More DiSsing in Nottingham...

agent blue

Following on from last month's inaugral DiS night which featured the likes of Computerman, redcarsgofaster, From The Shards Of Comets! and Do Me Bad Things, Drowned In Sound is pleased to announce its next two nights in the fair city of Nottingham.

The first one takes place on Friday 27th January in conjunction with the Hot Renault Traffic club (more info HERE) and features:-

AGENT BLUE - "...with enough energy to support a small power station and attitude to sicken even a Frenchman, we can only blink in strobe-lit wonder at what can only be The Best Band From Stoke Ever" (Drowned In Sound)

LOVE ENDS DISASTER! - "Within the year this band will be massive, and we've not been wrong before" (Rough Trade)

THE SCREENING - "...like hearing the coolest song from the 'Pretty In Pink' soundtrack given a 21st Century Midlands makeover" (Drowned In Sound)
MY SPACE HERE

POEM ROCKET - MBV/Stooges/Coachwhips influenced noisepop from the heart of the East Midlands.

And then on Saturday 11th February, we have the following:-

KOMAKINO - "...when you need a good indie-punk-pop tune,Komakino are a band you can rely on 100%" (This Is Fake DIY)

THE PIGEON DETECTIVES - "The Pigeon Detectives have tunes, quite alot of tunes, and when people hear them played live, they bounce around in joy" (Sandman)

THE RADIATOR EXPERTS - "...sounding like Belle And Sebastian offshoot Looper, its cute, tinkly keyboards aplenty" (The Void, Channel 4 teletext)
WEBSITE HERE

THE STRAND ARCADE - "...'Exile On Main Street' meets 'Is This It' on a dark night in Darleydale" (Drowned In Sound)
MY SPACE HERE

    Go go go!

  • ...

    Been following Love ends disaster! for a couple of years now. I have their E.P. ‘Stories for the dislocated’; it's good. Check them out.

    Roger.

  • Didn't

    they get dropped?? I'm from Stoke and there is a real good band shortage. I don't get "baggy" either. The scene here conists of Pete Docherty playin three songs in the underground every fortnight then runnin out with the punters' money...that said I wish agent blue all the luck in the world. I kinda think the buzz around them's gone though. I know label politics delayed the album etc, but it really has been a long time comin.
