killing the primary colours

A great gig (if usual terrible sound at the Phoenix theatre).

An amazing new album - turns preconceptions about them on their heads. Every song turns out just the way you want it to. Sounds so new and throwback at the same time.

Oh, Horrors!

A gang of teenage English dandy-goths with Mary Chain hair, and a nice way with the Hammond organ and a spot of feedback. Video director Chris Cunningham (Aphex Twin, Bjork) made his first clip in years for their song "Sheena Is A Parasite". Drawn from many genre threads, with a directly traceable lineage to Screaming Lord Sutch .

Arguable talent but undoubted charisma and a chaotic live show ensure fans and detractors of equal vehemence.

May I suggest for accompaniment Gregory Nicoll's short story, "Dead Air"?
