Children For Breakfast are extremely excited to be back in the game. To celebrate this we're heading back to one of our favourite venues with one of our favourite bands from the ever-impressive Jagjaguwar stable.
Parts and Labour will play The Harley on Sunday the 22nd May as one of only 5 UK dates. The tour is in support of the Brooklyn trio's latest opus Constant Future produced by Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips, Sleater-Kinney), which will be released March 7 on CD/LP/Digital formats. They're offering the title track as a free MP3, listen to that http://www.scjag.com/mp3/jag/constantfuture.mp3. The band are also streaming a new song from the album each week on their revamped http://www.partsandlabor.net/.

Constant Future is the career-defining statement from Brooklyn-based noise-pop trio Parts & Labor. The album's 12 tracks deliver the bare essentials that made them sui generis totems of modern art-punk: synthesized keyboard riffs distorted into oblivion, percussion pummeled hypnotically, crackling drones that haunt and soothe, fearless melodies hollered skyward. Their last release, 2008's acclaimed Receivers, saw Parts & Labor blasting off in all directions and creating collage art from hundreds of fan-curated samples. But fifth album Constant Future finds them crashing back to earth, focusing pointedly on what they do best: unique, electronic landscapes melded with buzzing, anthemic hooks. Parts & Labor have distilled the lessons and experiences of nearly 10 years as a band into a catchy, blown-out masterwork.
Maximalist engineer Dave Fridmann (Flaming Lips, Mogwai, Sleater-Kinney, MGMT) co-produced and mixed the album with P&L at his Tarbox Road Studios in Casadega, NY. A band already known for their dense, futuristic sound was ultimately transformed into something massive, beaming, downright nuclear. The album is the product of two years of vigorous writing and demoing which resulted in more than 40 songs. For the actual recording, Parts & Labor settled in a former boxing ring in Milwaukee to track the record themselves, with drummer Joe Wong leading the charge.
Over Constant Future's 39 minutes, vocalists Dan Friel and BJ Warshaw steadfastly chronicle several whirlwind years of growth, taking lyrical cues from the artful work of their musical heroes (Sonic Youth, Lungfish, Fugazi, Wire). The pair weave tales of teeth-baring city-scapes ("Fake Names", "Echo Chamber"), the anxiety of death ("Rest", "Never Changer") and the horrifying pitfalls of our nascent century ("Outnumbered", "Skin And Bones"). But, as their sunny refrains would imply, there's always a glimmer of hope, acceptance and love buried just beneath Parts & Labor's paranoid surface ("Without A Seed", "Hurricane", "A Thousand Roads").
"They're still stubbornly reconstructing punk anthems from the same raw parts, but building something bigger, from stronger foundations" Pitchfork
"[Receivers] is often euphoric, and this feeling is one which washes over you from the opening astral-electro exchanges and rarely relents until well after you've steadied your head from the delirious 44 minute sonic barrage of incessantly noisy power-pop" Drowned In Sound
"Increasingly accomplished and accessible songcraft" The Wire
/// Teeth Of The Sea
http://www.last.fm/music/Teeth+Of+The+Sea
Teeth of the Sea is a psychedelic post-rock band from London. The group (Sam Barton, Mike Bourne, John Hirst and Jimmy Martin) were inspired to forge forth in search of oblivion unknown after experiencing an epiphany during a Wolf Eyes gig.
After the release of their January 2009 album ‘Orphaned By The Ocean’ on Rocket Recordings John Hirst left the band, to be replaced by Mat Colegate. After a tour with Oneida, an appearance at the Offset Festival, and November’s ‘Holy Trinity’ tour with Gnod and Thought Foms, Teeth Of The Sea released the twenty-four-minute-long ‘Hypnoticon’ EP in January 2010. and their second album, ‘Your Mercury’ was released in November 2010.
'A pub backroom Mogwai, a fistful of hard-drinking herberts; the best thing to come out of Manor House since, um, ever. North London’s Teeth of the Sea are all these things and more.' BBC
'Teeth of the Sea are a band from London who make music that would definitely have been called post rock in the past; whatever it is now, it's pretty awesome.' Drowned In Sound

They're fantastically shoe-gazey, with a solid backline and some really nice sounding guitar parts that wash over you and occasionally break out into swish melodies.
/// Blood Sport
http://bloodsportband.tumblr.com/
Blood Sport are a new band from Sheffield, who play an odd mixture of afro-beat, noise, and punk. It works, honest. They consist of a baritone guitar, an electric guitar, drums, effected vocals and a **** load of pedals.
