SEXBEAT have teamed up with NME RADAR to present a special intimate MILK MUSIC show on Monday May 21st. The four piece from Olympia, WA have been shrouded in mystery, SST references and underground buzz surrounding their debut EP Beyond Living.
Catch them live at off radar studio space The Others, situated above a seedy pool hall at 6-8 Manor Road, Stoke Newington, London. Support comes from CHEATAHS who have a new EP coming out on Marshall Teller and SEXBEAT’s own SHARM EL SHAKES.
Garage-rock duo MY GOODNESS are to unveil their debut UK single C’mon Doll on May 28th.
Hailing from Seattle, Joel Schneider and Ethan Jacobsen specialise in snarling, White Stripes-esque riffs, with a sound heavily indebted to the energetic blues-rock championed by the likes of the Black Keys.
It’s loud, raw and deceptively simple. Catch the cinema-based video above.
SEXBEAT, and Nudie Jeans Co. are pleased to announce our annual festival RADFEST will take place on Sunday 19 August 2012.

The Black Tambourines have been the missing spike in the garage-rock circuit here in the UK. After finishing two tours in the past year with their highly-energetic and beer-fuelled shows, we’re sure a big headline tour is definitely in the works for these Cornwall lads.
Their impressive Chica EP which sold out on Art Is Hard Records is now mainly available at their live shows. Check it out below.
Catch them play the French Kissing single launch party at The Waiting Room (formerly The Drop) alongside Jerry Tropicano and French Kissing tomorrow.

Cabaret Scene is the side project of Charles Prest of Flamingods. He creates dreamy, progressive pop sounds that almost always include thoughtful lyrics, catchy guitar riffs and thumping drums. Porcelain Swimmers, the first single for his new album of the same name, comes as an energetic, bouncy song that captures the contradictory nature of the ocean to be both calmly idyllic and a crashing, splashing formidable force.
At a time when the cold weather is forcing everyone to stay indoors like hermits, the song makes you feel like it’s a little bit warmer, and a little bit closer to summer.
You can download the song below, from his soundcloud. Porcelain Swimmers the album drops next month, follow Cabaret Scene on Facebook for more updates.
