Little Comets: One Night in OCT-TOW-BER

My deepest apologies for the severe delay in posting recently. It is not that I have nothing to write about. Quite the opposite in fact - I have too much I need to write about. So, finally, here's a little about Little Comets.

Over excited Geordies, Little Comets, are about to resume their mini tour, hitting Stoke, Sheffield and Newcastle, after being forced to take a break to record their album in France. A rather amusing post appeared on their myspace blog concerning zoos and elephants in relation to the events that led up to their tour cancellation.

Rammed full of enthusiasm, recent single, One Night In October, set them up for a promising 2009, defining an unmistakeable sound that combines woops, whurrs, cowbells, guitars and beautifully forceful vocals. Imagine the Black Kids' performing I'm Not Gunna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance With You after binging on E numbers and you begin to get an idea for the mash up these little northerners have produced.

Little Comets are making music that punches you in the face and asks you to sit up and take notice. Even the more chilled out Joanna makes you want to nod your head in a joyful fashion as you long for warm summer days.

Keep your ears peeled for more of their catchy northern soundclash coming your way soon. And hopefully a review here of their upcoming Sheffield gig at the Boardwalk.
