Bits and bobs

I know what you're thinking - "oh no, not them again!" - but yes more Hot Club de Paris news for everyone. They're opening for fellow Northerners Maximo Park on some of their October tour dates, which is great news. Hot Club de Paris are heading out on their own tour as well in September following a performance at Bestival on the Isle Of Wight. New single 'Everyeveryeverything' (b-side is 'I Quit My Job') is out on September 25th and their debut album comes out on the 2nd of October. I'm not sure whether it's called 'Winners!' or 'Drop It Till It Pops' but no matter, it's almost destined for greatness.

I got an email earlier telling me that Selector [link] is having another live showcase featuring the likes of Guillemots and Yes Boss on September 13th at the Islington Academy, London. Best of all it's free if you email theselector[at]britishcouncil.org and ask for upto four tickets. There's more info in the email so if you want me to forward it to you just leave your email addy in the comments or email me.

Just a quick note to say there are a few posts round the corner, hopefully including a Los Campesinos! interview and a live review of The Sunshine Underground. Goody.
