Ladies & Gentlemen, Boys & Girls, This is SDF. What’s that sound you hear? It’s SpaceDisco ElectroFolk EuroGlam PowerPop - so turn it up. ////////// SDF spread PartySexHotMusic, & spread it thick like cement - performing at City Hall's, Showground's, Discotheque's, Castle tower's and recently the Sage Gateshead headlining Sound 08. SDF will play for you. Just try them. //////// One day the world will know. The party is just beginning & I think you know they’re serious... ///////////////ANECDOTE- SDF once sacked their manager for firing the whole band, renaning them "Keane Unlimited" & replacing them all with a German MC. //////// UPDATE 06/04/08 - Lucy recovering from nasty early hours jogging accident. Ilton's uber hot electronix improv Ep "The Rats Rain Down" has been released by muscular Soviet web label Clinical Archives. Ben has sent us some good mint tea. He is shovelling muck & unendingly weeding Strawberries. SDF have nearly finished some song recordings including "Dancefloor Baby" a big slice of gyrating pop melancholia in the key of Sex. Its only taken 6 Months. "Thrill Seeking Missile", though, was written in 10 seconds & it's homing in on you... They're pottering around - preparing themselves, as the rubbish mounts outside & the recycling becomes homes for the rodents. Are you ready? Have you taken your shirt off yet?
Thankyou for visiting,
love
SDF

Either follow the links above or search "Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire" on iTunes. The song has been played recently by Steve Lamacq on Radio 1 & Tom Robinson on BBC 6 Music.
"Produced by ¡Forward, Russia!'s Tom Woodhead, debut single A Fire Born In Dallas (released on the Pay For The Piano imprint) finds post-hardcore and prog influences welded together to create a sound that is both vulnerable and self-assured. Admittedly, the usual influences of Fugazi and At The Drive-In are worn pretty obviously, but the band are far more than mere copyists.
Ever Since The Lake Caught Fire, it would seem, have more than enough firepower in their sonic arsenal to kick some of the music world's feted young pretenders into touch. " The Metro
