The Duke & The King: New single "The Morning I Get To Hell" out on 14th December 2009 on Loose Music
The Duke & The King are a glam-soul-folk quartet from New York featuring Simone Felice, Bobbie Bird Burke, Simi Stone and Nowell Haskins. Named after the travelling Shakespeare Hustlers in Mark Twain's 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' these curious blood-brothers (and sweet sister) have found a home together, a travelling church of harmony and sin where its OK to French kiss your cousin and all strays are welcome to come out of the cold and sing along to songs of love, loss, pathos and hope. The Duke & The King have been touring all corners of the globe in support of their internationally acclaimed debut album 'Nothing Gold Can Stay'.
The Duke & The King will be playing two UK shows in November:
Saturday 21 November - The Ruby Lounge - Manchester
PART CHIMP: Confirm December Thrills!
Not only have our favourite noise rockers Part Chimp released their third album, Thriller (Rock Action) – a primordial swamp of pre-grunge British noise - this year, but the band have confirmed more shows for December!
Signed to Mogwai’s Rock Action label, the Camberwell crew now feature the talents of bassist Tracy Bellaries (formerly of Ikara Colt, Mystery Meat & Soulbossa) adding to the band’s Sonic belligerence and unashamed rock ‘n’ roll showmanship.
The band STILL set the standard for uncompromising, unwieldy creativity and we say BRING THE NOISE!
CONFIRMED UK DATES:
05-Dec Brighton The Engine Rooms
13-Dec Tunbridge Wells The Forum
15-Dec London White Heat @ Madam Jojo's
Twin Atlantic meet with Tom DeLonge during US Trip
During an action-packed trip the US, which included a first-ever trip to NYC for CMJ, Scottish rockers Twin Atlantic found time for a visit to the Macbeth offices in Carlsbad, CA. During the visit, the band met up with Tom DeLonge and had the chance to watch a little of Angels & Airwaves in rehearsal. Twin Atlantic then joined Oliver Future, Crash Kings, and more for an electrifying show at LA's Viper Room.

Dead Confederate’s incredible debut album is released on Monday on Kartel, as the band also announce a string of UK dates including J Mascis support slots!
Picked as Uncut’s Debut album of the Month, ‘Wrecking Ball’ has been highly acclaimed on both sides of the pond. Kerrang pretty much summed it up last week when they said it’s “dark hearted but intelligent, violent without being aggressive and epic without losing its core of songwriting depth. 4Ks”
As a glimpse of what to expect on the tour, here’s an exclusive video from their recent show at The Fox Theatre in Boulder…

MONOTONIX: TOUR UK IN NOVEMBER
Tel Aviv’s Monotonix are The People’s band. Touring for the majority of the 365 days in a year, they have found their way into some of the most musically undernourished communities the world over, satisfying their eyes and ears (and hunger for sweaty hairy bodies). They return to the UK this November to further the cause, and with a reputation for insane live performances that promise to leave you bruised, yet smiling from ear to ear, they will surely amplify whispers that they may well be the best live band in rock music today!
The band’s debut album, ‘WHERE WERE YOU WHEN IT HAPPENED’ is out NOW via Drag City
