I'm sat here with a plastic turd, a Little Comets CD, an empty plastic cup, my mobile and a green marker pen. Hopefully you've got a nice image there. Can you guess which one I'm going to review? Yup I've been looking forward to hearing this plastic turd for ages now. Finally it gets a release.... Actually the Little Comets CD (One Night in October) is bounding away on the stereo and Brian and me are discussing who it sounds like. There's defo plenty of Vampire Weekend in there but I can also hear bits of The Walkmen as well which he is mostly disagreeing with. Only on the first track mind you. I find the guys voice a little grating especially on track 2 (I can't suss the title out as the packaging is well confusing). I want to go home now. I've been here since 8 this morning and I've had a bad day. Mind you at least it's stopped snowing.

· Little Comets are from Newcastle and they craft music to counter-act the chill
factor of their rehearsal facilities, echoing the boisterous exuberance of 'I Should
Coco'-era Supergrass, coupled with a lyrical adventure more reminiscent of a
bygone era that thrust such bands as XTC into the mainstream.
· ‘One Night In October’ is the band’s debut single. It comes lavishly packaged as
a tri-fold digi-pack and is limited to 500 copies.
· Drawing upon influences such as Jonathan Safran Foer, Seamus Heaney &
Roald Dahl, the track’s an immediate statement that this isn’t your run-of-the-mill
indie act. They honed their live set through spontaneous performances at birthday
parties, trams, trains, shopping centres & lecture theatres that themselves and
their growing legion of fans frequent. They were the “Buzz” band of In The City
2008 and also gigged intensively through 2008.
