The Housewives - Getaway

"The Housewives got together late in 2006 to make hip-swerving dancefloor indie. They like geometric haircuts, very lo-fi pop music and have played with Young Knives and Belle and Sebastian. As you’d expect they make very good songs too – twisted stylophone vignettes." FUSE mag

"Multi-tasking is not a phrase usually associated with music, yet these very capable and talented bunch of folk seem to flit through different styles with relative ease. We have garagey organs, punk-funk, indie-rock and art-pop all scattered about on this 3 track single. I think we'll be hearing a lot more from these guys for sure." Jumbo Records

"Cracking trio here - lead single Getaway is fun, B-side Art School Project (our fave) has a touch of the Les Inc in its ska-touched pop groove. Will irritate some cynical sods but its winning plenty of love here with its lo-fi appeal and naff keyboards." Pure Groove

""Getaway" [is] a riotous combination of punk, house and guitar pop made to make you bounce around doing the backwards boggle. "Getaway" is backed with "Art School Project", an indie-baiting jaunt about girls, art and homemade smut, and "Shoreditch Vampires", which combines big grooves with a tale of dirty East London parties and the women who love them.
