Fuck Buttons
Wow, this blog is keeping my busy just with the awesome bands I've got to see live. I didn't expect a lot from FUCK BUTTONS in the live set up, it's electro, so you're missing a whole element from the show
They set themselves up perfectly though, set up at The Faversham, in the middle of the dancefloor, one big table covered with leads, keyboards and strange devices
It's kind of brooding minimalist electronica with occasional heavy beats and dirty noises - hypnotising is probably the best way to describe them. I have the Bright Tomorrow single, and will be getting the album on it's release. Here are some tracks courtesy of Last FM

Black Kids
BLACK KIDS are one of the most hyped bands of recent times, if not ever. The Jacksonville quintet released a free download EP - Wizards Of Ahhs - at the back end of last year, and have all kind of plaudits ever since.
On Friday night they supported Sons & Daughters at The Cockpit. I like the EP and figured once the hype kicked in, I would never get round to seeing them, and this opportunity would be probably my best ever
And they were great!! One of the most enjoyable gigs I've been to for a long time, giving me all kind of The Cure meets Motown feelings, and generally making me feel this was all a bit like The Strokes 5/6 years ago (I railed against The Strokes at first, but now hold them in massive regard). Onstage brother / sister duo Ali & Reggie Youngblood banter charismatically, and the whole thing was all kinds of fun
The EP is still there to download, via their website, so get it while you can. A single proper is expected in April
