Had fun presenting for Tourdates TV last night at the Wilmington Arms, despite the flakiness of the lighting (we ended up using tea-lights)—and I'm not entirely convinced the mic was working...

That's odd—I could have sworn I posted the fabulous Cirque de Crème Anglaise coming up on 3rd February, our own special night. I shall rectify that at once. Clayton

What a fantastic set on Saturday, the Ballroom at the Cavendish Arms felt like it was made for you!

The Furbelows

"A strange mix of blues, rock, folk, dub and cabaret. It's been described as "the bastard offspring of Nick Cave and the Divine Comedy" but also likened to The Doors, The Stooges, Talking Heads and even early Pink Floyd."

The Furbelows are a south London band formed in 2007. Influences include booze, bullying and a classical education. The songs tend to revolve around disease, apocalypse, drugs, hedonism, Nazis and transvestism. Lead singer Alex doesn't actually appear on stage in drag as much as he used to though he hasn't calmed down in any other respect.

There's a Bridgehouse over yonder... To Canning Town for our second round heat of the Surface Unsigned "battle of the bands" experience. As you may recall, we defaulted through the first round because two bands dropped out. They make it quite easy of course—in the first two rounds fully four out of the six bands playing read the full post here >>

best industry quotes

"Best act of the evening is The Furbelows with their whimsical English take on Bad Seeds modern Gothic... They have the look of a bunch of debauched aristos living out the crapulent end of the Belle Epoque. They sound like an Emile Zola novel, and that's not a sound you hear every day." Richard Hodgkinson in London Tourdates
"Pleasure Machine rips up the carpet, stomps its Cuban heeled feet into the floorboards and before you know it, has created a clammy, uninhibited party. It's as simple, attractive and as much fun as a Playboy Playmate, and twice as pleasant to listen to. 'What Whiskey Is For' is nearly the kind of song that Spiritualized would write if they had a sense of humour. But, if you want a blast of pure, eccentric, in-capital-letters-FUN, you could do no better than putting 'Pleasure Machine' on loop." An New Band A Day
"I love that track! That's going to be playlisted a million, million, million, trillion times on this show. And Clayton is the best-dressed man in the whole of the UK underground scene." Jordan Thomas, playing Pleasure Machine on The Friday Forum, VS Re:Charged
