A couple of friends started a sort of band a half dozen or so years ago ...well, ..'band'. Ian jumps about alot and Tim produces and stays in the background but they're finally on the verge of breaking properly. And they're lovely. And this is their first proper video. This is also an excuse to ask you to vote for them as it closes tonight and I forgot. It's something young people listen to called radio one and the link is here. Can't see why they would to be involved with such tosspottery but they do so if you have a mo: www.bbc.co.uk/6music/shows/steve-lamacq/features/rebel-playlist/
edit: The day after "A massive thank you for those of you who voted for us on Steve Lamacq's Rebel Playlist, alas we were pipped to the post. Congratulations to Stornoway for their victory. Fingers crossed for next time. "
Yep. Stornoway.

Great video too

Not drugs though. Needs loads of water. Think they did nearly 30 fests this summer in a shitty little car with their flat pack set. Ian does painting stuff as well, some of it right mucky. I think the next vid is an animation using some of his work but not this rudey stuff www.rubicane.com/
very nsfw

A marvellous set packed with old skool jungle beats, and Ian wearing a "Space Dictator/Cyber Spiderman" sort of outfit.
I tried to find footage of it to show my mates, but none seems to exist - thus they think I was tripping balls every time I try to describe it...

But this reminds me of Janelle Monae. Something to do with the rapid delivery & energy in performance.
Anyway. Top stuff, will look out for them.
