We're going all electro on your ass this month, so shake out your sequined romper suits, don some tribal warpaint, drink a quart of rum and get ready to pull shapes for our fantastic line up:
GROVESNOR
www.myspace.com/grovesnormusic
Rob Smoughton (ex-drummer of Hot Chip) on "Electro Riddim Machine, splanky guitar makes "beautifully fragrant, sleek electro-soul music".
Melodysynth"
"The whole thing sounding like Barry White grappling on a waterbed with Brian Eno. Ace '70s soul meets super-fast Gameboy jazz'n'bass that defies classification." Paul Lester, The Guardian
STRICKEN CITY
www.myspace.com/strickencity
"Adventures Close to Home's band is fronted by Rebekah Rah. This London four-piece make a bold stand for intelligent, left-of-centre guitar pop, and they do it with brilliant style. Bringing to mind bits of Kate Bush and early Siouxsie, Rah is a sight to behold as she leads her band in crafting a noise that bodes of incredibly promising things to come. This is a band to watch." DrownedinSound.com
HEMME FATALE
www.myspace.com/hemmefatale
"Tuneful home-made electronica featuring Aled from Kids In Glass Houses. Quirky lyrics and multiple vocalists lend it an intriguing air. Anything that mentions watching Stargate in your room, or a backroom of the club where the floor lights up, warrants a further listen. " www.new-noise.net

Bring your chums, your lovers, the girl next door, the boy from the train, your cheeky younger brother for laughter and high jinx.
It's the end of the month, it's Saturday, Come out to Play, It By Ear.
Best new band in Glasgow, by a mile!
...Any more snooker cliches?
...Second track sounds like a more snarly mid-60s Who. Excellent.
...First one sounds like Sean Ryder having a flashback but second track is a killer.
...once you've drunk a bottle of Maker's Mark in Copehagen?
...The more I watch it, the more I like it.
...Sex on Fire is good once you've drunk a bottle of Maker's Mark in Copenhagen
