Black Tape tickets & Meursault/Honeytrap/X Lion Tamer gig

[Nonimage]

Hi folks

We just wanted to let you know about a couple of things.

Firstly, tickets for the last ever Black Tape are selling really well.
We fully expect a sellout, so if you want to come and see My Latest
Novel, Copy Haho and Mitchell Museum, please get tickets soon. You can
get them online from Ticketweb (http://is.gd/zUft) or in person at
Ripping or Sneaky Pete's.
Remember the club is free from 11pm onwards too, with lots of good
DJs.

Second, we'd like to remind you about the gig tomorrow. It's not a
Black Tape night as such, but we thought you might be interested.
Tickets are selling quite well for this too, so get down early. It's
going to be grand. Here's the info:

Meursault / Honeytrap / X-Lion Tamer
Friday 29th May
Sneaky Pete's
£5 in advance
Tickets from Ripping, Sneaky Pete's and Ticketweb - http://is.gd/v60T

MEURSAULT are fast becoming an Edinburgh institution. Last year's
album 'Pissing on Bonfires/Kissing With Tongues' was incredibly well
received, and the new 'Nothing Broke EP' looks set to bring more
success.

"Any song that invokes A-Ha, Daft Punk and speed-metal riffage is a
certified winner. A gold medal, then, to distorted pop cabal
Meursault, who cram all of the above plus thunderclap drums, banjo
snarls and a general sense of the devil's own revelry into 'The
Furnace': a feat which, by turns, conjures REM, the Arcade Fire,
midnight rituals and Ceilidh romps. They're mobilised by the
swaggering yowl of errant one-man bard Neil Pennycook - a skewed
philosopher and startling frontman with a sardonic (yet justified)
line in self-belief: "I will call myself an army, I will call muself a
king," he wryly-rightly-sings." —Plan B magazine

HONEYTRAP haven't played in Edinburgh for a few years now. Having
moved to London last year and picked up a new bass player in the form
of Sophie Dodds (formerly of Edinburgh band Korova), the band have
just recorded a bunch of new material to follow up their debut album
'Follies In Great Cities'.

"I’ve been waiting some time for this, and it didn’t disappoint. I
don’t know if it’s the tortured wail of the vocals or the demented
screech of the fiddle that does it for me, but they’re both amazing.
It’s got a sightly old-fashioned sound about it as well - something of
the early nineties that I can’t quite put my finger on." —Song, by
Toad

X-LION TAMER used to be called Ex Lion Tamer until he discovered
another band "who sound like a shit Pearl Jam" with the same name.
Whatever you want to call him, Tony Taylor makes amazing, wonky,
unashamed pop to make you swoon. He has a single out on Edinburgh's 17
Seconds Records which you should seek out.

"X-Lion Tamer gives his electronic pop a weird, wonky and rather
wonderful twist on Neon Hearts" —The List
