Washing dishes is tedious so we formed a band.
But just who are those mysterious Housewives? Well, that's a question more than ably answered in an interview with the lovely Cat on the Wall . We suggest you read it for maximum thrills and whatnot!
HURRAH: Our second single 'Cream' is out on August 25 on Filthy Little Angels!
Here's what people have said about it so far:
"...any band that opens their new release with backing vocals sounding like Donna Summer’s ‘Love To Love You Baby,’ and still produce an exciting and innovative recording, deserves success... Excellent stuff indeed." Is This Music? ( Read full review - well, go to the site and find it, as Myspace is having a fit... )
"Strange but utterly compelling." Manchester Music ( Read full review )"Playful new wave with stranded guitar lines and some sumptuous “ooh’s†keeping it surging onwards - TH are unlike most right now, and certainly leave an indelible impression in your sub conscious, defo worth a curious listen!" Subba-Cultcha ( That's the full review, but it lives here... )

Here's what was said about the first one:
Artrocker, Dec 2007
"Their refusal to follow current trends and the decision to arrange the furniture they way they want to, not how fashion dictates they should, makes this a welcome addition to any self respecting collection. Better than sitting on the tumble drier for thrills!" Peppermint Iguana webzine

"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. Piccadilly Records
