Cult Figures + Micko and the Mellotronics + Argonaut + The Cazales

Cult Figures – Way back when we were proudly placing our copies of ‘Live At The Witch Trials’ and ‘A Trip To Marineville’ at the front of our record racks there was a nifty little comedic lofi punk pop 7 Inch in praise of ‘Zip Nolan’ in a beautiful pinky bluey foldout sleeve …Swell Maps were involved at first but then Cult Figures became their own men and went on to create their own pleasingly ramshackle pop punk rumble… and they’re back! Again!! They only played last Month!!! But we love em. Micko and the Mellotronics – intelligent, angular, artful pop played by the immensely talented Micko Westmoreland and his crack rhythm section. Micko has played with all sorts of UK indie and ska big hitters in his time and has recently been seen working up new material (Louie Louie no less!) alongside The Blockheads for the Teenage Cancer Trust.  Argonaut – edgy but inviting arthaus indie rock with a smidge of Stereolab, a bit of Breeders, the froth off The Fall and lots of …Argonaut. Angular, attitudinal, ace. The Cazales – Nice punk tinged indie rock with a cool story telling sardonic edge as evinced by their nifty Manics meets The Wedding Present psycho killer tale of a pop gem ‘She Wants You Dead’…neat vid too. N Wales comes to N London.
