The High Society

COWTOWN (Leeds. Chinchilla Records.)
With a practically sold out 7″ on Golden Lab Records, and a totally sold out split 7″ on Bloodloss, Cowtown are about to release an album on Chinchilla-Tone (CD), Golden Lab (Vinyl), Catmobile (extra distribution) and On The Bone (downloads)

Delectable chunks of angular no/new wave noisy pop played by people who clearly know what they’re on about (their other bands include Tigers!, Brown Owl, Beards, G-Fang, The Dragon Rapide, Monster Killed By Laser etc). When people talk about Cowtown songs, they always go ‘I like the one with the Hard Days Night chord at the start, and the one that goes, ‘Deneh! Deneh! Deneh-duh-duh! Deneh! Deneh-duh-duh!’. A sound that touches upon Devo, The Beatles, Deerhoof and Link Wray, this is the juiciest piece of summer fruit you’ll taste all year, even if they have been frozen for consumption in late November..but it’ll come topped with the cream of newly added bonus vocals, from Ste (Pifco). PARTY BAND OF THE CENTURY!

CHOPS
Frewheeling dysfunctional big beat drums! Cosmic keys! Mind controlling tone generators! Limb shaking guitars! Shifted sax! Jazz lounge with uncomfortable sofas! Broken R’n’B! Calypso played naked in the fridge-freezer! Euphoric knees-up! Psychedelic forays into wonk pop! Fresh faced fortune tellers! Tear jerkers! Motivational speakers! One Love revivalists!

Forthcoming releases include a split 12″ on Upset! The Rhythm with someone as yet unknown, and a split DVD with Talibam! on Chinchilla-Tone. Their faces are also seen in popular beat combos such as Quack Quack, I Had An Inkling (EYE HAI), Sense Or This?, etc

I LOVE SARAH
For those who missed ILS last time in Nottingham then you have another chance to redeem yourself. Making an impossible racked for a two-piece, they’re like The Fucking Champs on a bouncy castle. An impossibly fun gaggle of casio, saxophone, drums, guitar and smiles.

Supernight presents…

FRIDAY 28th SEPTEMBER @ The Maze, Mansfield Road

SJ ESAU (Anticon)
His biog reads like a pack of lies - freestyled with Massive Attack, won DMC Rap Battles aged 12, duetted with Lou Barlow… but releases on both Twisted Nerve and now Anticon would seem to back up such outlandish claims.
What is undeniably true is that Sam makes wonderful, warped folk akin to Beck, Animal Collective and Why?
We’ve been trying to book this guy for ages and we finally got him!

MONSTER BOBBY (Hypnote)
Signed to New York’s Hypnote, Bobby writes home-spun romantic tales for the shy indie kid in all of us.
These lo-fi solo recordings are a million miles away from his work with the Pipettes, the all-girl indie pop sensations he is credited with having masterminded. Look out there’s a monster coming!

DOKTOR COCACOLA MCDONALDS
The good Doktor heads to Supernight from Derby via Dublin and the Edinburgh Festival.
He has recently been spotted singing in his pants on Jimmy Carr’s DVD, popping up on BBC 3, penning ballads for Gene Hackman and abusing innocent bystanders with a battered Casio keyboard.

Friday 28th September, 8pm

The Arts Organisation, £5

The questions are being compiled, the frolics are being prepared, mouths are beginning to water - A relaxing night where it’s not who you know, it’s what you know!

Honestly though, if you’re new round these parts this is one of the best nights for meeting other indie music fans. It’s a friendly atmosphere and a night I can’t recommend enough.

Expect glamorous prizes (I hear Simon still cradles his Status Quo vinyl late at night)

Join with the Nottingham readership of the Guardian in celebrating this swedish/argentine indie/folk starlet. You’ll have to bring your own coffee table to sit at. Get down early for London psych-folk dreamboat James Blackshaw!

Those kings among posers, Foals, have secured a popular support band for their date, and it’s on our Alternative Fresher’s Week list!

As if that weren’t enough, we’ll then lead the willing onto a special edition of Radar which should feature a Mystery Jets DJ appearance.

Sam Beam brings his guitar, his beard, and his ambling folk stylings to Rescue Rooms on November 3rd.

No more Postal Service covers, please.
