Fenech Soler to release Stop And Stare single

Cougar Microbes approved dirty synth peddlers (try saying that quickly) Fenech Soler are back with new single ‘Stop And Stare‘ due out on Moda Music in April. The track is a follow up the excellent ‘Lies‘ single featured on these pages back in November.

The band just played Barcelona and will be hitting Paris later this month, after which its back to exotic Lancaster and Burnley before a blowout in London on the 23rd.

Check out the bands myspace for further dates and check out this cool video for the track.

Tigercity show off their Fake Gold

tigercity“un-ironic lite rock sound ala Hall and Oates and Prince…”

Press releases can be misleading and slightly worrying at times; I read the above statement and imagined padded shoulders, dodgy quiffs and endless Dynasty/Magnum P.I. re-runs.

In actual fact Tigercity are more than your average 80′s tribute band. Yes, their sound is more than a little bit indebted to the golden age of spandex. Then again there is more than a knowing wink to recent indie successes from the likes of the Killers, Passion Pit and Yacht both in production and arrangements.

The Brooklyn outfit’s album ‘Ancient Lover’ has been flirting with my Ipod ever since its release back in November. Fish out your legwarmers. wear your Reebok pumps, apply copious amounts of mascara, temporarily put your Gameboy away and and dance to Tigercity.
