Sorry to all who were unable to get in to our Death Disco show at Notting Hill Arts Club on
Weds 14th. Capacity overflowed dramatically resulting in A&R representatives from EMI and Chrysalis amongst others left out in the cold (literally) and unable to get in.

MORE PRESS:
The Others are tipped for the top twice in this Month’s Fly Magazine. Firstly by Laurence Bell - MD Domino Records (Franz Ferdinand’s label):

“It’s a very positive time for home-grown music. We’ve had two or three years of American music coming in, and we’ve got down to the second or third division bands - chancers like Electric 6. I think there’s a new generation of British kids doing their own thing. “

“The style of music is going to be about having a good time but being smarter and more cerebral - more of an art-pop scene. The whole post-punk thing will have an influence - bands like Wire and The Buzzcocks. The Archie Bronson Outfit are terrific, like The Groundhogs meets Wire. and then there’s THE OTHERS, a Brighton Band who sound like ATV.”P38

Xfm DJ John Kennnedy: “The Libertines will calm down a little an d produce their first classic album…. More sons and daughters of Albion will appear in their wake inspired and energised by their can-do approach - look out for Special Needs, The Lams, The Others, The Cherubs [and] Unstrung to name just a few.”P37.
