  1. Some early online reviews of T-T new EP - out on Monday

    Track listings:

    1. This Gun Is Not A Gun

    2. The Day The Earth Stood Still pt 1

    3. In The Dressing Room

    4. This Gun Is Not A Gun (acoustic demo)

    "Both steel and strychnine in equal measure. Both a potent message and radio-friendly quality that doesn't diminish or compromise at any point. Should herald a glittering re-start for its creator's career." (8/10) - DOM GOURLEY, CONTACT MUSIC

    "A songwriter who isn't frightened to stand up. Refreshing openness and honesty in today's trend-led climate. And "In The Dressing Room" is a super-catchy indie romp that employs very clever harmonies and guitar chords, giving it a very cool flavour." - AL HAY, HARDROCK HOUSE

    "A fierce wit mixed with an angry passion and a message that really needs delivering. The real gem here, though, is "In The Dressing Room", a little piece of something truly moving." DANIEL RAWNSLEY

  2. I am no longer going to this. I will be in London.

    Everything clashes with everything on this date. :(

    Thats a shame :down:

    more plaudits for T-T:

    "The finest (and maddest) British pop album of the year. Music so liberatingly, off-centredly, lifeaffirmingly free, it never had moorings to slip. Outstanding. Buy this record." Sunday Times (Top 5 Album of the Year 2001)

    " A seductive, highly contemporary brand of 21st-century English psychedelia." The Telegraph

    "T-T puts the lyrical boot in with righteous wit and scathing laser-sighted accuracy. Listen to Chris T-T, he talks sense." The Fly

    "A wry smile, a white knuckle ride and builds to a blistering climax, Chris T-T mixes a damned compulsive rock cocktail." NME

    "A 21st Century take on The Kinks, covering many musical bases. Yet the resulting collection remains encouragingly coherent. Chris T-T should be heartily saluted." The Big Issue

  3. Doesnt matter what their human rights record was or is, and as much as we can hate giving them the red carpet treatment:

    "Saudi Arabia is the UKs 23rd largest export market, with exports worth 1.676.2bn in 2006. It is the UKs largest trading partner in the Middle East and our second largest export market in the region after the UAE. The UK is Saudi Arabia's second largest foreign investor after the USA." (www.uktradeinvest.gov.uk)

    therefore they are looked after

  4. Anyone else seeing him on this tour?

    Anyone enjoying the new album? Just having my first listen and am quite happy despite the fact it has a song called Gypsy Biker, a grower I'd imagine.

    You ken I have :up:

    In Toronto on Mon15th, here's a clip of Born To Run during the encore, brilliant!

    (not my clip)

    just wish I had heard the new album before the gig as he played half of it.

    Totally amazing gig, E-Street are awesome.

  5. A Skinny Mag review of Edinburgh gig earlier this year......

    The Bongo Club plays host to this Festival of colloquialisms and punchy cynicism tonight as Dumb Instrument snuggle up alongside Mouse Eat Mouse.

    Dumb Instrument, perhaps named so due to the fact that they are without a drummer, are unmistakably of these parts. 'Maw fetch a hammer, there's a fly on the babies heid,' croons the vocalist along to their 12 bar blues. A laid-back affair, the 'Instrument are talented musicians who can easily conjure up something to write home about. The distinct lack of skintight jeans and big hair is initially a shock to the system but once you get over the fact that they are above the age of consent (shock... horror and mortal terror) you will find substance, insight and passion.

    Mouse Eat Mouse equally sound like Rabbie Burns on Mescaline. "Psst," whispers vocalist CD Shade, "Clipe on yer maw." This proves to be the highlight of the night as the band work with fervour and Shade applies an escalating tone and animated posture to his persona. Delivering songs with the strength to single-handedly capture the essence of Orwell's 1984.

    Mouse eat Mouse are frighteningly good.
