If SOIWT was a boy and Slutty Fringe was a girl, SOIWT would act nonchalant for a while, then completely cave in at the school disco and positively beg Slutty Fringe to go out with him.
This is because we share the same hobbies, see. Slutty Fringe is a blog exclusively promoting new music; to further promote it last year they launched a record label, Hot Pockets, and now their launching quarterly compilation CDs (featuring 10-20 of the best new bands and producers they’ve come across) witha little fanzine, and to launch THAT they are starting a night with said acts performing. Both the compilation CDs and the night will be called, imaginatively, NEW!
The first NEW! night is next Saturday, 14 August at 93FE. Slutty Fringe honcho John Power introduces the performing acts thus:
Silver Columns
A synth pop duo who burst onto the scene earlier this year with the Joe Goddard (Hot Chip) produced slice of falsetto genius Browbeaten. Since then they’ve signed to Moshi Moshi.
Kinema
A soulful disco trio from Brighton who’ve been compared to the likes of Phoenix and Hot Chip. Now being tipped for big things with everyone from The Guardian to Dummy.
Danimal Kingdom
Solo project of Dan Murtha – having provided vocals on Kissy Sellout’s debut, he is now making a name for himself with his hotly tipped electro-art-pop.
Supplying the sounds between the bands we have DJs from Moshi Moshi Records and young upstart DJ, promoter and blogger thisaintnodisco. And keeping the beat going all night in the Pink Bar will be in-demand DJs Filthy Dukes, acclaimed production/DJ team Lovers & Gamblers and Slutty Fringe ourselves.
