Electric Minds Launch / Live Album / Kitsuné Video
November 24th, 2009
Well what a month it’s been – October is the cruellest month (well, after April), especially if you’re in a band. Cruel to the body and mind and liver because you really can’t ever do enough gigs even if you do one every day – there are fields of fresh young students out there all rosy cheeked and waiting to be kissed on the lips.
But it has also been kind to us – we released out second single ‘I Am The Sound’ and our first EP, got our songs on some great compilations and radio shows, played endless gigs, heard ourselves in Topshop (Anna career highlight) and started to feel like we actually exist in the real world outside of the pubs, chippies and betting shops of the New Cross Road.
So what next? Well we’re heading back into the studio this month to start work on what will be our second EP for around March. We’re also heading to Europe in the new year – can’t wait to get out there and practice our GCSE chat up lines and out of date swear words.
But before all this, we’re rounding off the year with a live album recording c/o Boxcars Production at Highbury’s Buffalo Bar on Sunday 29th. Come and make crowd noises and be part of the record.
This week we’re also really excited to be involved in the launch of Electric Minds‘ A Tribute To Arthur Russell tribute album. The record comes on CD (12 tracks) and also sampler 12″ LP (4 tracks). Our cover of Arthur’s Arm Around You appears on both (our first vinyl release!).
You can buy both formats online here: Vinyl / CD
To celebrate, Lovebox and Electric Minds have put on a huge event this Friday 27th November at the Relentless Garage in Highbury, 7pm-4am.
Time Out says: “London festivallers Lovebox and secret disco partystarters Electric Minds team up to launch this tribute (cover) album to the late disco artist Arthur Russell over three rooms. A screening of Matt Wolf’s ‘Wild Combination’ kicks things off, plus a reading with Tim Lawrence from his new Arthur Russell biography, followed by live sets from My Tiger My Timing + Killer Whale and nuff disco DJ sets from the likes of Maurice Fulton, Dolan Bergin, Yam Who?, Faze Action, Hot Blood, Tom Findlay (Groove Armada), Bill Brewster and the Loose crew. You won’t know which room to choose!”
I’ve heard there’s gonna be popcorn too…
Tickets here!
Kitsuné Live Session at MySpace HQ
A few weeks ago we played a stripped-down set at the MySpace offices in London with Crystal Fighters and Chew Lips in support of the new Kitsuné Maison 8 sampler (which we’re all on). Below you can see some excerpts from our performance…
