Andy from Out From Animals sent me a really nice hand written letter when I ordered their CD after seeing them on the Unsigned Band Mobile Awards show and he continues to send me news of their upcoming dates. They’re not my normal type of music (I’d call it triphopunk) but I find myself opening their site in a new tab while I code, it turns out that it’s just the ticket for happy html! I love customer support and thought I would let you all know (UK residents) when and where they’ll be this year…

here’s their latest upcoming dates flyer…

I love Saturdays because sometimes, early in the morning I get to watch a couple hours of TV with no one around.

Today I saw a program on Channel 4 about unsigned bands and one really stood out, not my normal musical taste but they rocked and after listening to a couple of their tracks on their Out From Animals Myspace page I was impressed.

I really like the difference between “when there were real heroes” and “listen” but also they both had elements of electronica, indie and rock in them. I like when you get samples of old educational films over parts of the track and you can zone out a bit on a track with layers of sound in them. Not too trancy though. “listen” was like this, I can imagine myself listening to this on the train.

The lyrics to “when there were real heroes” are quite good too, as well as the overall sound.

I bought their album straight away from the Out From Animals Website for a piddly three pound fiddy!

Now I feel nice for supporting an unsigned band! Here’s their latest album ad on myspace.
