About White Heat
White Heat runs 8 - 3am. The bands are usually on from 8 -
10:30 (first band 8:30, second 9:15, headline 10:00. Sometimes it
runs a bit later than that. Tickets for all shows are available from
Ticketweb and on the door of White Heat on the night. Prices are usually
£5 advance, £6 on the door but for big shows this sometimes

If you're coming down for the club then the best way of getting straight

bands finish and some people go home. THe club costs £5 or £4
with a flyer or £3 with an email (sign up for the mailinglist

Here we go Magic + My Tiger My Timing + Gallops
Tonight starts off in Math-Dance territory, slides into a more electro, synth-pop world and then finally spills into a band that supported Grizzly Bear and are equally as beautiful while, in parts at least, a little more danceable.
Say Pitchfork (7.4): “Temple’s delicately high-pitched voice– situated him firmly in the realm of borderline-precious indie folkies like Sufjan Stevens and Danielson, Here We Go Magic works with a different form of alchemy. Four-tracked and supposedly cut in “a two-month period of stream-of-consciousness recording,” the album filters Temple’s psychedelic muse through a much more muted palette: hazy electronic textures, endlessly-spiraling lyrical loops, occasional forays into extended sections of ambience and noise”.

DJing Ed Banger Party
Looking like this is going to be fun. We're right on the bottom of the bill there. They asked us* - they said 'do you guys want to be at the top of the bill on the poster or the bottom' and we said 'Bottom as small as you can make it please'. And they did.
*That's not really how it happened. |

Delphic + Housse De Racket + Oh Minnows
Delphic keep getting compared (positively) with New Order. Which is
a nice thing. Housse De Racket are French and quite a bit dancey. Oh Minnows are the other half of the sadly seperated by oceans Semifinalists and friends and all fit together very snugly and will make for a beautiful evening of guitars to which you can dance...

Young Athletes League + Sound of Arrows + Guests
Sound of Arrows are over from Sweden (where they're on
the rather wonderful Larbrador Records). They say "even though Enya, Vangelis and Tangerine Dream are our biggest inspirations at the moment, we will not end up using any humback whales on the album. Promise". They're pretty hot right now and this is a pretty good early opportunity to come see them.

Ungdomskulen + Dutch Uncles + Hypertext
Some kind of Norwegian slacker-prog monster unleashed here. I'm not
one for quoting Pitchfork word for word but "I'm not crazy
about reprinting sentences from press releases word for word, but this
one about Norwegian hard rockers Ungdomskulen is too good: "They
rise like a phoenix from the ashes, literally, the ashes of their rehearsal
space, which burnt down a month prior to their booked studio time, and
took all of their instruments with it." These guys bring it with
such force their entire shit went up in flames, people! What more do
you want?" Here's
something about Dutch Uncles "Dutch Uncles are, in a word,
ace. Their music is laden with deadly hooks and quirky choruses, all
packed into a sound that’s both artfully intelligent and enjoyably
poppy." - Chris Long.

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart + Trailer Trash Tracy's
Some very exciting new bands for you here, from America TPoBPaH make
some lo-fi twee while from the UK TTT's are also Lo Fi but perhaps a
bit more lush or something? Quoth those friends of ours over at Transparent
:"...a strange flowering freak-pop fantasia that sees ELIZABETH
FRASER‘s most oil spilt, sea swimming nightmares eternally looping
in glorious, grainy technicolor and I kind of want to wade into the
middle of it."

Jeremy Jay + Planet Earth + Ark People
To simply rip off the biog on the K Records site would be both lazy
and very, very easy. So here it is:
Jeremy Jay is a mixture of a storyteller, artist and singer. Following
a series of 7" singles, he released his debut LP, A Place Where
We Could Go on K in Spring 2008. Currently, he splits his time between
living in Paris and Los Angeles, the dream cities of the French New
Wave and Hollywood. Similar to films, Jeremy identifies with the visual
stories of life and love, and touches on everything human; he is always
in the process of writing and recording, playing the guitar and taking
walks to new places. Jeremy is getting acquainted to living in Paris,
but still draws much of his inspiration from American artists like Andy
Warhol and iconic teen filmmaker John Hughes.
Planet earth are a tiny bit more local, really rather delicate and Lo
Fi, very good and connected to Young and Lost who we like very much.
Ark People will be gracing our stage for the second time and this quote
made me laugh and isn't completely inaccurate: "Sort of a mix
of Beirut and Interpol, the pair produce a grandiose version of the
dark pop that current next-big-thingers White Lies are riding the wave
of, but without the Killers comparisons." Yep. No Killers
comparisons here. Thank. God.
