UPSETTING NEWS

Hello again everyone!
I told you we were busy right? Today we have a free digital single from MUNCH MUNCH available for you here:

Two twist-and-turn masterworks ahead of their trippy 'Double Visions' album out on UTR next month, look out world! We also have two fresh episodes of our ongoing interview series with GRASS WIDOW and ABE VIGODA now live on our blog here:

Thanks to Mr Chintzer for his sustained efforts of awesome. If that wasn't enough, we're closing the week with two shows we've been looking forward to for way too long. Dean from No Age told us a year or so back about GUN OUTFIT for the first time, espousing their greatness to such a degree we checked them out immediately and weren't disappointed, everything returns to Olympia. Gun Outfit make really wild and blurry songs which sound as dreamy as Cocteaus whilst still riding a smart noise punk horse. We've helped them book a UK tour (all shows on our website now) which kick off things in London tomorrow at The Grosvenor along with GUMMY STUMPS, HUMAN HAIR and GROPETOWN all supporting = perfect times!

Our other show this week will turn Friday night into a sweaty dance party and/or puppet show par excellence at The Dome in Tufnell Park. QUINTRON AND MISS PUSSYCAT bring the ultimate party and after playing last for UTR five years ago we've been trying to tempt them back across the pond ever since. No amount of hyperbole can stand if for actually seeing them play live so take heed! OK, I'll leave you with these show details and all future listings below...

GUN OUTFIT
GUMMY STUMPS
HUMAN HAIR
GROPETOWN
Thursday 21 October
The Grosvenor, 17 Sidney Road, Stockwell, SW9 0TP
8pm | 5.00 | http://www.wegottickets.com/event/84224

GUN OUTFIT are from Olympia, Washington. Three-piece rippers that take you back to a time when riffs were weird and hooks were awesome. Honing in on influences from past greats like Meat Puppets and Dinosaur Jr, Gun Outfit create their own sound that is equal parts melody, jangle, punk and pop. On their debut 7" and follow-up album 'Dim Light' - both for PPM - they inspire and twist a sound you wish you had as a teenager. Like a dream you were waiting for. Like a brand new 45 you were wishing for all month, it finally came in the mail, and it is better than you could ever think.

GUMMY STUMPS hail from Glasgow and are spicy Colin on vocals, Rob on guitar and Ruari on drums. Influenced by Silver Apples, Ex Models, Clock, DVA, Wire and 13th Floor Elevators, they make loud, interesting pop music. They have a 7", EP and single out on Narrative / Sorcha Dallas, Watts of Goodwill and La Station Radar.

HUMAN HAIR are a whirl of yelped sloganeering, intricate riffs and lurching repetition that sounds continually new throughout. Evoking The Birthday Party, Pissed Jeans and The Jesus Lizard, yet never directly echoing any of them, they peddle creepy post-punk with a dirty lo-fidelity crackle. Featuring Henry Withers of Lovvers on guitar, their debut, self-titled 7" is out now on Sex Is Disgusting.

GROPETOWN is nothing but noise, thrash and more noise. Coming out of the same Glasgow artschool / post-punk scene as Divorce and Ultimate Thrush (with whom they share a drummer) Gropetown are harsh and immediate. Powerhouse screaming, vague black and white imagery, some notion about art and a whole ton of attitude.

> > > FRIDAY EVENING < < <

QUINTRON & MISS PUSSYCAT
THE NUNS
PRIVATE TROUSERS
Friday 22 October
The Dome, 178 Junction Rd, Tufnell Park (opposite the tube), N19 5QQ
8pm | 6.50 | http://www.wegottickets.com/event/86406

QUINTRON is a very eccentric concert and nightclub organist from New Orleans, Louisiana. He plays music on a custom made Hammond / Rhodes combo synthesizer / organ - which he's got all built up to look like a car with real working headlights - backed by raw simple drum machine beats courtesy of his own patented invention the Drum Buddy. MISS PUSSYCAT plays maracas and sings backup as well as entertaining all age groups with her highly amusing technicolor puppet shows. The Quintron / Miss Pussycat experience is one of barely controlled electronic chaos, small explosions, incredible clothes, and entertaining stories.

THE NUNS are an all-lady six-piece who love The Monks. They love The Monks so much, in fact, that they play the songs of the Amercian GIs turned garage rock pioneers, replete with full habit get up.

PRIVATE TROUSERS are a curious quartet from London who specialise in the heartfelt and downright odd. They mix drums, whistles, vocals, keyboards and ukulele, plus many other instruments baring strings, together into a wondrous cacophany of spooked shanties and wayward post punk. This all provides the perfect landscape for their associative lyrical ponderings on a diverse subject matter taking in William Tell, the bottom of the sea and the voice of God.

Thanks for reading and thanks to everyone who came out to see DEMONS and THE EX this week too. How amazing were NISENNENMONDAI last night?! That epic new track on the keyboard is self-proclaimed "cheese-wave" which sounds gross but I'm already won over, can't wait to see them next Tuesday too at The Nest (the new new Barden's) no less. Have a brilliant Wednesday and we'll see you over the next few days.
Gratitudes forever!
