Ant here with a minor contribution to this miniscule tiddler of an update. I like it when you get a quiet period for releases as it gives you a bit of time to catch up on the relentless onslaught of the year.... Seven inches of black plastic rotate at 45rpm and the sound is a happy one coming from Lady Fortune. '12 O'Clock. Nearly 1 O'Clock, Hurry Up' rambles on about some girl going to London or something. It's chirpy guitar indie for the myspace generation. Mingus reckons this is the new school of middle english pop. I can't think of anything other than that to say so I'll waffle on about the fact hat I really enjoyed eating a banana on the train this morning. I don't think I've eaten a banana on a train since I was little. I imagined I was a little monkey on a train.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

After realising that most things are really, really boring, three charming boys from Telford called Nick, Paul and Lyndon decided to not be really, really boring and form a band. They called it Lady Fortune because everything else they came up with was pretty rubbish and they were pressed for time.

With an exceptionally large range of influences already drilled inside each member’s head, from The Smiths to The Strokes and The Beatles to Belle and Sebastian, a lovely sound started to ring around the heads of the residents of Telford. People were in love with their catchy choruses, their “I know what he means” lyrics and their energetic live shows. Before you could say “Bloody hell, how buff has the guy from Razorlight got?” word had spread and Lady Fortune took their melodic masterpieces around the country. People started writing about them in magazines and on this thing called the internet (Telford doesn’t have the internet due to Morrissey. Seriously), and they started playing some super support slots with the likes of The Automatic, The Paddingtons, Bromheads Jacket, The Young Knives and The Rumble
