Reminder for the Peppermints gig this Sunday, hope you can make it
along... Please note the Good Griefs are no longer playing because
their drummer broke his fingers over the week-end, but they are now
replaced by DOMINIC WAXING LYRICAL... Make sure to come early as this
is a very rare appearance by Dominic... See full details below, and
other gigs to look forward to at the bottom...

Sunday 30th October
at the Subway, 69 the Cowgate, Edinburgh
Doors 7.30pm, £5 / £4 mailing-list members + friends

THE PEPPERMINTS are an all-grrrrl trio from Bonsall, California
(world avocado capital, no less!) who according to their own words
play "experimental barfy trash-rock."
Their new album 'Jesüs Chryst' is out on the Animal Collective's
label PAW TRACKS RECORDS.

"Embracing the abstract exploration of subconscious that the Animal
Collective have brought to pop and bringing a thunderous, screechful,
rock n'roll soul to the Paw Tracks catalogue to boot."
(davidbowie.com)

"Jesüs Chryst is an awkward listen that will be to very few
people's
taste. But in a time where the order of the day is the polished and
false, some sticky, "fecal matter and lube" is just the oddly 'minty
fresh repost that we so clearly need." - Luke Turner (Playlouder.com)

"This is the album you buy in order to make your square parents piss
themselves in surprise. No longer can the punk of today match the
enthusiasm and creative spark of yesteryear, but bands like the
Peppermints have taken that spirit and buried it in noise and musical
explosions...the most unabashed piece of rock filth on the market
tody." (bigyawn.com)

SPECIAL LOVE is the new name of the sexy gay synthpop duo formerly
known as Bumrape. This is your last opportunity to catch them before
one of them relocates to Germany. Here again they promise
some "special love" for you to cry yourself to sleep over (and maybe
wet the bed too). Think Depeche Mode meets Whitehouse, think two
emotionally disadvantaged losers who've never kissed a girl & really
should know better...
