Thought this was already up here but had a scan and it doesn't seem to be. Liking The Besties...indiepoppers who like Archers of Loaf and the Replacements..sounds like a plan. Spiral Scratch presents: FOSCA (London) ... is bottle-blond besuited songwriter Dickon Edwards with musical cohorts Rachel Stevenson and Kate Dornan. 'Fosca like to make dysfunctional dance music with one hand and coruscating chamber pop with the other. Fosca are Outpatient Pop. Fosca are slinky pseudo-sophisticates. Fosca are stroppy and cute. Fosca are wanted dead by Bald Shouting Men. They kill Fosca's kind for their thick pelts. www.fosca.com www.myspace.com/foscatheband THE BESTIES (Brooklyn, NY) .....are two girls and two boys from Brooklyn, New York City. Think All Girl Summer Fun Band, Talulah Gosh and early Magnetic Fields with splashes of the geniusly awkward Archers of Loaf and the mighty Replacements. thrown in for added allure. Fresh from playing in Scandinavia, this is their first time in the UK. www.myspace.com/thebesties www.thebesties.com A SMILE AND A RIBBON (Sweden) With a penchant for sugary sweet melodies and lovelorn lyrics along with the odd profanity this Swedish duo come across as a naïve mix of early Camera Obscura and all that's good about the current Swedish indiepop scene. Expanding to a five piece for this evening as they steady themselves for an album release on American label Shelflife later in the year. www.myspace.com/asaar THE PARALLELOGRAMS (Sheffield) Join The Parallelograms aboard their twee TARDIS and take a trip back in time to C86 where they will entertain you with classic hardcore indie-pop that will make you smile. www.myspace.com/theparallelograms www.theparallelograms.co.uk For More info: www.myspace.com/spiral_scratch For advance tickets: www.wegottickets.com/event/19272 |

A fantastic gig if you ignore Fosca and an indie tracks reunion all in one. Doing the conga to the Besties who were better than I imagined live was hilarious! |
