Hot bands in Cool stores

Two bands, two stores, two free shows. Indie chain Fopp is giving folk in two major cities the chance to catch sets from a couple of the most barked-about bands of the moment in the homely surroundings of their stores.

Danish psychosexual two-piece The Raveonettes bring their rawk to London's Fopp store on 26th July, that's on Earlham Street from 2pm. Presumably to tie in with the fact that brand new studio effort 'Pretty in Black' is release a day previously.

The Stands, Liverpool's melancholic melody-meanderers release their new record 'Horse Fabulous' on 18th July and play in Manchester's Fopp on 26th July at 1pm.

If you have a helicopter, you could watch The Stands, then jet it to London for The Raveonettes, but I doubt you do - so just choose one, eh?

It only just occurred to me after writing this article that The Stands' record is called 'Horse Fabulous'

Awesome.

Re: Hot bands in Cool stores

I didn't like their older stuff, but "love in a trashcan" is a sweet single, haven't heard the rest of the new album.

So, looking at it I suppose I mostly agree with you. But the new album may be really good (i'll have a listen)
