Here We Go Magic
+ Just Handshakes (We're British)
PLEASE NOTE THIS SHOW HAS NOW BEEN MOVED TO THE COCKPIT 3
Developed over a two-month period of stream-of-consciousness recording in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Luke’s self-titled debut under his new moniker Here We Go Magic is a remarkable departure from his signature singer-songwriter material. Luke recorded the album at home using analog synths, a cassette 4-track, and his trusty SM-57 mic, coloring the sound with warmth and creating textures you want to wrap yourself in.
-From “Tell All Your Friends”
plus guest support from Leeds favourites
Just Hanshakes (We're British)
Hailing from Leeds, Just Handshakes (We’re British) formed on a dingy industrial estate and bonded over their shared love of gin and Swedish pop. As well as being chosen as Steve Lamacq’s unsigned feature of the week and receiving radio airplay on BBC 6 Music from Tom Robinson, JHWB have enjoyed support slots with bands such as The XX, Theoretical Girl, Hjaltalin, Blue Roses and The Kabeedies. Touted as ‘UK indie pop at its best’ by Rough Trade Records, Just Handshakes (We’re British) have three self released singles to their name and a debut EP on the way in early 2010.
‘Officially one of the best UK indie pop bands around.’ - Rough Trade
‘A female fronted four-piece embodying everything that was good about female fronted bands in the early 80s, think Rough Trade at its inception’ - Whiskas (Forward Russia)
‘Packed with just crisp choruses and sweetly decorated lyrics, Just Handshakes (We’re British) should get to doing some of that, flying off the ‘unsigned’ shelf and into venues near you soon.’ - This Is Fake DIY
