Hello! There's an amazing review of the Butcher Boy album in this month's Uncut. Awarding the album 4/5, Chris Roberts writes... ³John Blain Hunt is best known to Glaswegian indie scenesters as a club-runner. But his band¹s debut, inspired by monochrome movies and bleak winters, walks the walk, and these cello-and-viola-flecked songs transcend their Smiths, Tindersticks and Felt influences. ³I Could Be In Love With Anyone² aches with yearning, while ³Girls Make Me Sick² out-Morrisseys the man himself: A little pressure on my neck was all I ever wanted¹. Regret, giro-funded couplets, sensual ambiguity it¹s all here, resurrecting a great British genre². Hurrah! Available for a mere £8.99 from here - http://www.howdoesitfeel.co.uk/shop.html The band have added a few more live dates: Sat March 17th, RoTa at Notting Hill Arts Club, free afternoon show with My Sad Captains, Airport Girl and Kelman, 4pm-8pm Fri April 6th, RAFA Club, Glasgow Wed April 11th, Raynor Lounge, Sheffield, with Monkey Swallows The Universe Thur April 12th, Jabez Clegg, Manchester, with Amida Fri April 13th, Luminaire, London, with Cats On Fire and Shimura Curves Tickets for the April 13th show from here: http://www.wegottickets.com/event/15551 Ian x +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
