29.01.10

Isn't January hillarious? It's a non stop fun fest. Really cold, post holiday blues kicking in, money running out, health gone to west. It really is the big horrible Monday to the rest of year. But fear not dear punter, Tuesday is almost here. The Guilty Pleasures massive are already trying on various moustaches in the privacy of their own homes, before unleashing the perfect Freddie Mercury out fit on the dance floor of guilty dreams this Saturday. Guilty Pleasures on a Saturday night, the only place to be when you need to forget what month it is. Lose and then find yourself here.

Now where did I put that half a mic stand?

PLUGS PLAY CLUB NME

Plugs are the band you have been waiting for, you just didn't realize it. Yup, the whole time you been going to see other bands and thinking on the way home, "that was good but something was missing" Plugs have been honing their craft in a no doubt damp rehearsal room that smells of old cats, just so you can go home thinking "that was the band I have been waiting for and I didn't even realize it."

Plugs also have the best list of influences on their myspace we think we have ever seen, get some of their effortless cool to rub off on you here.

For more details go here.


SUNSHINE UNDERGROUND

If Sunshine Underground were from New York City, you would of been force fed their every move until you finally found yourself queuing to see them at the O2 death star. If Sunshine Underground took a quick look at their myspace they would see that over million people have played their tunes...maybe it doesn't matter where you from after all. The good news they still writing huge tunes with chorus's bigger than mountains.

PLAID TO PLAY SOUNDCRASH

Plaid have always been a bit special, they may even be extraterrestial, would certainly explain how they are able to keep coming up with the kind futuristic techno jazz, that sounds like it could only have been made by thirty Stephen Hawkins and a very clever robot.

Chew Lips Chew Lips
Chew Lips Chew Lips

Chew Lips are every where, and especially here, last Friday, so you will now have the chance to say six months later when you and a lot of other people are straining to catch a glimpse of them at a festival, oh I really did prefer their early stuff.
