The band, who recently inked a deal with Island records, have garnered more hot tips than a selection of oven-baked screwdrivers, and frankly, we’re very excited…
Admittedly, lots of bands play Later… some more than once, but we think it’s worth telling you about this one because:
a) No-one’s heard of them yet b) Their current single release, ‘This Is The Last Time’ is out on Fierce Panda, a tiny indie label, who, chances are, haven’t had a band on Jools Holland before, therefore dealing a blow to the Jamelias of this world. c) They’re really good. d) British Sea Power were a bit disappointing when they played the other week, and Keane can re-coup a bit of indie kudos.
Now we wonder if they’ll let Jools play boogie-woogie piano with them…
