-wrongtronica idiot Dressed In Wires! Cor!
Only 4 quid in, kick-off at 8pm, find out more here!
Look! Its some spam! Hope yer doing good, take it easy. . . d.x.
The Retail Sectors new 8" square vinyl lathe in handmade packaging with download code. "They're everyone's (or should be) favourite Japanese post rock band", according to Norman Records.
Combining a Steve Reich-sense of guitar-driven melodic elements with an abstract, almost Trans-Am like dexterity, each song builds in intricacy and volume until the immaculate devastation of the drums kick in, taking off on a flight into a vast sky of loneliness. STRICTLY LIMITED TO 150 COPIES! Half have already went via pre-order, so if you want one, order now!

After a veriable famine in the North East music 'scene' where the musically adventurous and artistically driven have been forsaken in favour of the safe, the tame and the bland, Distraction present three days of aural innovation, future players, and diverse sonic excursions that right those very wrongs.
The Distraction Weekender returns. Accept no imitations.
