Romantic Carnage

I'm fuckin' annoyed with myself right now, since i've just realised that the iLiKETRAiNS gig I was massively looking forward to was in fact last week, and I forgot about it. GAH!!!! What a doughnut!

I was sure it was in September :-(

I did manage to catch some bands at the weekend though... namely The Research and Hot Club de Paris at the Lock Tavern.

I've posted 'Shipwrecked' by Hot Club de Paris already, which has become a storming set closer, and is what I suspect will become something of a breakthrough single for them at some point. In the meanwhile take a listen to their forthcoming new single. It's called 'Everyeveryeverything' and it's out on 25th September. I must admit it didn't grab me on the first go, but give it a few listens and i'm sure you'll succumb to its beguiling charms. I still can't help but compare them to the Futureheads, but i like these guys much more.

HOT CLUB DE PARIS - EVERYEVERYEVERYTHING


I vaguely recall seeing The Research once before, but i'm afraid this will have to remain a vague memory as well. It ended up being a pretty long weekend what with carnival as well. All I can remember is that I love chicks banging drums. And that I still adore this record of theirs I heard last year.



THE RESEARCH - I LOVE YOU, BUT

There's not much to say about it. Except that "It's not that I don't love you, i'm just scared i'll fuck it up" is a sentiment that i'm sure most of us have felt at some point.

Or is it just me?


I'm finding it a bit tricky to post right now as once again I have a case of the dodgy internets. It stays off all evening then suddenly springs to life at about 11:45pm. Unfortunately 'springing to life' is not something that you could ever accuse BT of.
