Londonist favourites Lucky Soul release their new single Lips Are Unhappy today. In contrast to debut single My Brittle Heart’s brilliant kitchen sink melodrama, Lips Are Unhappy is a toe-tapping stomp of a song that can’t fail to have even the most rhythmically-challenged listener shaking …
There’s not a day goes by when we don’t listen to something by The Ramones so we’re not sure if THIS is the best news ever… or the worst: Gabba Gabba Hey!, the world’s first punk rock musical, takes 18 mini-masterpieces of bliss, longing and …
Lucky Soul play their last headline gig for a while tonight. Given that the World Cup match tonight is Mexico v Angola, we highly recommend you go to the gig instead as you’ll get much more excitement and entertainment seeing the band play their sophisticated …
