HAPPY001:
DIRTY HANDS - 'Get On Yer Bike, Charlie'
Limited Edition 7" vinyl and download
Produced by Gavin Monaghan (Editors / The Twang / Ryan Adams)
Release date: out now
“Another gem handed to me at a gig offering further proof of the new British beat boom. These people fit nicely alongside Fear of Flying, The Video Nasties, and that whole mis-named Thamesbeat scene. Good songs, well arranged with a nice line in lyrical metaphor rooted in everyday ups and downs. ‘Get On Yer Bike, Charlie’ outlines a tale of bad timing and poor decision making in the game of love. On first hearing I knew I had to play it on the radio that very night. It’s astonishing how Dirty Hands and their ilk make things like song structure, melody and verve seem so easy while previous generations still struggle with them. No wonder the charts are alive with guitar slingers too young to get a drink in most parts of the United States. Could this be the positive side of Blair’s tenure the historians will be looking for?”

MOLLOY - 'Tracy'
Limited Edition 7" green vinyl
Release date: out now
Check out the video:
“Also in a party mood are Molloy who featured in Stool Pigeon 007 when we opined “if they sped it up a little bit it might well be worth a foot shuffle down the disco.” Well guess what, get your stripper heels on and get up on that floor because this time it’s a no-holes barred minxy electroclash bash round Molloy’s and the beats are on them. ‘Tracy’ is a Peaches - meets - Le Tigre delight that is nothing if not danceable.”

Molloy on Steve Lamacq / Radio One + "7 out of 7" in One Week To Live!

Allegedly, Steve Lamacq gave Molloy's download LP "Album of the Week" on Radio 1. Also, dance magazine "One Week To Live" gave Tracy "7 out of 7" and it's not even a dance track!  Or maybe it is?...

Glowing reviews for the Molloy single !!!

Combining fat analogue synths and the most addictive vocal I've heard since Cansei de ser Sexy gave us 'Off the Hook'; 'Tracy' is a loveable throw-away pop nugget that you simply can't throw away... A...
