Viva Les Fischers!

About Me

perhaps they are here for The Fischers, they play rather fabulous indiepop songs that do all the right things in all the right places. They have a penchant for chiming minor chords and a sweet melancholia that recalls East Village and you just know that is bound to have me all of a quiver. For anyone with a penchant for classy songs given an accomplished but edgy performance, The Fischers are well worth looking out for tangents.co.uk.................... This was brilliant debut gig, from a group which will undoubtedly become one of my new favourite bands. Rock on, the Fischers www.pennyblackmusic.com.......... ...tapping into the same sort of mythic American songpool as the Jesus and Mary Chain, the Velvets and Galaxie 500. If the start of the set was as good as the last four songs I want to re-make their acquaintance very soon. www.soundsxp.com

A thing of beauty. A record at last.

The box is shipped by fed ex to Maks Diner across from the college in Blackburn. Mak insists on a free copy but still makes me pay for my brew. "That Lee was in a good band, he's meant to be good."......
