Animals in London

Remember Komakino? Once signed to DiS Recordings, they released one brilliant single in Say Something Else, supported everyone from Bloc Party to Metric to Hope Of The States and were described by the NME as 'Brit rock's best new band'. For various reasons (departing bass players, general bad luck), they decided to call it a day last year and start afresh with two new members and under a new name - You Animals.

Here's something to jog the memory:



Anyway - Laissez Faire Club is delighted to announce that it will be hosting the new incarnation's first ever London show. The date is Wednesday 5 March, and the venue The Old Blue Last in Shoreditch. And although there isn't yet any YA material to listen to, recent reviews have suggested a more brash, heavier sound than what we were used to with Komakino. Whatever the case, this is set to be a most interesting comeback, and one certainly not to be missed.

Support comes from the utterly fantastic Post War Years, who've been causing a stir for some time now with their beguiling blend of electro, jazz, pop and rock. Also on the bill are are Butterfly Bangs, who'll be launching their new single Junk Sky, out Mon 3/3 on Weekender.
