Gigs in photos
Here's a few pics I took at the two most recent Default This gigs. Excuse the shitty quality, they were taken on my phone!
What I've learned from the past few days is that lasagna goes down pretty well on a rider and that there is actually such a thing as a "pre gig poo" for bands.

Bloody Mammals demo
Bloody Mammals have FINALLY uploaded some of their excellent songs for all of you to listen to, share and download FOR FREE.
If you like bands such as Hot Snakes, Fugazi, Frodus & Jawbox (and let's face it, who doesn't?!) then you'll do well to check them out. I believe there's a UK tour coming soon & some sort of release is imminent so get this demo in your earholes now!

Gunning For Tamar - Notts show
Thanks so much to everyone who came down to see Gunning For Tamar, Without Maps, Fresh Eyes for the Dead Guy and Bloody Mammals on Saturday and to all of the bands for playing. I think you'll all agree the bands were incredible and it was SUCH a fun show!
Bloody Mammals impressed everyone with their first ever show, mixing elements of Frodus, Hot Snakes and Fugazi into a stonker of a set that went down so well they ran out of CDs within minutes! Fresh Eyes brought the rock with blazing riffs and shirtless shouting. Without Maps shook the walls as always with their skewed and energetic jagged post hardcore noises -this was the first show we put on with their newest streamline incarnation and it was awesome.
Lastly but by no means leastly (is that a word?!) Gunning for Tamar absolutely bossed the night with their tighter than tight intricate riffery. To top it off they were most excellent dudes. GOOD NIGHT ALL ROUND!
It's ace when bands all watch each others sets, buy each others merch and are generally good eggs.
If you didn't make it along, you missed out! But you can (and should) listen to all of the bands here:

Slowcoaches EP
Yesterday Heather from Slowcoaches sent me a track called '54' off their upcoming EP. It was a fuzzed out beast of a song, a hark back to simple yet beautiful Beat Happening melodies with added riffs. I LOVED IT. I played it about a million times before Tye Die Tapes announced that you could stream the ENTIRE Slowcoaches EP online! I'm happy to say that the whole EP follows suit on '54' and is utterly brilliant. 90s nostalgia has never sounded so good. Listen below!
You can catch Slowcoaches in London playing with Dolfinz & Bloody Mammals on 3rd April at Brixton Windmill.

SLOWCOACHES

Slowcoaches are an FMM noise pop band from Leeds. We recently had them supporting Shonen Knife, where they played so damn well that LeftLion said these nice things about them: 'Bristling with a rather chaotic energy, Slowcoaches plough the same sort of early 90s furrow that a band such as say Yuck have been doing recently, but they do it much much much better.'
----------------------------------
DOLFINZ
www.soundcloud.com/dolfinz
Dolfinz are a noise pop band from Aberdeen, with a 7'' single available on Tuff Wax Records, and a 12'' split release due out in April on Song, by Toad Records. This will be their 4th UK TOUR
"Brash, young and the lowest of fi, the duo from Aberdeenshire have a sense of humour that sets them apart from other fuzzy garage bands they could call contemporaries. Check 'em out." - The Fly

BLOODY MAMMALS
Bloody Mammals is a rock band from SW London that features up to and including: Forty fingers, eight legs, four voices, two guitars, one bass and one drum kit. Loud and energetic, FFO Jawbox, Hot Snakes, Bear VS Shark and Fugazi.
