'Two strong vocals, badass drums and rhythmic breakdowns. 5 out of 5 for musical talent. (Willy Mason)

'Some of their stuff is urgent, groovy indie, some of it is rolling, big, tuneful but angry music, and some of it, creeping, atmospheric, almost soundscapey emotional indie. The singer's voice is really strong and has a lush tendency to go all high halfway through word, which makes something drop in my gut when I listen.' (Marsha Shandur, XFM London)

'If John (Peel) was alive today, I'd be on the phone to him right now about you guys.' (Sparrow Harrison)

Sketches..

coming soon. promise.

Jun 2 2008 7:57 AM

we played in a room full of such fuckin bullshit and so did you guys. its a shame there was only about 5 people watching you, but i think we can all agree those few people had a fucking blast.

WE NEED TO PLAY SHOWS TOGETHER.

you guys blew me away, and which genius made the snare style bass drum stand? that piece of design blew my mind.

THOSE DANCING DAYS

JOHN and JEHN

+ THE RESEARCH



TUESDAY JUNE 3rd @ BRUDENELL SOCIAL CLUB

Tickets: £6 Doors: 7.30pm

Tickets from: Jumbo Records, Crash Records and The Brudenell as well as See Tickets:

http://www.seetickets.com/s.asp?a=those+dancing+days+%2B+support&p=6312

http://www.myspace.com/thosedancingdays


Currently Sweden's hottest export, THOSE DANCING DAYS combine "Sweet as apple-pie pop" with a devilishly sassy Northern Soul and it's this unique combination that has the got the whole of the UK falling over itself and for good reason too!


The subtle dynamics in their songwriting of JOHN and JEHN and the balance between chaos and beauty and the mastery of heartbreaking melodies Expect beautifully skewed hymns in the key of Serge Gainsbourg.

Wakefield's THE RESEARCH are makers of fun, but also write songs that are like punches in the stomach that knock the wind out of you but afterwards you agree that you feel much better for it.

Jun 1 2008 4:43 AM

Yeah, it's shit when that happens. It's a shame though as you were miles better than the rest of the bands that played that stupidly hot room! Anyway, enjoy your weekend too and I'll try and catch you next time you come to Manchester....if MOHO's not put you off for life ;).

WE NOW HAVE TICKETS FOR THE HIDE AND SEEK FESTIVAL! We are playing on Saturday 31st May with "The Underclass" (who have recently supported Twisted Wheel and The Rascals), Stone Halo (who will be working on their next project with the producer of Rage Against The Machine's debut album , Skunk Anansie's "Stoosh" and Red Hot Chili Peppers "Mother's Milk"), and 8 OTHER TOP CLASS ACTS! Tickets are only £5, which for 11 acts is a bargain! If you want one message us back, and we will sort you out with a ticket! We will also be giving away copies of our demo CD "Transmission EP" for FREE WITH ADVANCE TICKETS FOR THIS EVENT ONLY...we usually sell the CD for £3!

If you want tickets posting out get back to us ASAP; last day for posting out the tickets is Wednesday!

We are putting on some mini buses to the Hide and Seek Festival gig in Manchester on 31st May from Durham, cost will be only another £5 per head, so a tenner total, including the ticket! If you are interested please message us again about that asap, as the places are limited. Also if you live anywhere "en route" from Manchester to Durham and are interested please get in touch too, as if there if enough interest from another town, we will get one of the buses to do a pick up..we are going to let those from Teesside have the same opportunity as those from Durham to see us in Manchester if there is enough interest expressed!
