Live Reviews: Yuck/Mozart Parties @ The Cockpit, Leeds 20.05.11
Starting out with a brand of pop that was perhaps mildly juxtaposed to the alternative ethic of the night were Mozart Parties. Playing some rather melodramatic songs with sizeable spaces for washes of echo and reverb, they were at times brought close to the realms of cheese, particularly by their female backing singer who occasionally added some ‘na-na-na’s from the background. After the first couple of songs however, the set improved and their character became more rounded with the addition of some less obvious numbers. After a short set, Mozart Parties seemed like they were slightly unready for all this and could have done with a bit more confidence to uphold their ambitious approach to songwriting.

Live Reviews: Beat Connection @ The Old Blue Last, London 23.05.11
Beat Connection are here on this side of the Atlantic to celebrate the release of ‘Inside Water’, the first single from the recently released Surf Noir EP. Their debut saw more than one liberal daily supplement tattoo "ones to watch" on their collective forehead, following in the footsteps of label-mates D/R/U/G/S.
