'CECILE' - OUT TOMORROW..AAAAHHH!

Hey Hey Hey....

We had such a great night at 93Feet East the other night. A big big thank you to all who came down. We were very surprised at the large crowd who boshed on down to see us.

So...tomorrow is the day our debut single is set upon the world. We hope to have the itunes links up in the next 24 hours so we hope you can head online to download it tomorrow. We thank you in advance for your support.

To keep you amused here is a little feature we had on the Sugar Magazine website.

Clock Opera @ Scandalism

In the lead up to our single launch on the 5th we were lucky enough to be invited to play the Starsmith single launch at Queen of Hoxton last night (Saturday 23rd October).

I wanted to give a big shout out to Clock Opera for their set. For me they are easily the best live band of this year and I can't wait to hear the album when it comes out next year.

For those of you who haven't kept your ear to the rail tracks to hear them coming, check this...

Fun House

Nostalgia is a beautiful thing. However some things should be left in the memory bank and not hunted down on Youtube... Pat Sharp was spotted going into our local WHSmith, hence the search for this beauty..


FREE GIG -THURSDAY 9th SEPTEMBER @ HOXTON PONY

Evening All,

For those of you who are walking the streets of East London this Thursday looking for a decent night out, join us for a free gig at Hoxton Pony.

THURSDAY 9th SEPTEMBER @ HOXTON PONY

We've also been told beer is 'proper cheap' and so what more could a music loving punter want from a Thursday night out! Right, that's enough pub plugging for one day. We hope to see you Thursday.

October Tour With Little Comets

It's been a while since we last blogged. Quite some time. However we decided now that we have something to talk about we'll start getting off our behinds and document the journey. Sod it, we might even do a Sky Sports and go all HD and become Freeviewist!

We are very excited to announce that Little Comets have invited us on tour with them for a few days in October. We had a great gig with them earlier in the year in Newcastle and they've invited us to follow them around the UK next month. We can't wait for this little trip so we hope you can come down to see us in one of these places:

Thursday 7th October – Bodega, Nottingham
Friday 8th October – Haymakers, Cambridge
Saturday 9th October – Sugarmill, Stoke
Sunday 10th October – Arts Institute, Cardiff

So here is our video of the day. Little Comets - Isles.

TABLOID TOYS - November 25th @ The Fly.

Following up from our first party at The Fly, we are back with more musical friends this month for some more great music and partying, here are the details below:

4 OR 5 MAGICIANS

"Brighton five-piece 4 or 5 Magicians are more exciting than the prospect of Paul Daniels actually fulfilling his long-running promise to leave the country under a Labour regime.
With lyrics so slick they make Alex Turner sound like a spluttering old colonel struggling with a cream bun and equal parts lo-fi bedroom fuzz and glorious art-pop melody (think Supergrass meets Shellac) we're struggling to think of one solitary loser who won't like this band. They're going to be the new Manic Street Preachers, but with less tights and guy-liner" NME
WWW.MYSPACE.COM/4OR5MAGICIANS

SOSAYSO

With the diversity of popular music at an all time low it´s the bands that don´t follow the same formula that really stick out.
While SoSaySo take their song writing cues from pop greats, mixing intriguing verses with irresistible choruses, it’s the multilayered orchestration between synth, violin, guitar and vocals that creates their evocative, euphoric, sometimes raucous, brand of `epic-pop´ so engaging and so different from their contemporaries.

LIVE LIKE LIONS

Climbing out of their North London lair for another bout of Electro Pop madness. The 3 feline friends aim to bring you some exciting new material and new dance off moves this month as well as taking over the decks to play some of their favourite tunes from their cassette Walkman!
WWW.MYSPACE.COM/LIVELIKELIONSBAND

Tickets in advance £4
On The Door £6

Finest Fish & Chips In The North...


As boys from Devon, we know our Fish & Chips. Squires in Braunton easily the best.
However we did want to share this amusing find when we were touring the North East last week.

The Codfather in York. Genius!

Keep it Lion Shaped,

Ben, Sam & Jay x

Lion Music

There has been some debate over what music a Lion would listen to if it had the choice.

Sam 'Lions aren't into electro, more 80s easy listening like Sade or Deacan Blue.'

Ben 'Elton John would be the choice, following his work with them on that well know film.'

Jay 'They wouldn't like to be pigeonholed like that, Crowded House would be their choice, they might even be Bowie fans."

Any other thoughts? Send us a note.

New Blog - New Track


Afternoon All.
It was about time we got stuck into writing a band blog. We've been putting it off for some time.
To mark the rise of the Live Like Lions blog, we have uploaded a new track on the space for you all to enjoy.
It features Eliza Newman with beautiful backing vocals. We urge you to check her out as well, her stuff is a treat on the ear.
Right, off to Bugged Out 15th Party so time to put the dancing shoes on. x
