the NCM room	May 30 2008 10:41 AM NCM.... 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. http://www.myspace.com/johnjehn 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. www.myspace.com/thresearch

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..
