side by side in perfect harmony

We played the flowerpot last night. it was ace! Loads more people turned up than we were expecting and we had a really fun show. Sadly emmy couldn't make it down to dj so Euan (aka younghusband) who plays in emmy's band did instead. and while it's true i may have turned his laptop off by accident at one point, causing the room to be dropped into silence, he pretty damn good.

But look what i found today



Amazing! clearly this had to be purchased.

Anyhow - as mentioned we're playing the underworld next Tuesday. You can get tickets here but they're going quick so get them soon.

SSS@the flowerpot, the underworld and other january dates

We're playing the flowerpot tomorrow in Kentish town and it's free. We should be on stage around 9 and our good friend emmy the great is djing throughout the evening. Come down and say merry christmas and happy new year and help us celebrate what has been a long and exciting year.


Next Tuesday 15 December we're playing the Camden Underworld with Dogs so if you can't make it tomorrow then come down to that. It's been a while since I last went to the underworld. It was to see bullet union who were incredible if anyone remembers them.

And then in the new year we're getting lots of exciting things lined up so check this space. The next two immediate dates are at the hamptons in southampton on the 16th for a gig curated by our friend's haunted stereo (and the venue is only 30 mins from my mum's house). And then we're back to london on the 18th for a gig at the luminaire which is always great to play.



Also - I'm not sure if i mentioned but I saw nathan fake play and he rearranged my brain it was so good.

See you tomorrow.

The Fly...The New Wine

We played the Fly the other night with 4or5 magicians and live like lions. It was an ace gig and ridiculously hot. there was roughly about 700 lights pointed at our faces on stage and it got to the point were i got topless. graham got topless. people were shouting for caroline to go topless. people were shouting for me to put my top back on. it was all very exciting.



And yesterday graham and I went and saw The New Wine play at the 229. My fucking lord they were good. Firstly they're amazing, secondly they're flawless musicans, thirdly they're from norway so they''re well cool and well hot, and fourth they're amazing. They're total bergen talented good time vibe music in the style of whitest boy alive and kukkmuthafucka. and on another note bergen is amazing.

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.

Last Night...

We played catch in shoreditch last night and it was bloody ace time! we'd made a few changes to the set and had reworked a few songs and the result really paid off.

It was without question one of my favourite gigs we;'ve ever done, I think there was some unamity on this fact as we discussed over it excellent vietnamese food after the show.

I didn't get much of a chance to listen to the other bands but there seemed to be a lot of promise in what I heard of demontre (and not The Demon Tree as Jeion thought they were called, and which is incidentally an excellent name for a metal band)



And on this spooky note anyone at a loss this weekend there's an ace halloween party in hackney wick with music coming from both Portasound.

Our next show is in Worcester at the Firefly for the lovely people at the task in hand.
