BRAVE NEW IDEAS #10
Thursday 13th January 2005
@ 93 Feet East, Brick Lane, London, E1
Entry FREE
Doors 7:30pm
I Like Trains
I Like Trains hail from Leeds and offer the sort of fragile beauty that would melt the most frozen of hearts. The five piece melded together 18 months ago, summised by a love of music ‘progressively English and glacially Icelandic. Live, the band offer natty British Rail outfits (eat your leaves, twigs and heart out, British Sea Power), and a selection of tastefully horrifying disaster movies via a clunking, aged projector. Vision and scope by way of Hope Of The States round the council house for tea.

Action Plan
Coruscating, driving rhythms, mixed with those all-important quiet bits, the BBC reckons ‘They snarl, they spit and they bleed every ounce of rock n roll energy they possess into each live performance. If you're at the front, expect a sweat-filled rainshower to come your way. If you're at the back.........ah
to hell with it, expect the same.’ Comparisions go with the angular beauties currently filling the press pages of the music magazines.

The Miss High 5s
The Miss High 5s are all about hooks. The London four piece excel in the art of perfectly-formed melodic pop-rock, and have an uncanny way with a stellar chorus. They can play a bit too, and we draw comparisions to the likes of Ben Kweller, David Bowie and early Blur. Good, eh?
