Hey

Next Friday we bring you the hyperactive Synth Punk stylings of the FIST FITE from Portland, Oregon. After seeing FIST FITE play live in the states, the KLAXONS have decided to bring them along on their sold out UK tour in December (along side Simian Mobile Disco, Metronomy + Crystal Castles). They have been described as "a mix of the Gossip and the Lost Sounds" or how about "Siouxsie and the Banshees meets DEVO meets Les George Leningrad"?

Come down and check them out for yourself....

Hope to see you there

FIST FITE

"Actually pretty good if you like synth thrash, punk prog, and literally phoned-in screams. During the odd halftime breakdown, the band’s stomping rock drums, ominous keyboards, and scuzzy bass actually sounded a little like Justice’s horror-disco anthems."

"Though some of Fist Fite's keyboard sounds are damn close to bleeps from the original Legend of Zelda, this is not a two-bit eight-bit band. Vocalist Jonnie Monroe slides effortlessly from seductive chirp to rock howl, all while doing a spazzy tap dance across the stage. And Christian Carmine's pummeling of the boom booms has enough punch to make you blink on beat and a fluidity yet unmatched by any machine - Jason Simms. Willamete Week."

A three person punk frenzy, a bundle of raw berserker energy. Their lead singer was an animated keyboard player, who would lean back to the very edge of when she was about to tip over, and then fling herself forward to scream into the mic like there was no tomorrow - Sound on the Sound.

I was really scared they'd start evolving into a more normal band - ie more normal antics, maybe become predictable, but they haven't at all. They remain at the top of their game - you can guess, but you don't truly know what's coming next with them. - notontheguestlist.com

they don't give a s**t - it's all about getting through their set however possible - whatever that entails and last night, it brought about a lot of fun. They don't take themselves seriously at all, which I learned from TI is the most important thing possible. - notontheguestlist.com

"Cap Pas Cap occupy that awkward no-man's-land where Sonic Youth, Talking Heads and !!! might get it on at Frank Zappa's slumber party" Jonny-Krishna Rothwell, DAZED & CONFUSED

"This band reminds me of anything that was ever fascinating about Post-Punk, No Wave, etc... hints of bands like BUSH TETRAS, PYLON, early SONIC YOUTH and many more come to mind - but the best thing is that CAP PAS CAP turn all this into a sound of their own! Not only the best thing out of Ireland since many many years, but maybe as well one of the best records of this and last year!" X MIST

"CAP PAS CAP are a heady mix of disorder. Jagged guitar and irregular vocals vie with pulsating motorik rhythms to create a lean and dispassionate funk sound" Maximum Joy

"Fantastic debut EP from Dublin's Cap Pas Cap who skillfully combine elements of Sonic Youth, LCD Soundsystem, the Rapture and the Cure to create a wonderful indie-post-punk meltdown." PICADILLY RECORDS

"Out of step at home it may be, but their sparky, percussive post-punk ramblings are more than in tune with what's going on elsewhere and in the age when a song can go round the world in a matter of hours, Cap Pas Cap could be set to fly." Hot Press

Cap Pas Cap are repairing to record their debut album in early 2008.


BATS

Hatched from tiny eggs resting in the heart of a frightened child, BATS (featuring ex-members of Martha Washington) have different coloured eyes. BATS have been carving a following within the Irish independent scene playing a lot of different gigs including supports to "Gang Gang dance" and "Warlords of Pez". Bats are a mix between the heft of "Circle takes the square" and the melodies of "Blood Brothers" in a duel to the death!

Bats have just finished recording their debut release on Armed Ambitions.
