SSS W/ 4or5 magicans @ the fly...a busy week

We’re playing tonight at the fly in new oxford street with 4or5 magicians, along with live like lions. I’m looking forward to hearing both as I’ve heard good things. For any last minute additions to the guest list email ben@livelikelions

Anyway, we’ve been well busy this last week. On Wednesday we played in Worcester with the alarmingly good between us and the fire. Be sure to keep an eye for them if they come your way as they are well worth it. After this we were meant to have a show on Thursday but unfortunately that had to be postponed. This meant we had a somewhat tedious time in the van having to go all the way up and back in one day for the gig but Graham and I passed the time blasting Les Savy Fav tracks and air drumming to the blood brothers. Then on Friday we played an amazing party with of our friends Shock defeat, kleinzite (spelling?) and man-flu (who despite their atrocious name were incredible). I have to say my favourite were kleinzite and can’t wait to see them play their next show. Sound like whitest boy alive with the most effortlessly amazing tech drums you ever did hear.

Then the next day Graham, myself, and bobby of telegramme fame indulged in a gentleman’s pub crawl of east London’s finest pubs where along the way we bumped into our friends in portasound, televised crimewave and kasms.

It’s been a very full week.

Portasound - Press Red For Burt Bacharach

I was at a warehouse party in hackney wick this halloween which our very good fríends portasound were playing. It was one of the best parties I´ve been to in an age, while portasound were absolutely amazing. they were literally 1mm from blowing the speakers throughout most the set but fuck that.

As if to celebrate their qualiy their new track is available for free download on nme.com today. And it is literally amazing.

Get inspired on a Friday

So what are SoSaySo loving at the moment. Well lots of things and these are just some of them:

Lu Flux
I used to live with the lovely Lu Flux who is an ethical designer extraodinaire. She works only with salvaged, vintage or organic fabrics, using traditional methods such as knitting, pleating or patchwork to design incredibly beautiful bespoke pieces. Fashion week has gone swimmingly for Lu so congratulations to her.

Just look at these:



Alex Turvey
To say our old friend Alex Turvey is destined for great things is doing him a diservice, as he basically already doing them. An incredibly talented designer/director he has made music videos for the likes of Bright Eyes, Grizzly Bear, MSTRKRFT among many others, and continues to do design for basically everyone. But more importantly perhaps, he is like myself a Welsh/Greek Cypriot and everyone knows that's the best combination of races you could possibly have.


Portasound
This wonderfully weird electro outfit are a joyous combination of so many different genres from tropical to carnival to pop to dance. and they're amazing! Hailing from Bow E3 via Crystal Palace our former neighbours are a firm favourite of Huw Stephens and are playing lots in the next couple of months, including some dates in Italy.


Their next gig is at Cargo on Friday 9 October supporting Bent. It is impossible not to have a good time when you see them and I thoroughly recommend that you do.


That's probably enough for you all for now to get inspired on for a friday. More soon, but in the meantime we continue to be humbled by the wonderfully positive feedback from everyone following our show on Monday. We have a number of great shows coming up, the next one being at the Hoxton Bar and Grill on the 8th October. We hope to see as many of you possible down there.

Don't forget to check out the new website as well as follow us on facebook or twitter.

Much love

May 21st

Almost two weeks without a post - I assume this to be a long time in the blogosphere (blogasphere?).

So updates:

We're now on twitter. A website I'm still in the process of loathing, though I'm sure I'll come round. Follow us to receive up 160 characters worth of eloquential literary joy.

As mentioned in a previous post we're not playing live for a bit as we continue to work on new songs...but when we do come back we're playing with the brilliant Hjaltalin at the Borderline on the 21st of May. Tickets are £9 on the door - but only £5 on our cheap list.

And in other news:

I caught up with Haunted Stereo the other day at their show in Kilburn. They are actually my favourite band in the world at the moment and their new stuff is sounding brilliant - dark and sexy but still vibrant and organic. They're playing in Putney at the Half-moon tomorrow. Also playing tomorrow are our good friends Portasound at the Victoria which I think I'll be venturing to. Oh - and of course the brilliant The Good Gods are playing Cargo tonight for Attitude Is Everything which I'll also be going to

Finally - I've been watching a lot of this show recently. Now I don't have a television so I don't know basically anything about whats on these days, but I think its safe to assume that this is probably the best thing on it.
