Mausi- Single Launch!

So what are you going to be doing this Thursday? Are you going to be gawping at the glowing box of doom in the corner? Or would you prefer to see the future of British music?

Mausi are celebrating their first single release with an official launch party supported by some of the best local bands in the northeast, in the best live venue in the Northeast, the Cluny.

Now I know I have already swooned about Mausi's new single "Follow me Home" (its brilliant by the way) so I have decided it might be a better idea to tell you about the support acts.

Tomahawks for Targets

If you just like them for the album cover then I can't blame you, but they are actually quite good. Their music helps paint a picture of a modernising north-east with a Geordie accent and an attitude. The four of them have only been going for around a year and need your support. So get on their facebook and download the album, its a good-un. Below is the surreal video for "Sputnik"

Boy Jumps Ship

This "Yankee-punk" (how I describe American style punk) four piece have somehow managed to pull out songs that would fit quite gladly into a Leeds festival set. In fact I can easily see myself thrashing about in a mosh pit with half a pint of cider listening to their stuff. It is easy to see why the likes or Kerrang and Rock Sound Magazine have cited these guys as having a chance to make it big this year. If your still not sure why not watch their video (below) for "Backstays and Hallyards,"  great song and excellent video.

Athletes in Paris

Finally, to round off what looks to be a great night of music, the insanely catchy Athletes in Paris will be playing here ahead of their very own single release in April. Whilst their back catalogue doesn't seems as full as some other bands, their "bastardly" catchy tracks can stick in your head. Their single "Borrowed time" has a chorus that will ring round your head for the rest of the day. Below is a video of a live performance they did and I hope to hear a lot more from them soon.

So for a feast of Northeastern musical delights, get down to the Cluny on Thursday the 3rd of March.
