Ian x ----------------- HDIF Presents XVII Friday April 13th Butcher Boy/Cats On Fire/Shimura Curves The Luminaire 311 High Road Kilburn NW6 7JR 8pm-2am, £6 Butcher Boy Having been at the heart of the UK¹s indiepop scene for the last four years as the man behind Glasgow¹s legendary National Pop League club night, John Hunt is now stepping out with a group of his own. Imagine Tindersticks, Felt, Lloyd Cole, Morrissey, and songs to die for. http://www.myspace.com/butcherboymusic Cats On Fire A brilliant new band from Finland, Cats On Fire marry the lyrical flair and melodic swagger of The Smiths with a sweet garage pop influence to form a cool new take on indiepop. Their debut album, "The Province Complains", is out soon on German indie Marsh Marigold. This will be their debut London show. http://www.myspace.com/catsonfiremusic Shimura Curves An all-female four piece from London, Shimura Curves play pristine electro pop in the vein of Stereolab and St Etienne. "Shimura Curves wear lovely carefully chosen dresses, they live on pink wine and best of all create silkily strokeable tunes full of luxuriant harmonies and flickering gorgeousness." - Kitten Painting http://www.myspace.com/shimuracurves Plus after the bands, myself and John from Butcher Boy/National Pop League will be playing some records, so we hope you stick around to dance in London's most beautiful small venue. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
