Roseanne Barrr will play new songs [download]

R.B. have been shredding hearts across the capital long enough now to know how to play their instruments/shout their vox with the right amount of bravado, gusto and wit(o) to deliver maximum emotional thrill. You'd rather watch Roe Bee than Party Of Five complete second season DVD boxset, anyday... but god willing, if the Victoria Mile End have a projector, you won't have to choose!!
They play for club MïLK at that aforementioned awesome pub this Saturday!



their sensational debut album 'Dumb Broad' is out now via Hex Out Tapes, but almost SOLD OUT be sure to grab one, before you have to curse yourself for missing a milestone of music in audio format soon to be obsolete, replaced with visio-sound (post-digital), right?

Michal Local Kid made a video of the special release party we held at PureGroove London some time ago, to celebrate the CHAPS 'we're so skatebored' (MïLK 001!!) and Roseanne Barrr 'dumb broad' (H.O.T.) cassettes simultaneous releases!

Chaps + Roseanne Barrr • live in London 2009

They will be playing some NEW SONGS this Saturday along with a medley of classics.
They once wrote a song about the people in the room below their practice space holding Warhammer tournaments (or whatever they're called... Engagements?) Games Workshop style, you know? '...pushing your men around'
terrific.

club MïLK / GROPETOWN / ROSEANNE BARRR + MORE




GROPETOWN are travelling down from Scotland with their pals GUMMY STUMPS to play for us in London. If you saw powerhouse banshee Julia stand in as front-woman for ULTIMATE THRUSH at YES WAY last month you'll know not to miss this! UT's performance was certainly the highlight of the fest for me, helped in no small way by Julia. She joined by UT's Laurie as members of GROPETOWN'S chaotic-cirque-no-core.

I'm also really looking forward to Ethical Debating Society, haven't seen them play since my old band shared the Barden's* stage with them aaaaages ago when they had a completely different line-up.

Plus faves Roseanne Barrr return to club MïLK, lightnin' drums/ killer strums! made up of Sophie (Woolf) and Patrick (Husbands) // sidenote, i've been trying to force† patrick into getting his other band together to play the all dayer we're doing in November, or like, ANY date they can play, with no luck as yet. They only played the all dayer last year because Sophie asked him! I almost got them to play in Maidstone like 4 years ago so i'm hoping a london show is on the cards



Plus dream line up gets even dreamier with Chapter Sweetheart in attendance - again, last saw these when we shared a stage, at this very venue! fall in love...

Not to mention
this is all for F R E E

+ DMD GIRLS ON THE DECKS!!

SATURDAY OCTOBER 9TH!! FOR FREE!!! VICTORIA MILE END

Leeds tonight, LONDON TOMORROW (BLACK SABBATH) SUNDAY 26TH OCTOBER. yes



MïLK is very honored to be hosting their London show, which also sees the first TRASH KIT gig in months! I also hear from reliable sources that Woolf have gone EPIC and are doing 80s power pop covers... or something... Joan will also be on hand to charm your heels off! It's at KORSAN bar (yes it's open, ignore the temp metal fencing) 161 Kingsland Road... IT'S NOT A HUGE VENUE SO COME DOWN EARLY if you want to guarantee entry!!! Poster below!

BELLIES! CASSETTE / MILK 005



Our latest release comes from Bristol off kilter post-whatever foodies BELLIES!.

Made up of one part Drunk Granny and one part (the) Jelas this lives up to the greatness of both those acts and while claiming it's own ground is still heartily rooted in jarring tunesmith punk. I haven't had the time or desire to think up other bands their sound could be compared to because the songs won't get out of my head! they won't leave me alone!

Non-normative melodies swirl and rumble like a well fed stomach. I've been listening to them non-stop since I received the tracks for this cassette EP (8 tracks... more a mini-album?) and have had their voices take up residence in my cranium. 'My-my Singing Brain'.

The fruity coloured cassettes are limited to just 50 copies! Make sure you pick one up from our online shop (link below) or from the band themselves when they return to the UK following their whirlwind tour of North America!

you can listen over on their myspace and ORDER THE CASSETTE!

Download some Bellies!
