We’re putting this little shindig on in our hometown to wrap up what’s been a pretty satisfying year for us. Point your internets to the facebook event and click “Yes mate”.

Voo are from Liverpool and make stupidly good heartfelt indie-rock that harks back to the good old days when The Lemonheads and REM were taking the world by storm with stonewashed denim and loose-fitting blouses. They’ve been going for ages and we’re lucky enough to have played with them a few times in previous bands. You should check out their new album, it’s a proper stormer.

Algiers are a couple of chaps from Sheffield who have been kicking out the jams for a year or two. For just a drummer and a guitarist they make a sound that is so direct and righteous that you kinda forget that that there’s only two of them. I think one of ‘em used to be in Dartz. They have a few tracks on their souncloud page but you really, really, really should watch this amazing video for their song ‘Uncover Me’. Bloody lovely. They kinda remind me a little of later-era Promise Ring / Maritime but I’m shit at descriptions so don’t trust that at all.

Anyhow, come along. It’s going to be a beast and it’ll be the last show we’ll play for a while so we can focus on getting some new stuff nailed. It’s also the first time any of us will have played The Vic for bloody ages and we’re quite excited about that. That place was the centre of our universe when we were growing up.
