On April 2nd New Weird Nottingham and Three Cheers present at The Chameleon...

GIRL'S NAMES (Tough Love/Captured Tracks)

'Girls Names are from Belfast. I can see the sense in that. That sound of outlying indiepop not quite from the centre, a Postcard from the margins, as indiepop should be – once was – evoking Orange Juice and K Records and The Go Betweens and everyone else that didn’t care if the world listened, even though it did anyway, and hard.'
TOUGH LOVE.

12" on Captured Tracks in the near future.

LA LA VASQUEZ (Captured Tracks)

'Get on the party train with La La Vasquez. After playing their first show at Upset The Rhythm's Yes Way last year they've run riot in sweaty rooms up (and sometimes down) the UK matching laid-back vocal harmonies with wicked shouts. Now they're moving on from their savage days with a melodic set of fuzzy jams that are a must hear in 2010. Au Pairs, Young Marble Giants, Bikini Kill, K Records. . . whatever, they love that stuff but they're on their own track. 3 Parts girl, 2 Parts beer, 1 Part Cider, all rulin'.

Releases forthcoming on M'lady's, Captured Tracks and Savoury Days
