If you saw the sky over Norway yesterday, you’ll know that, after decades of worrying about it, aliens have finally arrived on earth, and considering we haven’t even got round to building death rays yet, the likelihood is that they’re going to make us slaves. I think we can safely assume that music will probably retreat to call-and-respond slave songs and campfire folk, and no one will be able to blog about it. Yup, not even Gorilla vs Bear. But before this all happens, here’s a band weird enough to soundtrack the invasion: Prize Pets. Read more »

SEX IS DISGUSTING - BOX ELDERS
We’re excited about Box Elders. In fact, not only are we excited about them in general, we are specifically super excited about putting on a show for them alongside Mazes, Hygiene and Black Mamba Beat on Wednesday 2nd December at The Greenhouse Effect, Brighton. You should be too, unless you don’t like rock & roll, garage, punk rock, KBD, fuzzy-pop, the Minutemen, cheap beers, dingy basements, smoking terraces, distros, smiling people, dancing or life. All of which are elements integral to this show – either as real physical things or as influences.
SEX IS DISGUSTING - THE RENT BOYS
We’ve been bouncing on my bed to the Rent Boys ever since an eerie stranger came up to me at some sweaty party and recommended them. I didn’t know him, but he clearly understood my taste, because the Rent Boys are it. Sadly, before I could press him for more details, he had vanished in a puff of beer, never to be seen again. I’ll never know who he was and I’ll never be able to thank him.
Sex is Disgusting: Dirty Beaches
There was something about the minimal dub-pop, Suicide-esque sound of Dirty Beaches (who happen to be another one of those plural one-man-band bands) that I found magical from the first minute I heard them/him/it.
Sex Is Disgusting - Flight interview
It seems that the singular vision, unmarred by anyone else’s input or ego is the way to get shit done these days, seeing as all these one (wo)man bands that are popping up all over place are totally great. We’re talking Wavves, Blank Dogs, Dum Dum Girls, U.S Girls and Flight. Read more »
Sex Is Disgusting - Dum Dum Girls
For those unfamiliar with the denomer Sex Is Disgusting, we are Andy & James and we are a record label based in Brighton. We put out records, put on shows, put out zines and drink beer. Due to our status as two men who decided to press their own records it has been deemed by those at Vice that we should be offered a platform to tell you what music to like once a week. On a Thursday. Works for us. The less people listening to Friendly Fires and the more people listening to The Gories the better. You can go read our blog or our MySpace for information on upcoming records, shows and activities etc etc blah blah. This is the only time we’ll reference the label here, to do otherwise would be a bit crass. Read more »
