Unfortunately Our Secret Sins have had to pull out - but they've got plenty of gigs coming up so make sure you check them out!
LITTLE COMETS + THE SMALL SCREEN LIGHT SHOW
SAT 29 NOV / METROPOLIS / MIDDLESBROUGH EMPIRE
Doors 10.30pm / 18+ / £5
One of the stars of this year's "In The City" music conference in Manchester, hotly tipped North East cheeky chappies Little Comets have already been dubbed as the UK's answer to Vampire Weekend by various portions of the nation's music press and we're reliably informed that it's not going to be long before they've got a record deal to match the buzz. But does the buzz match the tunes!? Too right it does. One listen to hit-in-waiting "Adultery" will have you humming it on the bus before you know it. Two listens to "Adultery" and you'll be singing it in the shower... and you don't even want to know what'll happen after three listens.
Joining Little Comets will be Seaham’s The Small Screen Light Show. Fresh from dates with the likes of The Young Knives, The Rifles and Dananananaykroyd, big things are expected of TSSLS in 2009 and it’s not hard to see why – their infectious brand of boy/grrl indie-rock has already seen them become Steve Lamacq’s unsigned band of the week on Radio 1. Not bad, eh?
What’s even better is that as well as these two rather splendid bands, you get the Metropolis club night too! Rock Box goes weekly again this week too in the new, erm, rock box. Phwoar.
