Gig Guide: Sun 14th Feb

 

Sun 14th Feb 20:00 SPARTACUS LIVE :: THE SEAL CUB CLUBBING CLUB :: VINYL PROJECT :: HELEN DENNIS

The Seal Cub Clubbing Club
Five-piece post-punk band from The Wirral, England. With their lyrics covering wildly different subjects, Thom Yorke like mutterings, repetitive instrumental hooks and unconventionally catchy choruses and melodies, their music is unlike other Merseyside bands The Coral and The Zutons. They are often compared to the likes of The Fall and Radiohead.

Their first EP, Number One In A Serious, was released in January 2005 on their own mini record label, Boon(e). Containing Why Don’t You Fix It? and Slow-Motion Powerslides (in Dee), it was placed in the recommended section of Rough Trade Records and received airplay from Steve Lamacq. A second EP, the five-track The Seal Cub Clubbing Club EP was released on Nomadic in November 2005 following a UK tour in support of Brakes. It gained positive reviews from the Channel 4 website and Rough Trade Records. The Seal Cub Clubbing Club went on to continue to get positive reviews from the likes of NME and Radio 1 and played the Leeds Festival before touring the UK in support of British Sea Power.
