LET THEM EAT GAK vs IT HAPPENED HERE ON 17th JUNE 2008

This week united shades of indie with:

THE SPIVS

The Spivs are a two piece rock n roll band that morph the sounds of rockabilly, punk and garage. Influenced by The Clash, The Cramps, Ramones, The Ruts, The Misfits and The Sonics they manage to make more noise than an army. Dont miss out on Londons most exciting new band!

THE PEPYS

"Lee Puddefoot reports from Brixton, where The Pepys are releasing endorphins into the teenage crowd..
The fresh face of youth is everywhere, grinning at you with their pearly white teeth and (relative) innocence. These fringe sporting rosie-cheekers bop and wave their hair zealously as THE PEPYS drop their fuzzy pop bombs.
The irresistible jerky 'Cheers to Baby Harlem' is pure sun kissed Maccabees. The energetic bass line rumbles along clipping you around the ear as the playful high hat and snare tussle with each other causing a percussive skirmish.
James Taylor and Hans Thompson swap vocals, giving out little tuneful suppressed howls, as the guitar lines twirl around each other causing some melodic arousal.
"We now seem to live in a society that wants to champion mediocrity. This needs to stop...."
If there was a magical indie world where you could lay on a beach, being served cocktails by nu-rave poppets and with Jarvis Cocker mixing up the drinks at the bar, then the Pepys would be surrounded by palm trees playing 'Blue Hawaii'." - Artrocker Review May 06 2008
