A few pieces of collected news;;;

// The Horrors' second album progresses. Chris Cunningham, who made the 'Sheena Is A Parasite' video among other things, has been wearing the producer's hat for their recent sessions, and more new songs are set to be unveiled at their upcoming shows.

// Hatcham Social will be headlining a show on the 100 Club on the 17th February to celebrate the release of their new single 'So So Happy Making'. Support comes from S.C.U.M, Electricity In Our Homes (probably), and (in a weird twist of scheduling) Neils Children, with DJ sets from Faris Badwan (producer of the Hatcham single) and the P.I.X fanzine. Tickets can be bought from wegottickets.com (who send you some kind of serial number which you bring to the gig instead of a ticket. It's a bit odd.)

// The Cave Club runs a night on 26th January with The Masonics, another bunch of garage throwbacks in novelty costume. The day after, a new Junkettes-affiliated night called #NUMBERS# brings one of our favourite new bands Futurism Vs. Passeism to The Legion, Old Street.

// NEW MUSIC;; Brandon Jacobs has done a little to redeem himself after the overcloy of his debut EP with a very nice cover of Pink Floyd's 'Jugband Blues'.
