European touring and a Tom Petty Cover

Jack's Mannequin are set to make their UK debut this March with a string of UK dates.

Two shows have been confirmed already but no statement has been made whether more dates will be announced.

The shows confirmed are:

10th March - London Kings College
11th March - Manchester Academy 3

*~*~*

Quitzow and Setting Sun return triumphant from their European tour just in time to hook you up with new MP3s (including a kick-ass cover of Tom Petty's "You Got Lucky" by Setting Sun).

Setting Sun's cover of Tom Petty's "You Got Lucky" was recently released as part of Buffet Libre DJ's compilation CD Rewind 2. Gary Levitt of Setting Sun explains, "I'm so proud that I recorded, mixed, mastered and sent the track off to the Buffet Libre DJ's in Spain the very next day. We just got back from our European tour on Christmas Eve with a December 27th deadline looming. It was started on Dec 26th and then sent off completed Dec 27th! That's old school style. That's how records used to be made.

Listen:
Setting Sun - "You Got Lucky" (mp3)

Duck and cover

A blend of classical, electric and pop music..."Quitzow" is the name of the band and they just recently launched an album on Young Love Records, but I'm not feeling any love them for them and the only part of classical they have is the "al."

Oh the screeching. The awkwardness. It's painful. Maybe I'm being too harsh and I just happened to listen to a bad track right off the bat, but I struggled to get through it. Normally my ears don't rebel like this, it's just really bad.

It sounds like they threw random pieces of distorted sounds together and then recorded a birds cry for help just before it torpedoed into a window.

Hmm, okay, that's mean. I'm sorry. Not sorry enough to remove the line, but sorry nonetheless, because here I am bashing someone who is just doing what they love. I applaud them for whatever the hell they think they just did.

*slaps forehead*

Listen:
Quitzow - "Stay Away from John" (mp3)

By no all means, buy the music!
