Like most other bands in London, we have migrated south to the seaside for Brighton’s Great Escape. We’re on tonight (Fri) at Ocean Rooms at 8.45, see you there…
Salt? Vinegar? Open or wrapped?
But you pay extra for the little wooden forks these days…

We want to send massive love to Glasgow for showing us a good time at Hinterland and the Pig and Butterfly tearoom for making us feel at home with square sausages and amazing soup. We didn’t feel too homesick though because there were lots of familiar faces in town and we ended up late one night with assorted members of Plugs, Metronomy, thecocknbullkid and MTMT on a dancefloor somewhere in the heart of Glasgow.
The weekend just gone was Turning Point Festival at the Roundhouse in Camden which was surreal daytime fun with a fully grass-covered (indoor) stage and lots of interesting bands to check out, the best being Agaskodo Teliverek, the most euphoric, fun, inspiring half hour you’ll ever spend…
Tonight we’re supporting The Invisible at Cargo in Shoreditch which is cool because we really like them…
And on Friday we’re down in Brighton at The Great Escape (Ocean Rooms), bring your sunblock and your waterproofs…you never know.
We’re currently putting the finishing touches to our next single, we can’t wait for you all to hear it…

We’re really excited to be playing at Glasgow’s Hinterland Festival tomorrow and Friday… Tomorrow we’ll be at The Arches (supporting The Fall) onstage at 7:50pm and Friday we’ll be at the School of Art, onstage 9.50pm (this is a change of time from the printed programme). See you there x
Beautiful weekend in Manchester, shout outs to Blow Out, Chorlton, Leila, Sian and co, Adam (for letting us crash at his) and his mates (for letting us crash their party). Big love!
In Dazed & Confused this week. MOTD here we come…
“…Their debut single, This Is Not The Fire , came out a few days ago, and it sounds distilled, concentrated – it’s electro with its bones showing.” – Dummy Mag interview with Jamie and Anna
“…I went to see Joe Hot Chip’s first post-Little Boots production project, My Tiger My Timing. They’re far from shit and have that same penchant for shuffling glockenspiel that Joe’s boys have made an artform, but pegged to stark, pining girly tunes.” – NME Radar, Jaimie’s Roundup
We went to the BBC 6 Music studios to chat to Nemone yesterday afternoon about Fisher Price musical equipment, The Thompson Twins and our new single. You can get the clip here…

Anna and James will be chatting live to Nemone on BBC 6 Music today at 3pm, tune in on DAB or online…

“…a breathtakingly chic brother-sister combo…crazy synth glocken-spiel-ly noises and kick-ass guitar spins the momentum enough to propel Anna Vincent’s sultry vocals into the stratosphere. Classic. Perfect. Pop.” – Artrocker
“…’This Is Not The Fire’ produced by Andy Spence of New Young Pony Club, is confident enough to abandon disco-punk strictures in favour of something more buoyantly tropical, whilst still packing a chorus that CSS would kill for. Very cute.” – Uncut
“My Tiger My Timing stomp all over the far more seasoned competition……My Tiger My Timing slowly mess with expectations, tinkering with the trappings of 21st century post-punk and altering bits of their sound here and there with such a deft hand that it’s barely noticeable. But it makes all the difference.” – Drowned In Sound
“With lyrics hinting at a disintegrating relationship, the male/female vocals give double meaning to the term ‘dual’ and take this electro-pop gem to an appropriately intense crescendo…coolly detached pop music that expertly blends guitar and synth…easily side-stepping any comparisons with their contemporaries with a staccato delivery that is all their own. This tiger has hit the ground running.” – UK Music Jobs
“…save you from going to overpriced hipster clubs and dancing listlessly to My Tiger My Timing’s debut single ‘This Is Not The Fire’ (Silver Music Machine) . It’s hypnotic clatterpop that packs all the right moves, but probably couldn’t dance to save its life.” – Bearded Magazine
“Forgive that their video is Shirley Manson gone to art school, for they know not what they do. And it was probably quite cheap. They are a new band, after all. In spite of this being oddly laid-back and understated, considering it meant to be an upbeat pop-rock kind of song, it is our favourite one of the week. As Sir Thomas More said of Catherine of Aragon, “[she] thrilled the hearts of everyone.” Ie this is obvs the best.” – The Lipster
“…First up is London’s My Tiger My Timing. I was sent this remix by Django Django of one of their tracks off their forthcoming single which is out on April 6th. It’s one of the catchiest things I’ve heard in a while, so I went to their MySpace page and checked out the original which is even more catchy. I didn’t think that was possible.” – The Sound Of Indie
“…The band is somewhat unique in that they are a live dance band and not an electronic creation…If you are looking for something that will make you move and shake and dance you troubles away, My Tiger My Timing has a beat the will make forget the meaning of the phrase “economic downturn”.” – What To Wear During An Orange Alert
“…Hot new music, which layers vocals within dark, often moody, yet extremely danceable three and a half minute pop songs…The first listen you won’t even know you’ve taken it all in, but later you’ll be itching for a repeat performance.” – Hot New Music Review
We recorded a live set at the Barfly last week for John Kennedy’s XFM Xposure Live and it’ll be broadcast tonight sometime between 10pm and 2am – tune in kids!
Coming atcha from the studio today and tomorrow…recording massive Balearic sounds with Andy Spence, wait for the summer, I Am The Sound!
