Firstly, huge thank yous to everyone for coming to Wild Nothing and White Fence this week, two incredible performances, I'm sure you'd agree! This week we've also been inundated with orders for PEEPHOLES' debut album 'The Overspill' too, so again another massive thanks for supporting brilliant music. Tonight at The Lexington we have the one-and-only CHAIN IN THE GANG in town, just 16 tickets left for this one, so act fast if you're interested, THE NUNS and MICKEY GLOSS will both be playing too. Tickets: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/175995
Thanks for bearing with us, three shows in a row can make your head spin! This weekend we have a breather tomorrow and then on Sunday we're taking part in the Independent Label Market for the first time. We'll be selling records from all our back catalogue plus lots of special posters and shirts too at Spitalfields market, alongside Rough Trade, Caught By The River, Soul Jazz, Fortuna Pop and many more. Stop by and say "hello"!

OK, one last thing before we go, and that's to mention our show on Monday for the mighty NAYTRONIX (Nate from Tune-Yards) on Monday at Birthdays. Yes, we've got the ghost of dance punk future visiting with the simply infectious Nate Brenner & Co, primal other-worlders PEEPHOLES and the irrefutable beats/charm of PUNISHMENT too.
Read on for all you need to know…

NAYTRONIX is an evil dance band cloned from the stem cells of multi-instrumentalist Nate Brenner. As the bassist for genre-bending institutions tUnE-yArDs and Beep!, he is not a stranger to voyaging across his great many homelands and spinning platinum out of the resources he trades along the way. Nate's songwriting style is deeply rooted in the traditions of the future, which few alive today know anything about. And while the compositions are geared towards the sinister post-apocalyptic dance colonies that are on the verge of sprouting up around the world, an undeniably timeless funk is woven into the Naytronix hit machine. Fashionable grooves merge with found sounds and homemade instruments to unsettling yet familiar effect, as humans play side-by-side with robots, intertwining in a nefarious tango until you don’t know where veins ends and circuitry begins. Brenner has been called, “The Bootsy Collins of Oakland, California,” where he currently resides. He is a native of the synthetic desert cities of William Onyeabor, the vanguard estates of Charles Mingus, and the family manor of Sly Stone. Naytronix has a brilliant debut album called 'Dirty Glow, available through Plug Research on double 10" now!

PEEPHOLES are Katia Barrett and Nick Carlisle; a synth/drums duo defining their unique sound with both discipline and disorder. Barrett and Carlisle originally from Bahrain and Northern Ireland respectively met in Brighton in 2006 after bonding over a Chinese violin and the quietest of music. They quickly turned the volume up and hit on their winning strategy of soaring, stammering synth lines, primal drumming and low-slung vocals. Treading a tightrope between underground punk and dance music, Peepholes write cloaked anthems as likely to open celestial gates with keys of repetition as to soundtrack a Dark Age future. Their music is otherworldly, aching with wild beats, echoing with cavernous atmospheres. After a series of well-received mini-albums, EPs and some earth-shaking live performances, Peepholes have finally finished their debut album proper for Upset The Rhythm entitled 'The Overspill', out this week!

PUNISHMENT finds WT Statler piloting a mess of late-80s synthesizers through the back catalogs of post-CBGB Suicide (think YB Blue), Yellow Magic Orchestra, and even those electronic Leonard Cohen records into a post-2000s realm of emotional honesty (via text message) and the sort of ringtone-friendly sounds James Ferraro would appreciate.
