Brighton Bands Not That Cool Shock

Well, we have to say that we could have done a lot better as a town, but Brighton has made two showings in the NME Cool List. Straight in at No.37 is the charming Joe Lean of Jing Jang Jong-fame (pictured), while Foals’ Yannis makes his debut at No.45. Knowing how much he hates the concept of ‘cool’ we’d have loved to have been a fly on the wall when he found out he was the top 50. Obviously we gave both of Foals and JL&JJJ their first front covers. In case you didn’t know, tattooed screamer Frank Carter from Gallows won, with friend of SOURCE Jamie Klaxon’s in second place.

Bloc Party

Local large-scale party gurus Bloc are doing another of their massive weekenders on 14th-16th March 2008. Yeah, it’s in 6 months, 200 miles away in Gt Yarmouth and we’ve got no line up information yet but it’s going to be one of the parties of the year and Brighton would be a lesser place with the Blocsters, so check out their website for regular updates.
