Chew Lips (Kitsuné)

http://www.www.myspace.com/chewlips

Tigs, Will & James formed CHEW LiPS in london in Spring 2008.

they wrote ten songs in the first rehearsal & played their first gig on may 10th at a new cross house party. they have now done a year’s worth of ‘proper’ shows & can be found playing their 8-bit drone disco / space synth pop at hipster nights in london, paris & beyond.

the first gigs & home demos have earned CHEW LiPS rave reviews, radio play, radio sessions, a place in the bbc electric proms, tours with Howling Bells and The Virgins. just you watch what happens in 2009…

tigs sings & stalks the stage, while will and james wrestle casiotone beats from a drum machine & make a joyful racket on pretty much any instruments they can lay their hands on.

“Their electro-pop racket packs an 8-bit power punch that will have Crystal Castles running for shelter beneath their synths.” Gaurdian
“They’ve been together barely 12 months, but they’ve already got the capital in their pockets and have (in ‘Solo’) produced one of the most exciting singles of the year.” NME

“electronic pop that will get wedged in your brain from first listen” The Fly

With coverage on Radio 1 and Tom Robinson's BBC 6 Music show and a series of lovely supports with the likes of The Pains of Being at Heart, Peter Bjorn and John, The Softpack, Hockey and The Brownies e.t.c already under their belts + Festivals Confirmed for 2010. Boys and girls. Team Modeliste are coming right at you, and they kick like an angry mule.

" One of the most exciting new bands i have heard this year so far. Bar None!" - BBC 6 Music

" These three gents from Halifax are heavily intent on putting the foot to the pedal. And in doing so create some rather splendid Micro-ditties. Like an Alt.Rock Bull stamping through the ring before fleshing out an inspired electronic apocalypse. Spangle up! " - The Fly

" Definite and infectious" - Manchestermusic.co.uk

" This is not just good, It's staggeringly good. Dynamic and dramatic, these songs are masterclasses in sharp, concise pop songs, cut rich with attitude and hi -grade musicianship. This is a no bull-**** thunderous slab of heavy rocking dance goodness - a punch in the face to the tight jeaned indie poseurs" - The Stool Pigeon

With local synth heroes:
**DECAY ENDS A DECADE**
http://www.myspace.com/decayendsadecade

"I was trying to pick out my favourite parts of the song, the bits that get me hooked, but I think it's the combination of everything - the 80's dramatic hard-hitting synth intro to the under-lying Daft Punk-esque robotic vocals... That all placed perfectly throughout the re-visit to your funky heritage, make it an excellently put together and produced song. It'll take your head and your feet back to the 80's glam era. Or at least to the passenger seat of your mums car listening to her 80's cassettes, which was where I spent most of my time in the latter part of the 80's." - Louis Louis Blog
