We hope you're having a good Thursday and that you didn't laugh to much last night whilst watching the Brit awards!

- The 405
ATP
The Breeders curated ATP festival (picture above) have added a couple more bands to the bill in the form of Tricky, Mr Lif, J-Zone and Blood Red Shoes. You can check out all the info over at www.atpfestival.com.
Throw Me The Statue
The awesome Throw Me The Statue are back with the equally awesome Purpleface EP. They've also given us a track to share with you all called 'Ship', which comes from the aforementioned EP.

Meet The Little Fockers
We met the parents and we also met the Fockers but this time we're gonna meet the little Fockers! Yes you heard me right, the 'Meet' franchise machine is ticking over as plans to make a film based around the Focker children is made. All the stars from the previous two films, DeNiro/Stiller etc will be involved.
Is this good or bad?
Oxygen Festival
Oxygen festival have announced that The Killers will be one of the headliners this year. I've never been to Oxygen before but it always came across as the Reading Festival of Ireland.

Touch & Go Records
One of our favourite record labels, Touch & Go, announced that they wouldn't be releasing new music and would be cutting their distrubution too. Thankfully since the news broke they announced that they hope to release music again some time in the future.
I really hope they do because the label has releaed some incredibely important albums in the past and continue to support great bands such as Sholi and Mi Ami.

I ask for a round two against the pills! I liked how the pill ladies are on screen during the bridge portion of the song. I guess nothing can stop us music lovers from hearing music. :) [view article]

Thanks for sharing! I really like the use of the tom toms and the harmonics on the guitar. Nice touches. It adds more dimension when appropriate. [view article]
