Hello. Please do delete this comment if you so wish.

We're just making sure that everyone knows that our debut album 'Horses For Courses' is available to buy from our little record label's online shop:

http://www.donttellclare.co.uk/shop.htm

Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.

International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.

Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.

Lots of love
Das Wanderlust

WEIRDO GUISE PRESENT...

Wavves
Straight outta California on their first ever tour. You’ll feel like a frisky 19 year at some awesome beach party as their blown-out, catchy as hell pop washes into your ears. Touring as a duo, but really the brainchild of some 22 year old, you’ll find Wavves records out on De Stijl, Tic Tac Totally and Woodsist. There’s some Doo Wop, JAMC, No Age stuff going on here.

Pens
Three young girls outta London, who have a real knack for writing total tunes. On tour with Wavves, they also have an LP coming out the on De Stijl in the US following a sold out tape and 7″. Easily one of the best new UK bands.

Mazes
So the new crop of UK bands are here, fitting with all the killer stuff coming out of America right now and these kids have gone and written some of the best songs of the whole bunch. As well as all that stuff and some Pavement, they’ve also got an ear open to the likes of Swell Maps and Television Personalities. From Manchester, this will be their first show.

Hipshakes
Fastest, trashest band you’ll ever see. From their chaotic live show, you’ll just make out some real snappy pop gems under their tinnitus triggering wall of guitar noise. Just out of their teens and have already released an LP - with a 2nd on the way and 8 7″ singles, one on the Black Lips own label, another on an Oblivians Goner imprint - yeah they’re a Garage Punk band!

SAT 28TH FEB. AT THE FENTON, LEEDS. DOORS 7.30PM. ENTRY IS FIVE POUNDS

Sic Alps - San Fransisco two piece setting the bar for bands doing the modern psych/folk/sloptastic JAMC sound. What sets Sic Alps apart from the rest is their unique ability to mash the rough edge of the folk strum, cutting songs with razor sharp candor, and artfully landing somewhere between flowery optimism and filthy regret. Stylistically, they're are all over the place too, incorporating jazzy freak outs, the sincere tinkering of piano keys, and muddy, down-trodden rhythms.Not easily pinned down into a specific sound or genre, Sic Alps reiterate their freedom of form with each successive release. With a musical pedigree second to none, with both members doing time in such outfits as Coachwhips, Hospitals and Total Shutdown. Already notorious for their exciting and energetic live performances, they've released music on Mt. St. Mtn, 777 was 666, Animal Disguise, Woodsist and Skulltones and their new LP has just been released by Tom Lax's legendary Siltbreeze label. So come on down and experience the madness of Sic Alps.

With supports from Leeds' deranged strum and bash trio THE UPRIGHTS and Sheffield's kings of manic retardo punk THE HIPSHAKES (Black Lips' Die Slaughterhaus label, Goner), this should be a night you won't forget!

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.

UBiK's back for the new year with some new flavours and some old favourites.

February 15th @ Cafe Saki, 2 Wilmslows Rd (at the start of the Curry Mile)

£5 - Doors open at 8pm - first band plays at 9pm - we stay open till you want to leave...DJs Jakes and Fever playing the best of funky wierd...

and the Bands featuring in no particular order:

And. - North East blipster AND. will be gracing us with a display of ragged up electro squawk. mashed up computer game noises to shatter the dance floor and possibly some glasses as well. www.myspace.com/ubiknight

Capulet - youthmovies esque epicscape post-rock, something from the kids in Preston an early tourdate before they get too big. check out their latest recording on motivesounds recordings. www.myspace.com/capuletuk

Charlie's Hero - drifting waves of guitar shimmer building to ball/womb busting crescendos, pie munching never sounded like this before, inspired mechanical grace for the children of god.

Day for Airstrikes - Sam Prekop warm guitar jazz gently nudged along by the more intelligent rhythms of post-rock. a day for airstrikes, and everyone of them hits the mark.

Load. Click. Shoot - post-punk, jumpy shouty pop, guitary goodness. lazily compared to bands like Help She Can't Swim, Art Brut and the punkier edge of New Rave (shudder) L.C.S. come to the stage with thier own agenda, fun fun fun, scream scream scream...now dance! www.myspace.com/ubiknight

And just remember..
