DevO Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Immaculate Machine and Controller Controller play in Peterborough on a fairly regular basis I remember, though I don't know if I saw them. Small Sins is the new name for the band formerly known as The Ladies & Gentlemen. (learned that on guigsy's blog!!) I saw The High Dials play in Peterborough.. If I remember correctly they had a psychedelic pop sound, and a cool poster for their show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Metric and The High Dials are both good bands. I don't know the others... yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guigsy Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Small Sins are incredible live. the way you described what you liked about the Clap Your Hands And Say Yeah show, i think you'd be right into Small Sins. Holy Fuck are way more electro-super-intense than "indie", not bad live for the most part. heard good things about controller controller. i know there's a magneta lane show happening here that i wanna check out - unless i missed it.. i'll let ya know how it is. hey, how bad can it be? at least none of them are the slip.

AD Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Holy Fuck - I love these guys... It's a dude from King Cobb Steelie on bass, Blue Rodeo's drummer, Brian Borcherdt and another dude. Electro squeeky stuff, awesome beats and stuff. I really like them.Magneta Lane - Hot chicks with guitars.Metric - Way better live now than even just a few months ago. Same songs though.Novillero - Paul Weller / Jam - ish pop. Guy used to front Duotang. Sounds a lot like Paul Weller to me.The High Dials - "Psychedelic" pop with sitar at times, good band kinda. Not awesome, but not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
