New video for Arrows of Love forthcoming single, Song One.

To be released on May 23rd. It's ACE!

A present from The Hysterical Injury

It's Constant Craving, a version of KD Lang's 1992 song, recorded with only a mic in the middle of a room.

In more news related to The Hysterical Injury, who headlined KYI first club night a few months ago, we received an important update. Annie and Lee are in the process of finishing the mix for their debut album, and judging by the recent gigs we saw this already promises to be one of the albums of the year!

Here are a couple of demos to wet our appetite:
Three by Hysterical Injury

This is a band that deserves to be heard and seen. Bring on the album! WE. CAN'T. WAIT.

LIVE! ZeroSet. Buffalo Bar. London. 27/04/2011

 

Goonite Club rocked the Buffalo Bar between 2003-2009 and decided to come back for a one-off (maybe?) event to mark the venue's 10th anniversary, with founder DJ Saron at its helm.

After The Early Years decided to call it a day David Malkinson formed ZeroSet, which features occasional appearances by some of the deceased band's members, as it was the case tonight. All the expectation was around this performance. And it didn't disappoint.

What we saw was a monster consisting of synth, vocals and guitar layers building up and up until exploding like a thousand suns. Half electronica, half drone rock, with a good measure of Krautrock added to the mix, powered by drum machines, live percussion loops and beautiful melodies. 

It's mind blowing. Keep your eyes peeled for ZeroSet.

Kill Yr Idols Club on April 22nd. Thank you!

The second Kill Yr Idols Club night was a blast!

Thanks to everyone who came over. We had brilliant DJ Sets by YourOtherLover, Donald Earl, Chloe (OFF N ON) and Andrew (NoFiction Club), playing electro, pop, noise and punk, and made people dance and have a great time.

Everything culminated on a magnificient live performance by KYI favourites Hold Kiss Kill, who brought a wall of sound along and were very very impressive indeed, ahead of a July set at Shoreditch Festival and their second single release.

The third KYI night should happen at the end of June, more details to follow.

Until then, bring the noise!
