Just For Kicks: Findo Gask, Gliss, The Antlers.

Posted by:

Before you tuck into a largely American Just For Kicks this week a couple of things. First a little mention as to how excited we are that we bagged a couple of tickets for Pixies’ Doolittle London dates in October before all four dates sold out in minutes this morning. We hope you did too. Secondly please come see the Music Mule backed Stornoway show next week. The youtube vid above is their debut single ‘Zorbing’. It’d be great to see you there.

mp3: The Antlers – Kettering

‘Kettering’ is taken from The Antlers‘ ‘Hospice’ album which was out at the end of 2008 in the States. It finally got its UK release on June 23rd through French Kiss/Orchard and about time to. Achingly beautiful guitar music from this Brooklyn 3-piece. We’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for some UK dates.
