Footage sent in of our first and final songs at this years Tbreak heats in King Tut's.
"Story of the World" and "Slow Burn"
Review on the Tbreak site
L ittle D oses are first on to the King Tut's stage. The lead singer glides onto the stage with an air of sophistication, casually sipping from a wine glass. This could be an intimate dinner party if she wasn't wearing hotpants that would make Kylie blush. The first song kicks off with a thunderously sexy bass line and they frantically tear through an adrenaline laced set. The guitarist looks captivated, fitting his way through songs before pulling a face like a shy schoolboy caught out when each song ends. Quite a tough act to follow.

Review of Caberet Voltaire New Found Sound gig
L ittle D oses hit the stage decked out in red and black, oozing confidence. Lead singer Kirsten Ross languidly gestures to the crowd with one hand, clasping a champagne flute in the other. Their banter is comfortable and funny and each song displays depth with layers of texture which manages to muster a full sound from a single guitar.
Their new single, Mile High, reflects a move towards more complex arrangements and there is a distinct difference between old songs and new, though the band is barely a year old. If their album can reflect the charisma of their live shows, this will definitely be one to pick up.

Sounds Like: "Bass lines are fat and distorted, drums are hard and funky, and singer Kirsten Ross (think Catwoman meets Cristina Martinez from 90s garage rockers Boss Hog) can screech and croon with equally devastating effect."
