This Southampton band consists of Megan Thomas, Ken Robshaw, David Miatt and Jim Shivers and their is a whole bag of hype buzzing around them at the moment. Their debut eponymous album came out at the start of month and garnered very positive feedback. Work It! (their 4th single) came out in August and probably is the start of them breaking through to the mainstream.
They are currently on tour with Glasvegas and carry on around the country:
21 September - The Academy, Birmingham,
22 September - Cardiff Barfly (with Glasvegas)
23 September - London Scala (with Glasvegas)
24 September - Seen, Darlington,
25 September - The Cockpit, Leeds,
26 September - The Social, Nottingham,
27 September - Korova, Liverpool,
28 September - The Barfly, Cardiff,
30 September - Portland Arms, Cambridge,
1 October - Hoxton Bar & Grill, London,
4 October - Joshua Brookes, Manchester (In The City),
10 October - Joiner, Southampton,
18 October - The Vault, Winchester (with Art Brut)
25 October - 'BBC Electric Proms' @ The Barfly, Liverpool
Lazy comparisons to the Ting Tings do not do them justice but may get them the success they deserve. Their brand of lively shouty-pop comes as a breath of fresh air and they are destined for great things. They've gained radio and festival exposure over the summer and have momentum on their side.
