As well as running this site full of news and opinions and stuff, we're also dabbling in the sordid world of releasing records by bands we love (not that we don't love all the other bands we write about). Anyway, yes, thisGIRL and their acclaimed hyperactive rock show is currently on the road sponsored by RockSound, in support of their forthcoming single 'Hallelujah' in June. And them there Kaiser Chiefs release their cheeky eccentric indie-pop debut single 'Oh my God' this week (go grab a copy, before it sells out!) and then tour with the Ordinary Boys + Dogs Die in Hot Cars as of weds....
